Product Details:

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 GFT2005 is a very precise Time Interval Meter. It has five channels: Channel 0 is used as the “Start” time reference for channels 1-4 being “Stops” events of the Time Interval measurement. Each channel can measure the time of the rising edge of one electrical input, to 13 picosecond resolution with > 100 second range. Time Interval samples can be automatically processed to provide Mean, Max, Min and RMS/Jitter.
  • The instrument uses an internal 10 MHz oscillator or an external very stable 10 MHz source.
  • The Instrument offers 4 GPIO (digital bi-directional signals) under software control for communication to external equipment.
  • The GFT2005 is a low profile 19″, 1U rack instrument with Ethernet interface.

 

  • The instrument as a built in Web server that provide an easy remote control via a standard Web Browser. “Control panel Web page” from embedded web server provide an easy method to:
    • Configure settings for each channel and Control operation and status of the instrument
    • View the measurements (value and graphic form)
    • Save the measurement in your file computer.
