Abstract:
Apparatuses, systems and methods associated with a trigger management device for managing triggering of sensors within measurement equipment are disclosed herein. In embodiments, a trigger management device may include trigger circuitry coupled to a sensor, the trigger circuitry to determine an amount of delay from trigger transmission to data capture for the sensor, and transmit a trigger to the sensor, the trigger to cause the sensor to capture sensor data. The trigger management device may further include encoder circuitry coupled to one or more encoders, the one or more encoders to indicate positions of one or more actuators or motors, the encoder circuitry to capture encoder data from the one or more encoders at a time that is the amount of delay after transmission of the trigger, wherein the encoder data indicates current positions of the one or more actuators or motors. Other embodiments may include circuitry to manage and/or transmit encoder and other data to multiple devices.

Claim (Index 12):
A measurement assembly, comprising:\n an actuator to translate a portion of the measurement assembly; an encoder coupled to the actuator, the encoder to indicate a current position of the actuator; a sensor coupled to the portion of the measurement assembly, the sensor to capture sensor data in response to a trigger; and a trigger management device coupled to the encoder and the sensor, the trigger management device to:\n determine an amount of delay from transmission of the trigger to capture of the sensor data by the sensor; \n transmit the trigger to the sensor at a first time, wherein transmission of the trigger at the first time is to cause the sensor to capture the sensor data at a second time, the second time being the amount of delay after the first time; and \n capture encoder data from the encoder at a second time, wherein the encoder data indicates a position of the actuator at the second time.
