Change of lanes:
The change of lanes was integrated in the TdC 8001 software. Only in case of a lapping or when a
competitor does not reach the finish, this must be entered into the TdC 8001 (see below).
Lapping:
When a competitor laps another, press <MEMO> and enter the next times manually with <INPUT>.
Competitor does not reach the finish (give-up or falls):
When a competitor does not reach the finish it has to be entered into TdC 8001. Press <ALT> and
<ENTER> (on keypad of dropped out competitor) so that for the rest of the race the lane changes are
correctly assigned to the remaining competitor.
Lane is not occupied at the start:
If a lane stays free at the start, start number 0 and <ENTER> has to be entered. Then, no start number
is shown for this lane. The impulse selection is effected automatically.
