/ Abstract
The spatial and temporal performance of a telescope system comprising planar silicon sensors bump-bonded to Timepix4-v2 ASICs are assessed at the CERN SPS using a $180$~GeV/$c$ mixed hadron beam. The pointing resolution at the centre of the telescope is $2.3 \pm 0.1\;\mathrm{μm}$ and $2.4 \pm 0.1\mathrm{μm}$ in x and y directions, respectively. The temporal resolution for the combined timestamps on a track using only the information from the Timepix4 planes is found to be $92 \pm 5$~ps. The telescope is extensively described including its data acquisition system and dedicated software as well as the corrections applied to the raw measurements.
