Precisely timed execution of a measurement or control action and synchronization of several such actions
First Claim
1. A method of executing a measurement or control action, comprising the steps of:
- generating a temporally periodic synchronization signal by a receiver based on a timing reference signal;
dividing the temporally periodic synchronization signal by a switching frequency generated by a timing generator (14) into a plurality of switching intervals; and
associating a switching command to each of the switching intervals to trigger an associated switching process of the measurement or control action.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for a particularly precise execution of a measurement or control action and to a corresponding controller (9). A temporally periodic synchronization signal (S, S′ ) generated by a receiver (9) based on a timing reference signal (Z) is divided by a switching frequency (F) generated by a timing generator (14) into a plurality of switching intervals (In). A switching command (Cn), which triggers a corresponding switching process of the action, is associated with each switching interval (In). Several measurement and control actions can be accurately synchronized by performing each action with the aforedescribed method using a common timing reference signal (Z).
