5 channel Time Interval Meter

The GFT2005 is designed for advanced timing applications where precision and stability are critical. Its 13 picosecond resolution and Ethernet-based control make it ideal for use in:

• High-Energy Physics Experiments – Precise time-of-flight and event correlation measurements
• LIDAR Systems – Accurate pulse timing for distance and object detection
• Photonics & Laser Labs – Synchronizing laser pulses and measuring optical event timing
• Test & Measurement Systems – Multi-channel timing capture for validation and verification
• Aerospace & Defense – Time interval measurement in radar and signal tracking systems
• Metrology & Calibration – High-resolution time measurement in lab and industrial environments

The GFT2505 is a high-precision Time Interval Meter designed for engineers and researchers who require sub-nanosecond accuracy in a rack-mount form factor. Featuring one dedicated “Start” channel and four independent “Stop” channels, the instrument provides a 13 picosecond resolution and a wide measurement range exceeding 100 seconds, making it ideal for characterizing complex pulse sequences and time-of-flight applications.

With a 10 MHz sample rate  per channel and less than 50 ps RMS jitter, the GFT2505 ensures highly repeatable data collection for statistical analysis. The system automatically processes measurements to provide real-time Mean, Max, Min, and RMS/Jitter values, allowing for immediate performance evaluation without the need for post-processing software.

The instrument is engineered for seamless lab integration via a 10/100/1000 Mbit/s Ethernet interface and a built-in web server. This allows users to configure settings, view graphical measurement data, and save files directly to a PC from any standard web browser in seconds.

Additionally, four programmable GPIO signals facilitate communication with external equipment for automated test sequences.

Housed in a compact 19-inch, 1U rack enclosure, the GFT2505 supports both internal and external 10 MHz references to maintain long-term stability across diverse experimental environments.
