A method for synchronizing sensor

The invention relates to a method for synchronizing sensor, wherein the latency is determined and at least one first measured value of a first sensor (30) is output in synchronism with a second measurement value of a second sensor (40). The core of the method of the invention is that a first data rate of the first sensor (30) and a second data rate of the second sensor (40) are detected, wherein the first data rate is the second data rate in the ratio of 2 In addition, a central timer (50) is started. Furthermore, the first countdown timer, starting starting from the central timer and generated in response to the second data rate from the central timer (50) and in response to the first data rate and a second countdown timer. The first countdown timer as well as the second countdown timer will be started periodically. The first countdown timer is used for the first sensor (30) and the second countdown timer for the second sensor (40) provided, wherein the first sensor (30) starts its measurement at the latest when the first latency equal to the value of the is first countdown timer, and wherein the second sensor (40) begins at the latest with its measurement if the second latency is equal to the value of the second countdown timer.
