Abstract
A system and method is disclosed which allows for the simultaneous capturing of signals at a plurality of diverse locations. In one embodiment, all transmissions received at each location are recorded for a period of time and after that period of time the recorded transmission is discarded. When a determination is made at any one of the locations that the recorded transmission includes a particular signal configuration, the time of receipt of such particular signal configuration is marked and the recorded transmission at that location is maintained so as to preserve the particular signal. When a location detects a particular signal a control signal is then sent to the other locations to cause the other locations to also 'freeze' their recorded transmissions so that the desired particular signal can be retrieved from the recorded transmission. At least a portion of the captured signals at all locations are then communicated to a common point for processing.
