Claim:
1. A method for device operation, the device including a control tile connected to a plurality of tiles physically distinct from the control tile, the method comprising: populating a control tile with operation instructions for the device, the operation instructions comprising operation settings for each of the plurality of tiles; sending the operation settings to the respective tiles upon each device initialization, wherein each tile prevents operation of the respective tile until the respective operation settings are received; operating each tile of the plurality based on the respective operation settings; writing tile output values from the tiles into a common circular buffer stored by the control tile in order of arrival; monitoring the circular buffer for a trigger event with a virtual monitor executed by the control tile; incrementally stepping through the circular buffer with a reading module that selectively reads the tile output values satisfying a tile output parameter associated with the trigger event; and processing the tile output values read by the reading module according to a processing function associated with the trigger event.
