Gantner Pigeon Systems GmbH
In the case of manual marking (association) the pigeon can be selected from the list of
registered pigeons and can be marked by key stroke.
2.3 Preparations for a Test Flight at the Fancier‘s
For a test flight it is unnecessary to mark (associate) the pigeons (see also chapter 9).
When a test flight is started all the registered pigeons are automatically marked for that test
flight.
2.4 Setting the Pigeons at the Club
Before the pigeons are taken into the pigeon transporter the pigeons are set.
At the club the ATIS TOP brought along by the fancier is connected to the CLUBSYSTEM III,
which is itself connected to an atomic clock or Master clock, to the club antenna and to the
printer.
The clock operator opens the marking (associating) of the pigeons with a special
authorization key.
Now every pigeon is guided over the club antenna. By that measure the security code is
written into the chip-code- ring (this security code can neither be seen nor printed out). The
association ring number of the marked (associated) pigeon is displayed on the screen of the
ATIS TOP for control purposes.
The marking is completed when the race list has been printed out.
In the marking process (associating process) the internal quartz clock of the ATIS-TOP is
automatically synchronized with the atomic clock resp. reset. During the race the
instrument works again with its internal quartz clock. Possible time differences are
automatically realized in the course of the evaluation at the club and are taken into account
when the times are evaluated.
Entries concerning the pigeons marked (associatead) for the race cannot be changed any
more until that particular race is finished.
