Opening Run And Timing - TAG Heuer HL 440 User Manual

6. Opening Run and Timing

o Enter the menu (F) and select
Do not forget to unblock the external input (Red key 1 – 4), if necessary.
o The Minitimer records sequentially the time-of-day from each input. Each time can be matched with a
competitor n° (N° + ◄┘), before the impulse, or after with the RECALL function. Note: only in Split
mode.
mode: Each time can be identified with a bib number (N° + ◄┘) BEFORE the start Impulse or
SPLIT
AFTER with the function
TRAINING Mode: it is important to define correctly the parameter
Min) for the Intermediates and Finish.
The time window (min / max) automatically identifies the competitor number's expected arrival as he
passes through the various timing points while his run is in progress.
•
For intermediate times: if the crossing time is inside of the window, the bib number of the
competitor will be automatically identified to the time, and the MiniTimer will automatically
calculate the Net Time. If the crossing time is outside of this window (lower or higher), the time of
the day will be saved, but without identification. It will be necessary to use the function <R>
(Recall) in order to correctly identify this time, if desired later.
•
For Finish: if crossing time is inside the window, the time-of-day will be automatically identified
with bib number, and the MiniTimer will calculate the Net Time. On the other hand, if the crossing
time is not within the window, two scenarios are possible:
•
If the time is less than the MIN value entered in the "Capture Window," the time of the day will
be memorized, but the running time will continue until the end of the window (MAX time).
•
If the time is greater than the MAX value entered in the "capture Window" parameter, the time
of the day will be saved, but running time will automatically disappear at the MAX value, and
competitor number will be identified as a "DNF." (Do Not Finish).
Defining the capture Windows:
In training mode, it is possible to send one or more forerunners to establish estimated arrival times
for the training course. To tell the MiniTimer that a forerunner is about to start, press the "*" key and
then enter a bib N° + ENTER.
The forerunner will define the times at Inter 1 and 2, and finish.
As soon the forerunner crosses the finish line, the Minitimer will switch automatically to the
Windows" menu, and thus allows the operator to define the MIN / MAX settings for Inter 1, 2 and
Finish. On the LCD, the times set by the forerunner will be shown, so that you can fine tune the
"Capture Windows" settings.
The times recorded by the forerunner are not included in Rankings or Listings.
It is possible to cancel the new starter, in SPLIT and TRAINING mode by entering the bib's number
"0" and valid with ◄┘.
