Abstract
Various embodiments provide an apparatus and method to detect timing components of a timing system. A processor sends signals to timing components and compares the responses with each other and with stored characteristic responses to detect if a timing component is present, if its characteristics have changed, to identify the connected timing component, and, if communication protocols are used, exchange data.
