Basic operation:
Turning On/Off:
To turn Commander on – press on/off button once. To turn Commander off press and hold
on/off button for 2 seconds. Shut down will occur automatically after 15 minutes of non-use
(shut down time can be increased or decreased by user)
Starting the timer:
Press "GO" button once to trigger shot string timing sequence, depending on start type
(instant or delayed) Commander will beep immediately or will delay briefly prior to the beep.
Shots will recorded and displayed along with first shot, split time (difference between current
and previous shot), and number of shots fired. The small animated scanline at the bottom of
the display indicates that Commander is currently listening for shots. Listening will stop after 5
minutes. This can be extended to 10 minutes. If any button is pressed on the front panel will
stop it from listening shots.
When recording shots, make sure Commander's microphone is always pointed toward the
firearm without obstruction. For ideal results keep it at distance of approximately 5 – 6 feet
from the shooter. If necessary you can get closer however always maintain a safe distance
and do not get so close that gases from the ejection port or compensator might contact the
microphone. Rather than getting closer it is better to increase the sensitivity to maintain a few
feet of distance to the shooter.
Reviewing shot string:
When timer is not in "listening for shots" mode, you can use the
and
buttons on the front
panel to navigate through a shot string and review your performance.
When reviewing shots, pressing the "M" button on front panel once will switch between
"single" or "multiple" string viewing mode. Multiple string viewing mode allows you to compare
the last 3 strings formatted like a spreadsheet for convenience. At the top are the shot
numbers and each row is a string of shots.
