  • Page 10: Getting Started - Installation

    ETTING TARTED NSTALLATION Before FlightScope can be used, the sensor and other hardware and software must be installed. System Components Your X1 system needs a PC/Notebook computer to install and use FlightScope. The components included with your system are: Sensor Unit USB Cable AC Adapter Mains Power Cord...

  • Page 11: Hooking Up The Cables

    OOKING UP THE CABLES CAUTION Ensure that connectors are inserted with the correct orientation. The connectors are keyed to ensure that they are inserted correctly. Do not force the connectors when inserting. USB Cable Connection Insert the Communications Cable (USB) to your PC and connect the other end to the COMMS connector marked with the symbol - Insert the connector and fasten the...

  • Page 12: Placing The Sensor

    LACING THE ENSOR NOTE Use FlightScope on a level surface. There must be no obstructions in front of the sensor.

  • Page 13: Setting Up The Sensor

    ETTING UP THE SENSOR Position The sensor must be placed between 2.4 to 4 meters (8 to 14 ft.) behind the tee. Ground Surface The sensor should be used on a level surface, (grass, carpet, or hard floor). Handle CAUTION The handle is locked in position by spring loaded plungers.

  • Page 14: Switching On And Off

    Switching On and Off Switching On The FlightScope X1 has no On/Off switch. It will start up when it is connected to a power supply. The system is powered by the supplied AC adapter, which in turn must be connected to an AC supply (100-240 V AC single phase).

  • Page 16: Setup Wizard

    Setup Wizard NOTE Do set-up at least the first time the system is used. The Setup Wizard is a step-by-step procedure to be followed before using the FlightScope. It can be skipped if the set-up remains unchanged between use, but should be repeated if the set-up changes (e.g. if the system is moved to a different location).
  • Page 17 Set up the sensor mode and geometry. Setup 2. Set the Detection Mode: Select Indoor if the system is used indoors e.g. in a hitting cage with limited ball travel distance. Select Outdoor if hitting outdoors e.g. on a driving range or golf course.
  • Page 18 Ball Origin The purpose of this step is to point the sensor through the tee position along a desired target line. The target line could for example be to a distant flag or feature on a driving range, or to the center of an indoor hitting cage net. To use the wizard, select a club type to use for the test (iron, driver or wedge) and proceed to hit one or more balls from the chosen tee position.

    Setup 4. Set Altitude Set the altitude (meters or feet) as Sea Level, Medium, High or a Custom value. The Altitude setting is important when Indoor or Long Indoor modes are used, as this affects the calculation of ball flight from the initial trajectory Click “Next”...

  • Page 20: Spin Measurement

    EASUREMENT FlightScope measures the spin of a ball accurately both outdoors as well indoors where ball flight distance/time is limited. CAUTION Balls in poor condition or of poor quality (for example damaged balls) should not be used when measuring spin because the marks on the ball may cause incorrect spin to be reported.

  • Page 24: Sensor Firmware Updating

    ENSOR IRMWARE PDATING This section describes the procedures to update Sensor firmware. CAUTION Sensor firmware programming is a critical task that requires the power supply and USB connections to be uninterrupted while in process. With the sensor connected and switched on, open the Firmware Writer program from the Start Menu.
  • Page 25 Use the Refresh button to update the list if a sensor is removed and re- connected to the PC. If no sensors are listed after pressing the refresh button when a sensor is connected then the PC may still be installing software drivers.
  • Page 26 The Product Key dialog box will pop up and indicate if a product key is required or not. If the message “Please contact EDH for a product key to run this firmware”, you will be asked to supply the information provided in the product key window.
  • Page 27 10. The firmware will now be written to the sensor: 11. On completion of writing, cycle the power on the Sensor to reboot, and then click on Finish.

  • Page 36: Frequently Asked Questions (Faq)

    (FAQ) REQUENTLY SKED UESTIONS Q: What is FlightScope? A: FlightScope is a low-power 3D Doppler tracking sensor for Golf and other sports. It accurately measures the launch and flight of balls and clubs and provides quantitative data about player and equipment performance. Q: How does FlightScope work? A: FlightScope creates a low level electromagnetic field through which the golf ball and the golf club move.
  • Page 37 A: The sensor has been calibrated to be placed or mounted on the floor or ground. To measure accurately, the sensor must be carefully aligned with the tee and the ground. Follow the prescribed setup procedures. Q: Can FlightScope only be used outside on a golf course or driving range? A: No.
  • Page 38 Q: How does shot classification work? A: The actual path of the ball is determined by various factors like spin, lift, drag, aerodynamic coefficient, air pressure, humidity, etc. By measuring the actual ball flight, FlightScope can determine the type of shot (fade, draw, slice, etc.) Q: Will I receive future enhancements of FlightScope? A: You have a standard 12-month warranty on hardware and software.
