The effectiveness of the use of optical calibration in high-precision phase laser rangefinders has been evaluated. In order to ensure the specified accuracy of distance determination in order to establish the optimal frequency of distance measurement modes and optical calibration, an appropriate formula is recommended for estimating the switching frequency of signals at the input of the range finder measuring channel. It has been established that even when using optical calibration, the accuracy of distance measurement is affected by the error of the phase detector, which is part of the rangefinder. To minimize the influence of this error, a new method for the direct measurement of the phase shift in a range finder is proposed, as well as the use of a compensation method for measuring the phase shift. The corresponding block diagrams of rangefinders are considered, in which the proposed methods for measuring phase landslides are implemented, and analytical modeling of the processes that transform them is carried out.

The paper discusses a multichannel monitoring device with a speed-optimal phase-locked loop system, which, by performing simultaneous measurements of several clock signals against the reference one, processing and transmitting measurement results by an IP-network in real time, increases the accuracy and precision of providing time synchronization signals for SMART Grid energy system. Analytical expressions where established to determine the conditions under which in the optimal system of phase-locked loop has no influence on the transient process of limiting the periodic static characteristic of the phase discriminator. Experimental studies have confirmed meeting the norms of the European standard ETS 300 462-4 for the time parameters of the reference signal generated by the phase-locked loop system, which is optimal in terms of speed, and also demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed implementation of the device for multi-channel monitoring of time synchronization signals for SMART Grid of power systems.
