1. A process for time-synchronizing receipt of data from a plurality of sensors comprising: placing the plurality of sensors in a phase-locked loop, such that data collection trigger signals for each of the plurality of sensors occur in a known pattern in relation to one another; disabling the data collection trigger signals to each of the plurality of sensors for a predetermined amount of time; and enabling the data collection trigger signal to each of the plurality of sensors after the predetermined amount of time, wherein a first set and all subsequent sets of data collected from each of the plurality of sensors are synchronized in time.
