We designed two-dimensional position sensitive MCP(microchannel plate) detector for FIMS, which is composed of MCP, delay line anode, and delay line readout electronics. And also, we fabricated and tested for the operation stability and resolution of the delay line readout electronic system. An anode simulator and a stimulator were used instead of the real MCP and anode during the test to see the electronic contribution to the resolution. The readout electronics was operated stably and showed time resolution of about 560 ps for the spectral direction and about 100 ps for the image direction respectiveiy.
