Software and Timer Checking
Follow this procedure whenever starting up the Race Timer application software and timer
hardware:
1.
Start the software from: Start/All Programs/Logos Technology/Race Timer/Race Timer (this
may vary slightly depending on your windows operating system). There may also be a link on
your desktop.
2.
Check the status on the bottom left of the screen and take the appropriate action:
a.
“
Race Timer hardware is disconnected
”: make sure the controller is plugged into the
computer via USB and the power light is lit on the main controller unit.
b.
“
Check IR Beams
”: ensure that all the infrared beams are aligned and the receive
lights are all lit on the main controller (for IR option only) and remote module. When
corrected then this message will disappear. Note that the “start” lights associated
with the lanes (at the top of the lane light stack) will turn green when IR beams are
aligned.
c.
“
Capacitors Charging
”: Please wait while the capacitors are charging for operating
the starting solenoid module.
d.
“
Ready
”: everything is operating correctly.
3.
Press the start button (which is only possible when all the IR beams are correctly aligned)
and watch the start lights count down and the reaction time begin counting for both lanes.
4.
Depending on the starting option perform one of the following steps to start the race,
causing the racing time to begin to count and end the reaction counter:
a.
Infrared beam start: break the start beams by waving your hand through them for
both lanes.
b.
Starting Module: press the starting trigger buttons for both lanes. The switches will
turn the starting lane lights from amber to green and fire the solenoids.
5.
Break the end beams by waving your hand through them for both lanes and watch the
racing times stop for each lane. When complete the winner is highlighted and the race
speeds are calculated.
