My Racal-Dana 1992 is the same way; its time interval mode is limited to the 1 nanosecond interpolated resolution of the counter.
Some counters support time interval averaging which will produce much much higher resolution but often they have a minimum time interval. If the transmission line to be measured is configured as a shorted line, then the pulse width can be measured instead to determine the line length and pulse width averaging is much more commonly supported.
