FEATURES

Everything a timekeeper needs

High-precision clock

Times captured to the millisecond (HH:MM:SS.mmm), synchronised with the system clock.

02

USB photocell

Works with the PHOTOCELL photocell and USB push buttons. Configurable debounce filter (T.Val) and line-out-of-service alarm.

03

FTP sync

Times uploaded automatically to the FTP server in the background. Share results in real time between checkpoints.

04

Data protection

Files are checked every 3 seconds. If a file is deleted by accident, it is rebuilt automatically from memory.

05

Instant results

Results file generated automatically in Finish mode, with each participant’s time as they cross the line.
