Swimming Mode Menus & Settings

Arming Delay
This menu determines the length of time (Arming Delay) that
the touchpad will be inactive following a split time.
MENU-TIMER
ARMING DELAY:15*
From Main Menu – [4]>[2]>[5]
This function is extremely useful during relay exchanges to provide enough time for
competitors to exit the pool. The delay can be set from 1 to 99 seconds; 15 to 20 seconds
is typical, depending on the caliber of athletes and the length of the pool.
Press the [0]–[9] keys to enter the arming delay time and then press [ENTER] to save.
Precision
This menu sets the timer to report and display times to one
hundredth (1/100) or one thousandth (1/1000) of a second.
All of the rule books say that the system should time to a
minimum of 1/100 of a second.
MENU-TIMER
PREC: 1/100 *
From Main Menu – [4]>[2]>[6]
Use [←][→] to select between 1/100 or 1/1000 and then press [ENTER] to save.
Relay Take-Off
This group of menus will congure whether Relay Take-Off
Platforms are connected to the console, or if only push
buttons are being used.
If the console is set to use platforms or a button, the console will also ask which button
input they will be plugged into on the lane module or deck plate and the arm time that
congures how long the console is comparing the touchpad to the platform. For more
information, refer to Section 9: Relay Take-Off Platform (p.98).
RELAY TAKE-OFF
BTN/DAKTRONICS *
From Main Menu – [4]>[2]>[7]
The console can be set to NONE, BTN/DAKTRONICS, or OMEGA PLATFORM. NONE tells
the timer that there are no platforms connected. BTN/DAKTRONICS tells the timer that a
push button or a Daktronics RTOP is connected. OMEGA PLATFORM tells the timer that
an Omega platform is being used. The console will use these inputs to print and display
start reaction times for races that start on the block and relay exchanges for events
congured as relays.
Use [←][→] to select between NONE, BTN/DAKTRONICS, or OMEGA PLATFORM and
then press [ENTER] to save. If the console was set to NONE, this function is completed. If
either of the other two settings were selected, the console will prompt the operator for
additional input information.
Since relay exchanges are only used during the splits, and back-up buttons are only
needed on the nal time, the timer uses the same inputs for platforms as it does for
buttons. The platform can be plugged into the Button 1, 2 or 3 input on the lane module
or deck plate. Typically, the Button 3 input is used.
