Wayne Speed-Trac; Interface Control Box And Reaction Sensors - Wayne Saccadic Fixator Instructions For Using Manual

The Wayne Speed-Trac consists of a 15-foot flexible track housing a total of 32 LED lamps. The track can
be rolled out on the floor or placed on a series of tables. The Speed-Trac plugs directly into the Saccadic
Fixator. A nine-pin jack attached to a short cable connects the Speed-Trac to the supplied hand switch
(similar to the Hand Controller Joystick but with a different connector) or the Infra-Red Sensor Beam. The
track can be rolled into a one-foot diameter spiral for convenience in handling and storage.
The trainee ("batter") is positioned so that light #32 lines up with him/her and is called "home
plate." Light #1 is 20 feet from "home plate" and is called the "pitcher's mound." When the start
button on the Saccadic Fixator is depressed, light #1 (pitcher's mound) will flash on and off
approximately 180 times per minute. After a short time delay, the lights will suddenly appear to
move toward "home plate" at a pre-set speed calibrated in miles per hour. The "batter" must
respond by stopping the moving lights at the same instant that they pass over the "home plate"
(light position #32).
The trainee stops the lights by either squeezing the trigger on the hand switch or (recommended
to make the procedure more realistic) swinging a bat, racquet, or hand to interrupt the Infra-red
Sensor Beam. The location of the stopped light indicates the exact instant that the "batter"
reacted. The Saccadic Fixator then displays the early or late reaction time in thousandths of a
second (milliseconds).
The Speed-Trac may be used with programs 9-28, 9-29, 9-49, 9-50, 9-100, 9-101, and 9-102.

Interface Control Box And Reaction Sensors

The Interface Control Box plugs directly into the Saccadic Fixator and provides 5 phono jacks into
which various accessory switches can be plugged. Four of the jacks allow switches to be used in
place of the quad position (top, right, bottom, left) switch/lights on the Fixator; the fifth jack
allows a switch to be used in place of the start/stop/reset button. The Interface Control Box is
the modern replacement for the Reaction Measurement Sensor Interface which was supplied
with older Fixators.
