Automatic, tracking, peak timer.
We have designed an inexpensive instrument for automatically measuring time of flight for repetitive signals. It is stable in the presence of noise resembling the real signal. Specific peaks in a multipeak signal can be timed to an accuracy of about 10 ns with the present design. The output is either a digital word or an analog voltage. Computer control is simple and would make it possible to time several signals with the same instrument.
