does result in data being sent to the servers after a minimum of 10 seconds, so if speed of
data is more critical than accuracy then this could be reduced.
Dead Time is set by default to 20 seconds, meaning that after a time is recorded then
another passing will not be captured for 20 seconds, beware if using this on short laps or
turnarounds. If multiple passings are expected within a shorter time then this can be
reduced as necessary.
Both reaction time and dead time can be configured using
Hits & RSSI
When using the Track Box (Passive) you should also expect less hits compared to a RACE
RESULT Decoder with standard antenna, this is due to the communication protocol used
between Track Box and Transponder.
The reader will only communicate with each transponder in one of every 5 cycles, this
maximises the opportunity for other transponders to communicate with the reader and thus
maximising overall read rates.
Guidelines for RSSI values remain the same as
Active Trackpings
The Track Box (Passive) can also receive Trackpings from active transponders which have
tracking mode enabled. For this the channel must be set in the same way as a Track Box
(Active).
Dual Track Box Synchronisation
As with all UHF timing systems a transponder should only be in the field of one reader at
any one time, furthermore, the strong output of one reader may inhibit the receive antenna
of another box when directly facing each other.
To avoid interference between devices, Track Boxes feature dual box synchronisation which
prevents the collision of the UHF readers, two boxes will automatically synchronise their
UHF Readers to optimize read performance when:
•
The 2 boxes are within close range to each other (approx. 20m)
•
Both boxes are set to the same 2.4GHz channel
•
Both boxes have their reader turned on (not in standby or laying flat)
