Background： The fission ionization chamber is constituted by 235U and 238U materials as monitor in China Spallation Neutron Source （CSNS） reverse angle. Purpose： This paper mainly introduces the whole system time precision influence on the energy resolution and the actual measurement corrections. Method： The flux energy spectrum is measured accurately using n-TOF method. Results： The time resolution which is caused by energy resolution is proportional to 3/2 power energy, and the correction is induced less than 0.1% due to differences of the standard cross section energy. Conclusion： The experimental results show that the design of the ionization chamber can meet the requirements of CSNS neutron flux measurements.
