Universal Live Timing Box Rev 2.0                                                                       User manual

Timing Box

 is powered again the Data Storage function restarts from the status it was in before the 

supply was disconnected.
To download the data from the 

Universal Live Timing Box

's internal memory, the system must be 

connected to the PC only, through a USB cable (type AB) inserted into the USB port (6) of the 

Universal Live Timing Box

  itself. Run the application "

Live Timing Box PC Interface

" and select 

from the menu "

selected function

" the option "

Download telemetry data

". Now the software asks to 

indicate the name of the file where to save the data which are to be stored. Once the choice has been 
made, the download starts. Its completion is signalled by the software through an apposite notice. 
The result of this operation is the creation of two files having the same name indicated by the user, 
but differentiated by the adding of "_t" and "_d" at the end of the name itself. The first contains the 
times, the second  the telemetry data. Now you only have to disconnect the 

Universal Live Timing  

Box

 from the PC. For further details as to the use of the 

Live Timing Box PC Interface

 application, 

see  the apposite manual.

 5.3.1  Erase stored data

To erase the stored data from the 

Universal Live Timing Box

's internal memory you only need to 

follow one of the following operations according to the way the 

Universal Live Timing Box

 has 

been powered. In particular:

1.

Universal Live Timing Box powered only throught the USB white cable (10)

 

 

:  hold the 

“Mem on/off” 

button down (3) until the LED (5) starts flashing. Then release the button 

and wait, without carrying out any operation, for the LED to stop flashing and begin to 
throw a steady red light again. Now the  

Universal Live Timing Box

  has completed the 

deletion of the data stored on the internal memory. During this phase the 

Universal Live 

Timing Box

 is unable to perform any other function;

2.

Universal Live Timing Box powered by PC

 

 

: in this case the user can delete the data stored 

on the 

Universal Live Timing Box

 only as indicated above in point 1 or through the 

Live 

Timing Box PC Interface

 software. In this latter case, once the 

Universal Live Timing Box 

has been connected to the PC through a normal USB cable (type AB) inserted in the "USB 
PC" port of the 

Universal Live Timing Box

 itself, it is necessary to run the application and 

choose from the menu "

Selected function

" the option 

"Erase stored data

". Now the deletion 

process starts and for its entire duration the LED(5) flashes with red light. Then it will 
return to steady red light.

 5.4  Audio language updating

Universal   Live   Timing   Box

  is   sold   with   a   default   language   for   time   playback:   English.
