Introduction
MT1 is a highly precise timing device which is automatically synchronized to the time of day
using built-in GPS. It has two timing channels with 1/100,000 s resolution. The timing pulses
are automatically sent to the internet, so the results are live there. As a result, impulse cables
are no longer necessary, which is particularly advantageous for long distances. Automatic
backup to the internet makes a log paper printer obsolete. If necessary, the start number can
be entered in backup or memo mode. The MT1 has a built-in Li-Ion battery and is charged via
a USB C socket.
