Abstract

A method of synchronizing a first oscillation about a first axis with a second oscillation about a second axis includes: generating a first position signal that indicates a position of the first oscillation about the first axis; generating a second position signal that indicates a position of the second oscillation about the first axis; determining a phase difference between the first and the second position signals; comparing the phase difference to a threshold value to generate a comparison result; generating a first reference signal having a first frequency and a second reference signal having a second frequency; synchronizing the first oscillation to the first frequency and synchronizing the second oscillation to the second frequency; monitoring the comparison result; and synchronously triggering a start of the first reference signal and the second reference signal responsive to the comparison result indicating that the phase difference is less than the threshold value.
