Settings 

Depending on the configuration you choose, you may have only some of the settings that are available for 
the more complex races. For automatic timing with false start detection, the following will be available: 

-

 

Advise difference: you can decide 
a time tolerance, and a warning of 
excessive  difference  between  the 
touchpad impulse and the manual 
impulse  will  be  visualized  if  it  is 
exceeded. Obviously, the printout 
will  show  the  lane  in  which  the 
event occurred; 

-

 

Manual/touchpad  impulse  after:  if 
only  one  of  the  two  impulses  is 
received for a lane, after the set time, 
the timer will use the only impulse received to replace the missing one; 

-

 

Time to refresh list view: This shows the time after which the last event received will be inserted in Edit 
and Fast Edit (it is disabled if set to zero); 

-

 

False  start:  you  can  decide  the 
time  interval  before  or  after  the 
start,  outside  which  the  starting 
block  impulse  is  shown  as  a  false 
start. 

 

Screen shortcuts 

The Rei Pro lets you make changes to the 
race  very  quickly  and  conveniently, 
without the need to open a configuration 
menu.  In  fact,  the  bar  at  the  top  of  the 
screen  does  not  just  describe  the  race 
data, but it can also be edited. This means you can change the values visualized. 

Specifically, you can: 

-

 

Enter a Start solar time by simply touching the clock icon and typing the value you want; 

-

 

Increment the race number using the + and - keys; 

-

 

Change  the  expected  number  of  impulses  by  touching  the  flag  (the  race  length  will  change 
automatically); 

-

 

Change the race data by touching Info and editing the data visualized. 

You can also make changes to each individual lane. Once you have selected a lane by touching it or typing its 
number, you can lock, disqualify or annul either the touchpad or manual impulses. Just press ESC to exit from 
the lane selection. 

 

Rowing 

The "Rowing" configuration is suitable for rowing competitions where each lane is associated with a button. 

The structure is similar to swimming. In rowing, however, there may be more than one heat, so during one 
heat, the START pulse can be received to signal the start of the next heat.   The reset time is used to establish
