Summary:One embodiment of the present invention includes a system for managing timing functions associating with at least one timing protocol. The system comprises a controller configured to implement a plurality of functions at each of a respective plurality of scheduled times. The system also comprises a time protocol converter configured to convert each of the plurality of scheduled times to a respective plurality of time values associated with a master timing protocol. The system further comprises a master timer controller configured to generate a plurality of control signals associated with the plurality of functions based on an accumulated value of a master timer associated with the master timing protocol relative to the plurality of time values.
