Abstract
A sensor triggering system for a sensor apparatus including a plurality of sensors. The system detects a first sensor pulse and determines a memory address of a lookup table based on the first sensor pulse. In response to the first sensor pulse, the system selectively triggers one or more of the plurality of sensors based at least in part on a codeword stored at the first memory address. For example, the codeword may comprise a number of bits such that each bit of the codeword indicates an activation state for a respective one of the plurality of sensors.
