Abstract.    Processing of a stationary train of random time intervals employing nonlinear transformation of the length of each interval aimed at eventually getting the interval distribution moments is discussed. The transformation is set to be following exponential law for reasons of materialization simplicity and accuracy. A set of equations is indicated, of which the limit form solution provides the moments in question. Two options of managing the equations, as well as the respective systematic error issue, are discussed, the error in one case heavily relying on one’s individuality. An outline of a construction for carrying out the proposed measurements is shown. It contains interval transformation units and an averaging device. No time to digit conversion is implied. This secures expansion of the range of intervals being processed into a shorter time domain as compared with a digital case. Some thoughts are shared regarding realization of the transformation units. Noted are ones based on peculiarities of the magnetization cycle of magnetic materials. For the case of processing uniformly distributed time intervals the anticipated results are presented and commented.

Key words: processing random length time intervals, measuring of distribution moments.
