F2 – WalkJump test base – This functions allows you to
verify the correct alignment of the OptoJump bars when two
or more modules have been connected to each other for the
acquisition of contact and flight times and of step lengths
during a run (WalkJump test).
After selecting the test, press F2 (Test), as indicated on the
menu
display, to begin the test itself.
Press F1 (Nmod) to set the number of modules present on the
F3 F4 track.
ATTENTION: for correct functioning of the test, it is
essential that the number of modules set on Racetime 2
corresponds exactly to the number actually present on the
measurement base.
Select F3 (menu) to return to the main menu.
The alignment test checks the measurement base for about 10
seconds (during this time the message 'Please wait' is shown).
This time is normally enough to signal inaccurate alignments
which cause ''intermittent'' interruptions at some points of the
base, and which therefore may escape detection by 'visual'
control (green 'SIGNAL' led on all the modules).
After data acquisition, the points at which an interruption has
been detected are displayed. Each module includes 32
sensors, numbered from 1 to 32. Module 1 and sensor 1 are
considered to be those which are near the connection cable
between modules TX and modules RX. To view the next
interrupted sensor, press F1 (Next). Press F4 (esc) to return to
the main menu.
If on the other hand alignment is perfect, a message of
confirmation is displayed.
