Universal Live Timing Box Rev 2.0 User manual
3 Quickstart audio playback for the impatient
Connect the
Track Interface
to your track’s sensors according to the relative manual.
Connect the
Universal Live Timing Box
to the
Track Interface
through the
“Track to Telemetry”
cable. Connect the power supply to the
Track Interface.
IMPORTANT: Before using the Universal Live Timing Box for the first time, an “Erase stored
data” operation must be performed (please refer to § 5.3.1 ), else the box will behave as if its
memory was already full. This does not apply if you change language from the default English as
the language change erases all stored data.
Make sure that the LED near the
“Red = Audio off”
label is off. Adjust the volume.
Check, by passing a car over the lap or sector sensor(s), that the
Track Interface
and the
Universal
Live Timing Box
receive their signals (LED flashing on both boxes: yellow or green on the Track
Interface, green on the Universal Live Timing Box).
At this point, you’re playing with the cars, your lap times are transmitted in your earphones, your
driving has improved, and you've promised yourself to read the manual afterwards. It always
happens, but nobody ever
really
reads the instructions. What a pity. There are many other features
that we engineers love to put in products, and, weirdly, we are paid for doing it. The
Universal Live
Timing Box
is no exception and without a thorough reading of the manual it is very difficult to
make the best use of all its features. It stands to reason that if nobody reads the manual many
features of the product do not come to light and turn out to be useless. Then, why develop them?
Does not this render the engineers’ role useless? So please, save the engineers and read the manual.
