Begin Recording
There are three ways to begin recording data:
1. Starting the engine while the instrument is turned off, automatically starts
the instrument and begins recording the Event.
2. Manually turn the instrument on with the
Exit/Power
button before the
engine is started. Press the Lap switch or the
Exit/Power
button to begin
recording. (The instrument must be receiving a Tach signal to begin recording
with the
Exit/Power
button. If it does not have a Tach signal, pressing this
button will turn the instrument off.)
3. Manually turn the instrument on with the
Exit/Power
button before the
engine is started. When the vehicle passes a beacon, the instrument will
begin recording, if you have a beacon receiver on your vehicle.
Information about Recording
When the instrument is recording, it can ignore multiple beacons on the track.
After receiving a signal, the instrument will ignore any other beacon signal for
the number of seconds entered in Set Limits (see Appendix B). After the number
of seconds has passed the instrument will register the next beacon signal it receives
and then begin ignoring again.
When you finish a lap, while the instrument is recording, it will display the total
time for the last lap for three seconds, before returning to the previously displayed
data. If you are displaying Lap Time while recording, the instrument will
continuously display the time of the last lap. To show running time for the current
lap, press the Max button. When the clock is running, a colon will flash in the
display.
Turning off the engine or pressing the Exit/Power button terminates the current
lap and the current Event. A new Event is started when the instrument starts
recording again. When the unit is turned off, it does not lose it’s data. When it
begins recording again, it will start a new Event on Lap one, at the end of the last
recorded Event. After 35 minutes of total record time, the instrument will begin
recording over oldest previously recorded data.
Note: The instrument will not record while the PRS (PReviouSly recorded data)
annunciator is visible on the left side of the display. The PRS annunciator shows
that the instrument is in Playback. Press the Exit/Power button until PRS is not
displayed to return to monitoring the engine and recording.
