Abstract
We present an experiment designed to test a type of phase measurement syste m that could be used for LISA. The set-up consists of two parts: one is an optical signal generator to provide an optical signal similar to that expec ted for the interferometry in LISA. The other is a phase-meter which uses a technique of counting and timing to measure the phase of the signal as a f unction of time.
