Abstract: In processing devices, in particular in measuring, test or control units for the drivetrain or components thereof, it is often necessary to combine signals or data of different synchronization sources with one another or to process them whilst maintaining the original temporal relation. In order to achieve this, the signals or data have hitherto often been synchronized to a specific clock source, but this is frequently not possible. Therefore, a method and a device are specified which enable the processing of data or signals with different synchronization sources in a processing device by virtue of the fact that a dedicated time level is introduced for each synchronization source in the processing device, the temporal reference of the associated data and signals being retained in the time levels. The signals and data are processed in the time levels with the temporal original reference being maintained.
