A system is provided for performing measurements in a modular application environment. The system comprises a digital measurement data recorder adapted to create raw digital data with respect to a measurement. The system further comprises at least two modular applications, adapted to perform at least two different data processing schemes, where one comprises a measurement unit module and the other comprises an application unit module. In this context, the measurement unit module is adapted to capture or process the raw digital data from the digital measurement data recorder. Moreover, the application unit module is adapted to process raw digital data and/or measurement results from the digital measurement data recorder into a user interface.

A method for simultaneously timing multiple entities uses a timekeeping device. During timing, each of the multiple entities runs through a process starting with a start time event in a start phase followed by at least one subsequent time event in a run phase. The method comprises the following steps. In the start phase, when a first start time event occurs, a first actuator is manually actuated and the manual actuation triggers the measuring and recording of a first start time by a time measuring means. In the run phase following the start phase, when a subsequent time event occurs, the first actuator is manually actuated and the manual actuation triggers the measuring and recording of a subsequent time by the time measuring means. The timekeeping device also includes an assignment means and a second actuator.

An information storage circuit having a first memory portion configured to store a first validity bit and first data; a second memory portion configured to store a second validity bit and second data; and a subcircuit configured to: write the first data to the first memory portion and the second data to the second memory portion sequentially; and set the first and second validity bits to indicate which of the first data and second data is valid.
