Timing Inputs 

The TBox models 1x and 2x offers 4 inputs. 

 

 

Manual Push Buttons (inputs 1 to 4)

 

 

Jack-Mono inputs (inputs 1 to 4)

 

Working contact without potential (short-circuit)

 

 

Each press of the button or short-circuits on the Inputs are stored in the TBox memory, with 
associated date and time of impulse as CSV files.

 

The user has the ability to configure a locking time using the “TBox-Setup” App. This facility 
allows the blocking of undesired impulses corresponding to the channel configured.

 

E.g. – to ignore multiple inputs from dirt or snow dust

External power supply and battery charging 

 

COM port emulation for RS232 communication and data transfer 
-  Real time of day in many formats (FDS, TAG Heuer, Alge, Seiko) 
-  Configure the TBox-Radio options and parameters (with the app “TBox-Setup”) 

 

2GB USB Flash Drive 
-  All impulse data are stored in a .csv file on the drive 

A new file is created every time the TBox-Radio is swiched ON 

-  User needs to maintain sufficient memory availability to ensure storage of data

 

-  The space required for a competition of 1000 times is approximately 40 Kbytes 
-  Flash Drive access is only possible when the TBox-Radio is turned OFF
