A limiting factor of ultrafast studies employing pump-probe techniques at free-electron lasers is the inherent jitter between optical laser and FEL pulses. Therefore, the determination of the arrival time between the two laser pulses (optical and FEL) is of utmost importance for improving the time resolution in a pump-probe experiment. We present an online diagnostic tool which allows to determine the arrival time between the two laser pulses for each shot, hereby measuring the jitter after acquiring a sufficient number of shots. This tool is based on time-resolved optical probing of the transient transmission change in a transparent, non-metal solid due to the absorption of the FEL photons.
