2.1 Initializing the Timer
Before each event we recommend initialising all timer and scanner devices and
synchronising to the PC real-time clock.
This ensures the devices are cleared of data and that all clocks are synchronised.
To initialise the CPT8200 timer:
-
From the RaceTime software on the PC go to Event >> Initialise Devices to
start the initialization process
-
Select menu Option 3 (Initialize) from the Main menu on the Timer and
connect to the RaceTime PC
-
On completion of the initialisation press any key on the CPT8200 timer to
return to the Main Menu. The device has been cleared and synchronised to
the PC clock.
