Abstract
The disclosure describes devices, systems, and techniques for checking synchronization between two or more modules of a system. In one example, a first module is configured to output a therapy, and a second module distinct from the first module is configured to receive an alternating current (AC) power signal from an AC power source, monitor a characteristic of the AC power signal, determine, based on the characteristic of the AC power signal, a period of time during which the first module is expected to one of output the therapy or refrain from outputting the therapy, and check, during the period of time, a synchronicity between the first module and the second module.
