Arbiter Systems was incorporated in 1973 in the state of California as an engineering services company. The original founders successfully expanded the company primarily by doing research for the United States Navy in the metrology. Two of the many products developed during the early years formed the basis for the company s current product lines. These products were the 1026 Satellite-Controlled Clock, introduced in 1976, which was the first truly accurate GOES clock and for which Arbiter Systems was awarded a patent on the time-delay correction algorithms; and the 1040 Panel Meter Calibrator, introduced in 1979, which helped to set new standards for a portable ac/dc calibration source. Arbiter Systems designs and manufactures electronic timing, test and measurement equipment for the global power Industries, specializing in portable calibrators, meters and GPS timing frequency products. It also provides accessories and engineering services. Arbiter Systems is located in the small community of Paso Robles on the central coast of California.
