They used to use lightbulbs and a manual switch to sync the generators. Now the computer handles it. When i ran a small co gen plant, we had three tries to jump online before the computer would shut our generator down.

The equipment you're referring to is a synchroscope, a very simple but interesting device. It usually comes with a dial that rotates left if the generator goes too fast, or right if it's too slow, to help you adjust the governor.
