A program storage device having stored instructions to coordinate (in time) the control of multiple programs is described. The stored instructions include instructions for causing a programmable control device (a computer processor, for example) to obtain a command sequence having a plurality of commands, select a first command from the command sequence (the first command having an associated first target program and an first time value), issue the first command to the first target program at a time corresponding to the first time value, select a second command from the command sequence (the second command having an associated second target program and an second time value), and following issuance of the first command issue the second command to the second target program at a time corresponding to the second time value.
