Synchronization and data review system

Abstract

A method and system control data collection and display parameters in two or more data modules in a dynamic system. The method and system provide the ability to collect and display data in a dynamic system having two or more data modules communicatively coupled thereto. As the dynamic system operates, data is generated. At least one controller manages data collection and display behavior of the two or more data modules. Ultimately, the controller controls data collection and display parameters for each of the two or more data modules in a manner that enables synchronization. The controller can be imbedded within the control module system. The method and system provides the user with the ability to better control, manipulate, review, and synchronize the collection of data in a dynamic system, whether physical or virtual, real time, or a simulation.

1 . In a simulation environment, a method for controlling collection of data generated by a dynamic system model, comprising:
 providing the dynamic system model;   providing a control system having two or more data modules, the two or more data modules being communicatively coupled to receive data from the dynamic system model;   activating the dynamic system model, thereby generating data; and   synchronizing data collection by the two or more data collection modules using the control system.
