OMMON SETTINGS
The settings menu contains some items that you will find in all the timing programs, albeit with a few
differences related to the different race types:
Time accuracy
You can choose the accuracy of the times displayed during a race.
-
Time accuracy: change the accuracy of the net times that the Rei Pro generates. Regardless of the
value you choose, the time measurements will always be saved with the maximum accuracy that the
Rei Pro can handle (1/50000 s), so you can change the accuracy and recalculate the net times, unless
you change the last parameter of this list.
-
Time rounding: you can decide at which digit to round up to the next significant unit (e.g. millisecond
accuracy, value set to 5 and solar time 12:00:09.4613, the fifth seconds digit, i.e. 1, will be rounded
up. So the solar time will become: 12:00:09.462);
-
IAAF Rule: this is special time rounding that rounds the net value up (e.g. accuracy set to 1/100 s and
net time 25.4625 s, will become 25.47 s with the IAAF rule)
-
Round off chrono: you can also decide to truncate the time measurements to the same accuracy as
the net times. In this case, you will not be able to recalculate the net times to increase their accuracy.
Computer communication
This lets you set the serial port and USB Host communication individually, including the protocol. You can
decide whether to transmit the data on receiving it for each single event (Online Data), or to transmit it all
together at the end of the race (Offline Data), or even to send the running time (Tick).
Displayboard
This menu lets you configure whatever you
“connect to each end of the display board
cable”. In fact, you can configure t
he
display board output of the timer (setting
the speed, pause for Lap, Stop or other
events) and which display boards will be
connected to the other end of the cable.
You can choose the type of display board
connected to the Rei Pro and which of the
available visualizations to use.
You can also use a network cable to
connect to more than one display board; just enter the destination IP address, i.e. that of the display board.
Lines
This sets the physical and logical channels and manages the disable times and contact type. (See Further
Details)
