Introduction

The MT1 is a high-precision timing device. Using the built-in GPS, it is automatically synchro-
nized to the time of day. It has two timing channels with 1/100,000 seconds precision. The
timing pulses are automatically sent to the internet, so the results can be seen 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 bat-
tery and is charged via a USB C socket.

the top with some icons on it. The left icon is the
UMTS signal strength. After power on, this icon is blinking. That means the MT1 is searching
for a mobile network operator. If the MT1 finds a mobile network operator, it stops blinking and
shows the signal strength of the mobile network. A small "o" at the icon shows that the MT1 is
online. After a short time is changes to "s", which means that the MT1 has connection to the
