It is presented the measurement technology of the ultrasonic travel time of the ultrasonic flowmeter in this paper. It applied the high|performance complex programmable logical device instead of single devices in order to develop the stability and reliability of the system. It made use of the signal automatic gain control (AGC) and complex logical control to realize the precise measurement of the ultrasonic signal, and made use of the logical analytical method to realize double frequency and 160 MHz frequency of the counter. It achieved travel time range control and reliability analysis through software and hardware ways. The result confirmed that the acoustic travel time error was no more than 7 ns and achieved the design objective.
