An attempt is made to develop the analysis of pulsar arrival times, in order to estimate the sensitivity of fast pulsars as detectors of gravitational radiation and dispersion-measure fluctuations, under the assumption that they remain as good in their clocking functions as is indicated by present observations. Also explored are the limits of the use of such accurate arrival times to measure pulsar spin-down, position, proper motion, and parallax distance, in the presence of a given noise spectrum. The results obtained are applied to PSR 1937 + 214, yielding quantitative estimates of its sensitivity to gravitational wave, interstellar electron density fluctuation, and intrinsic pulsar noise sources.
