1. A machine-implemented vehicular diagnostic method comprising:
- receiving by a data receiving device a real-time data signal from a real-time data source and a time-delayed data signal from a time-delayed data source;
monitoring by a data receiving device the real-time data signal and the time-delayed data signal for the occurrence of a synchronization event;
utilizing a differential determination device for determining a time differential between the occurrence of the synchronization event within the real-time data signal and the occurrence of the synchronization event within the time-delayed data signal; and
chronologically aligning the real-time data signal and the time-delayed data signal by time shifting one of the real-time data signal and the time-delayed data signal by an amount of time essentially equal to the time differential.

Abstract
A system and a machine-implemented method for receiving a real-time data signal from a real-time data source and a time-delayed data signal from a time-delayed data source. The real-time data signal and the time-delayed data signal are each monitored for the occurrence of a synchronization event. A time differential is determined between the occurrence of the synchronization event within the real-time data signal and the occurrence of the synchronization event within the time-delayed data signal.
