1. A sensor system comprising:
- a power feeding section that supplies electric power to a plurality of sensors; and
a synchronization section that synchronizes output signals of the plurality of sensors, whereinthe power feeding section includes a power feeding stop part that stops the supply of electric power to the plurality of sensors, andthe synchronization section receives, from the plurality of sensors, timing information indicating when the supply of electric power is stopped by the power feeding stop part, and synchronizes the plurality of sensors using the timing information.

Abstract
A power feeding apparatus includes a power feeding stop section that stops, all together, the supply of electric power to a plurality of sensors connected to the power feeding apparatus. Each of the sensors outputs a signal including timing information indicating the timing at which the supply of electric power is stopped by the power feeding stop section. A synchronization section synchronizes the output signals of the plurality of sensors based on the timing information.
