2.6 Select a Race
After clearing the memory, the current race has to be selected. A maximum of four races can be stored
at the same time. Every race is completely independent, i.e. every race can use start number from 1 to
9999 and execute up to 256 heats.
Select race: 7012/ 2987 R1 < F1
0/ 2987 R2 F2
651/ 6473 R3 F3
Continue: ENTER 943/ 6473 R4 F4
For every race two figures are entered. The first figure indicates how many disk spaces are occupied,
the second one how many disk spaces are free. A deleted race has to show 0 as first figure. The last
race is suggested automatically. If you want to use this again, just press <ENTER>. If you want to select
another race, use either of the <F> keys. The selected race is indicated by an arrow.
Memory was not cleared:
If a race is selected of which the memory is not cleared, the following is shown at the info display (7):
Select heat: SAME (1) < F1 (1) means 1. Heat
NEXT (2)
F2 (2) means 2. Heat
Continue: ENTER
- If the same heat is selected, you can continue in the same heat as before.
- If the next heat is selected, a new heat is started.
New heat: - All valid run times (and total times) are saved for further heats.
- All other times are cleared.
2.7 Precision
The precision with which run, intermediate and total time are shown, can be selected with the <F> keys.
The time of day is always measured with a precision of 1/10,000 seconds.
Select precision: 1 s F1 Precision: Seconds
1/10 s
F2 Precision: Tenths of a second
1/100 s < F3 Precision: Hundredth of a second
Continue: ENTER 1/1000 s
F4 Precision: Milliseconds
2.8 Set Timing Modes
There are two possibilities of timing: difference and absolute. The timing mode for most of the programs
must be set in the prefix.
Select timing: ABSOLUTE F1
DIFFERENCE < F2
Continue: ENTER
Absolute:
Time starts from 0:00.00. For every competitor only the run time (total and intermediate) is saved. This
mode should mainly be used for mass starts.
Advantage: for every competitor only one disk space is used (1 heat, no intermediate time)
Disadvantage: time corrections are impossible
Difference:
Input the time of day when switching the device on. For every competitor start- finish- and run time is
printed. This mode should always be used for single and group starts.
Advantage: time corrections are possible
Disadvantage: for every competitor at least 3 disk spaces are occupied (start, finish and run time)
