2.4.

Timig Channels:

The Timy has 9 independent timing channels. Through the RS 485 interface we can extend the
channels up to 99.
2.4.1.

Delay Times and Block Times:

the variable delay- and block times make sure that you have a trouble free race, this means
that you have no double impulses and do not miss impulses. You can adjust the delay- and
block- time in the menu.
2.4.1.1.

Delay Time:

The delay time is the time after the end of an impulse in which the timing device does not
take another impulse from the same channel (e.g. a cross country runner could trigger the
photocell with both legs – this should be prevented by the delay time). You can adjust the
delay times in the menu. The delay time can be sparate adjusted for the start channel c0
and all other channels.
Factory Setting:
2.4.1.2.

Block Time:

The block time is the theoretical minimum time delay between two valid impulses on the
same channel. Impulses within the block time are stored and printed but marked as non
valid. The block time is only used in some Timy programs.
e.g. for a interval start of 30 seconds the theoretical block time is then about 20 seconds.
2.4.1.3.

Schematic Presentation of the Delay Time and Block Time:

Dt ......timing channel triggers
1 ....... timing channel triggers – valid time goes to memory – block time starts
2 ....... end of the impulse – delay time starts
3 ....... timing channel is triggers during the delay time – no impulse registration
4 ....... end of the timing impulse – delay time starts again
5 ....... timing channel is triggered during the block time – a non valid time goes to the
memory
6 ....... end of the impulse – delay time starts
7 ....... timing channel triggers – non valid time goes to the memory – block time
starts
