HOW IT WORKS

Two photocells, as many splits as you like

The first pass through the start photocell starts the clock. Each pass through the other photocell closes a split, alternating between the two until the run is complete.

  1. 01

    Prepare

    Enter the participant and team, the number of splits and which photocell gives the start.

  2. 02

    Assign

    Click each photocell’s button, then the key or controller button it sends. It’s assigned instantly.

  3. 03

    Go

    Press START RUN: the clock starts by itself at the first pass through the start photocell.

  4. 04

    Splits

    Each pass through the opposite photocell closes a split. When the last one is done, the final time is locked in.

FEATURES

Everything a split-based run needs

01

Two alternating photocells

Either photocell 1 or 2 can give the start, and each split closes on the other. Out-of-order passes are ignored.

02

Configurable splits

Choose how many splits the run has. The current split and the completed ones are always on screen.

03

Keyboard or controller

Each photocell is assigned to any key or to a USB controller button, depending on how the signal reaches the computer.

04

To the millisecond

Total and split times to the millisecond in mm:ss.mmm, using the browser’s high-precision timer.

05

Best and worst split

The breakdown shows the fastest split in green and flags the slowest, with comparison bars.

06

Public display

Opens in a second window or screen: time of day, live clock, splits and a ranking with gold, silver and bronze.

RESULTS

Split breakdown and Excel in seconds

When the run ends, the screen shows the final time and a breakdown of every split with comparison bars: the best split in green and the slowest highlighted.
