      abstract     = {The OPERA experiment searches for muon neutrino to tau
                      neutrino oscillations in an almost pure muon neutrino beam.
                      The goal is to observe the oscillations in appearance mode
                      by using a large-scale lead/emulsion target to resolve
                      individual tau neutrino interactions. Magnetic spectrometers
                      measure the charge and momentum of beam induced muons
                      leaving the target sections. The Precision Tracker, a drift
                      tube detector consisting of almost 10000 drift tubes,
                      provides the tracking information inside the spectrometers.
                      The coordinate measurement in the drift tubes is derived
                      from a time measurement relative to an external trigger
                      signal. In order to reach the required momentum resolution
                      of less than 25 $\%$ for particle momenta up to 25 GeV, the
                      uncertainty on the trigger timing must not exceed a value of
                      5 ns. In this thesis, a procedure for the timing calibration
                      of the trigger system is presented. A step-by-step
                      calibration of the corresponding signal paths is described.
                      Applying all calibration results, a spatial resolution of
                      255 µm is achieved for the Precision Tracker, meeting the
                      specified requirements. Furthermore, a method using the
                      calibrated trigger system for performing time of flight
                      measurements with atmospheric muons is developed. The
                      average error on the measured flight times is +-4.5 ns.},
