14 years ago --- Quote Start --- do you think that we can use more repetitions of pulses to improve the measure?? --- Quote End --- If each measurement is a random variable, then averaging can improve your estimate of the mean. However, its up to you to determine what the statistics of the measurement are. I would recommend first implementing a design where you can capture the timing of every single pulse. Transfer that data to a PC where you can analyze it in say MATLAB. Plot a histogram of the data for a fixed pulse setting. However, even this setup may not be realistic, since you have not described in detail what is generating the pulses for you to measure. Create a simulated signal source that is representative of the signals you wish to measure. Then perform averaging to see if you obtain a more accurate measurement. Since you have not described how accurate your measurement must be, and over what timescale, there's little we can comment on. Cheers, Dave
