Memory
The memory function in the TdC 8000 is designed to allow you to have up to four races with the
same number range. Therefore you could have a race for man with start numbers form 1 to 100 and
a race for women with the same start numbers. If you have a race with different start numbers for
each category, the groups function should be used. Make sure that the organizing committee clearly
lists the number range of the groups and how they should be run. The TdC 8000 is designed to
allow the orderly transfer of time keeping from one race to another. It is not designed to allow the
switching of races on the spur of the moment.
The TdC 8000 has memory which will store approximately 18,000 times. Per race you can store a
maximum of 9,999 times. Together race 1 and 2 have a capacity to store 9,999 times. For instance,
if you have stored 1000 times in race 1 already you have 8,999 times available in race 2. For race 3
and 4 you have a capacity to store a total of 8067 times.
For each race a maximum of 256 heats (runs) can be stored. You can clear the memory each time
you turn the TdC 8000 on, or if you change a race in the main menu.
For the actual heat the TdC 8000 always stores the start time (time of day), finish time (time of day),
and run time, if you use the difference time mode. For the previous heat it always stores the
memory time (total time from all previous heats).
