When F4 (esc) is pressed, the athlete's number and the
number of the test for the trial to be performed are displayed.
(Important: the combination athlete's code/test number is a
single item, that is to say, Racetime 2 does not allow the same
athlete to perform two tests indicated by the same test
number).
To modify the athlete's code and/or test number, press F2
F3 F4
(Edit.). Press F3 (Impos) to go back to modify the WalkJump
test settings.
Press F1 to confirm the settings and go on to the performance
of the test.
Before each data acquisition, the modules are initialized.
During initialization a message 'Please wait' briefly appears.
It is important that the measurement area should not be
crossed after acquisition, before the start of the test, otherwise
the acquisition of step length may be incorrect.
When initialization is terminated, the system is ready for
acquisition, which will begin when a START signal is
received (if 'manual' start has been chosen) or when the
000j/m
athlete being tested enters the measurement area (if
'automatic' start has been chosen).
The test finishes when another START signal is received (if
timeout is set to zero) or after the time set as timeout from the
F3 F4
start of the test has expired.
The test can be interrupted before completion by pressing CE.
It is possible to confirm by pressing F4 (OK) or to annul the
whole test by pressing F3 (CleTst).
Step length is acquired at the end of the test. It is important
that no one should enter the measurement area after the end of
the test, before the acquisition of step length has finished.
Acquisition can last a few seconds, especially if many
modules are used.

If the number of steps registered does not coincide with the
number of contact and flight times acquired, a warning
message appears on the display. However, Racetime 2
memorizes all the information acquired: if the number of steps
is higher than the number of contact/flight sequences, the
extra steps will be given zero contact and flight times; should
the opposite be the case (number of contact/flight sequences
F3 F4
higher than steps acquired), the length of the extra steps will
be zero.
