Timers TIMER
DEFINITIONS:
Total Timer: System timer, does not
reset/change with model selection, or
when transmitter is turned off, storing
total use time until it is reset.
Racing Timer: Model-specific timer; types:
Up Timer: Regular stop watch timer.
Counts up from 0 until stopped.
Runs consecutively until reset with
model selection or lap reset.
Down Timer: Count-down timer.
Counts negatively once desired time
is passed (below 0). Runs consecutively until reset with model selection or lap reset.
Lap Memory Timer: Acts as a count-up timer, storing each lap and starting a new lap each time button is pressed,
while also maintaining a total run time count-up alarm, with a pre-alarm warning time. Stores up to 100 laps,
visible on LAP-LIST (see p. 31). Has a 3-second safety window where button press does not reset the lap.
Lap Navigate Timer: Count-up timer which alarms at a set total run time, but also has a navigation alarm which
alarms every set interval (desired lap time), and then restarts the navigation alarm countdown on each button press
or upon passing each navigation alarm time. (Example: 4 minute track race, desired lap time is 30 seconds. Nav
alarm goes off if lap counter is not pressed before 30 seconds, then again after another 30 seconds, and so on until
4 minutes.) Great for practice-runs and working toward a target track time. Does NOT store individual lap times.
LAP START: Switch assignment required to indicate start/stop, or the end of each lap in lap navigate and lap memory timers.
LAP RESET:Switch assignment required to end timers and reset them to be used again.
RUN:
Timer is currently running, and displays total run timer, tracking total race time regardless of individual laps.
STP:
Timer is stopped.
RST:
Timer reset. Stops running timer, resets run timer, stores last lap to memory.
RDY:
Trigger-ready state. If set to ready, timer begins with trigger pull, doesn't require lap start button to be pressed
to begin timer; however, lap button still needs to be pressed to store each lap. Trigger activity has no effect after
starting the timer.
LAP:
Current lap number.
No.:
Number of laps stored and ready to display.
TIME:
Current running lap time.
NVALM:
Number of times the navigation alarm went off, indicating you exceeded your target lap time.
ALRM:
Total run time prior to desired alarm.
PRAL:
Pre-alarm, warning that desired time is approaching, beeps once every second until alarm time is reached.
