Device and method for synchronizing data associated with a vehicle test
First Claim
1. A method for synchronizing data associated with a vehicle test, the method comprising:
- generating, using signal-generating circuitry of a synchronization device, a signal;
providing, using the signal-generating circuitry of the synchronization device, the signal to a data collection device associated with a vehicle; and
indicating, using first additional circuitry of the synchronization device, via a change in whether the signal is provided to the data collection device, whether a test associated with the vehicle has started so as to allow data collected during the test by the data collection device and data collected during the test by at least one additional data collection device to be synchronized based on the indicating via the change in whether the signal is provided to the data collection device of whether the test associated with the vehicle has started.

Abstract
A synchronization device for synchronizing data associated with a vehicle test is presented. The synchronization device may include signal-generating circuitry configured to generate a signal and provide the signal to at least one output device associated with a vehicle so as to allow a data collection device to receive the signal from the at least one output device. The synchronization device may also include first additional circuitry configured to prevent the data collection device from receiving the signal based on whether a test associated with the vehicle has started. At least one of the providing of the signal to the at least one output device or the preventing of the data collection device from receiving the signal may indicate a start of the test and may allow data collected by the data collection device to be synchronized with other collected data.

8. A synchronization device for synchronizing data associated with a vehicle test, the synchronization device comprising:
-
signal-generating circuitry configured to; generate a signal; and provide the signal to a data collection device associated with a vehicle; and first additional circuitry configured to indicate, via a change in whether the signal is provided to the data collection device, whether a test associated with the vehicle has started so as to allow data collected during the test by the data collection device and data collected during the test by at least one additional data collection device to be synchronized based on the indication via the change in whether the signal is provided to the data collection device of whether the test associated with the vehicle has started. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method for synchronizing data associated with a vehicle test, the method comprising:
-
generating, using signal-generating circuitry of a synchronization device, a signal; changing, using first additional circuitry of the synchronization device, whether the signal is provided to a data collection device associated with a vehicle, the changing of whether the signal is provided to the data collection device indicating that a test associated with the vehicle has started; and synchronizing, based on the changing of whether the signal is provided to the data collection device associated with the vehicle indicating that the test associated with the vehicle has started, first data collected during the test by the data collection device associated with the vehicle with second data collected during the test by at least one additional data collection device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
