Test the RTOP
When using the OmniSport 2000 console:
• Plug the RTOP into a button input on the deck cabling, typically the BUTTON 3 input.
Congure the OmniSport 2000 console for that button. Refer to Relay Take-Off
(p.50).
• The red LED on the RTOP’s gray electronics box should be ashing.
• Place your hand at on the RTOP, hold for 2 seconds, and then quickly pull away. The
red LED should turn on solid for approximately 1 second then begin ashing again.
• Verify that the times are appearing on OmniSport printouts. Times should also appear
in Pro Swimming computer if using that software.
Note: The OnmiSport 2000 console must be congured for a relay event in order to
see Exchange times.
When using the pace clock:
• Set the pace clock to Program 11.
• Connect the RTOP cord into the pace clock
jack labeled PLATFORM (Figure 59).
• Place your hand at on the RTOP, hold for 2
seconds, and then quickly pull away. The top
colon on the pace clock will quickly ash on
and off if there is proper connection.
Operations
The main function of the Relay Take-Off Platform
is for relay exchanges during competitive events.
When used in conjunction with a complete
Daktronics timing system, it can be used to
detect relay exchanges to 1/100th of a second.
Daktronics RTOPs will only work with an OmniSport
2000 timer or a Daktronics pace clock. Coaches
can use the RTOP in practices with the pace
clock to improve start reaction times. Figure 60
shows a negative exchange when the swimmer
left the platform early.
