Abstract
A new method for time interval measurement is described. It consists of an externally triggered triangular waveform generator together with an analogu e-to-digital converter to form a time-to-amplitude conversion chain (TACC). Ir features high resolution, large measurement range, improved linearity a nd simplicity: only one amplitude-to-time conversion and concise calculatio n.
