6.3.1 Zero Control for Athletics (Start Control)
There is the possibility to record the flame of the start gun fired on the start line (or flash of
the e-Start). With this test the referee can see that the time in the picture is correct without
any delay. If you select this mode the start sequence is also recorded.
•
Load the prepared “Heat” in the “Timing” container by double click in the meet browser.
•
Click on the button <Activate test start on C1>
•
Now the next start will be recorded
•
Click on <Timing> and select the precision on 1/1000
th
or 1/10000th
•
Prepare the start gun or e-Start as for a normal race at the finish line
•
Lay the start gun or e-Start on the finish line and put something dark (e.g. black paper)
under the start gun or e-Start (where the smoke comes out of the barrel or the e-Start
flashes to get a better contrast)
•
Fire start gun or e-Start
•
The start shot or flash is automatically recorded and shown in the picture on the screen.
At the start of the flame in the picture the
time must show 0.000.
If you move the time cursor inside the flame you
must see that the time increases (e.g. 0.001 sec.)
It is possible that the flame/flash is not shown very sharp in the picture. The reason is the
pixel lag. Either you must correct the pixel lag or you must switch to the black/white mode.
Switch between color
picture and black/white

6.3.2 Evaluation for Athletics
If you select athletics the group function will not work.
If you make the results by using BIB-evaluation
it is
possible to input the bib number or the lane number.
This function is very helpful, if you have a long dis-
tance race and the athletes have a side number with
the track. In most cases the bib number is not reada-
ble, but the track number (side number) is easy to
read.
