Lane Data 

The Lane Data section of the screen is where the current race data will be displayed and where 

basic operations take place during an event (see page 41).  

Lane State 

To turn a lane that is not in use off, click on the lane number. No data for this lane will be 

displayed. Click the lane number again to turn the lane back on. In the event a lane is 

accidentally turned off during an event, the software will continue to record timing inputs 

registered in the lane. Turn the lane on during the race or before saving race results and the 

lane results will be placed and saved.  

Status Bar 

The status bar located at the bottom of the screen displays the timer connection network setting, 

timer connection status, and the current course settings.
