when their hand comes off the start pad. After the start event the gate will return to normal photocell mode.
2.
Algorithm ON/OFF
– allows you to turn off SMARTSPEED’s Error Correction Processing function
3.
Include Contact Time
– if a SMARTJUMP mat is connected to one or more gates, the contact time will be
recorded each time the athlete steps on the mat.
4.
Free Timing Standard
: users can choose from various standards in order to control the test –
a.
None –
the user simply presses “STOP” when the athlete has finished
b.
Number of events –
the user can set a number of desired breaks or mat contacts to record, after
which recording for that athlete will automatically stop
c.
Time Limit
– user can set a time limit during which the athlete can break as many gates as possible,
as required. The countdown begins when the athlete breaks the first gate (NOTE – in multilane mode
the countdown for all lanes will start when the first gate is broken in ANY of the lanes)

CHUTE PROTOCOL
DESCRIPTION
The new Chute Protocol is ideal for timing medium to long distance events with groups of athletes. A group of athletes is
started by a common start signal (traffic light start or start gun), and then finish chutes are used to record the finishing time of
athletes using a combination of finish gates and Smartscan RFID readers.
Once the user presses “GO” on the PDA, the lights at the finish line will all flash and make a loud sound to start the event. The
athletes then run the event (for example a cross country race, 3km run or even a marathon) and when they come to the finish,
they run into a finish “chute”. Each chute consists of two SMARTSPEED or SMARTSPEED LITE gates. The first gate times the
athlete, and the second gate is used to register the athlete to the time, using RFID.
The procedure is therefore -
1.
Each athlete selects an available chute to run through to finish
