==Hardware Roadmap==

{| class="wikitable"
|- 
!
! Design !! Objective 
|- 
| '''#1'''
| Time Card based PPS measurement
| Scaleable use of the Time Card in a generic server to perform up to 4 PPS measurements
|-
|}

==Software==
{| class="wikitable"
|- 
!
! Design !! Objective 
|- 
| '''#1'''
| Time Card based PPS measurement
| Interface with Time Card driver and export PPS measurement data in a useful format
|-
|}

==Potential Future Hardware Solutions==

{| class="wikitable"
|- 
!
! Core Hardware !! Objective 
|- 
| '''#1'''
| TDC
| Small, cheap, and low power use-case
|-
|- 
| '''#2'''
| PTM controller
| A PCIe based daughter card that can be synchronized with a high stability source (Time Card) over PCIe to scale PPS measurements
|-
|- 
| '''#3'''
| UWB
| A method for distributing GPS and time to areas where measurements are made, but GPS is not available
|-
|- 
| '''#4'''
| DPLL
| A discrete design based around a DPLL , removing the need for an FPGA
