Abstract
A system for determining the time between the receipt of two different sils, includes a voltage ramp generator which generates a time dependent voltage signal upon receipt of a timing pulse at a time T.sub.1, and provides the instantaneous value of the voltage signal when the voltage ramp generator receives an input signal having a predetermined threshold value at time T.sub.2. A data processor coupled to receive the voltage signal, generates the timing pulse, and determines a time difference .DELTA.T from the voltage signal, where .DELTA.T=T.sub.2 -T.sub.1.
