Test timeout [ms]: this is the end of test timeout in milliseconds; if during a Sprint/Gait
test with ‘Timeout’ stop type no input or output signal is received from the
measurement area by the OptoJump device for a period longer than or equal to the
time set here, the test is considered completed.

Consider first step: if set to No, the length of the first footfall is not taken into
consideration.
For this test type the structure of the system has to be defined as well, i.e. how many bars the
system is composed of and whether there are gaps between the bars.
In the field ‘Number of bars’, the number of connected bars must be inserted. This field is necessary
for correct test acquisition. If the inserted number of bars differs from the number of bars actually
installed, the software will signal this error suspending the test currently in progress.
Example: A system is made of 20 meters of OptoJump bars, all connected together, without gaps.
The settings to make are the following:
The and buttons are respectively for removing or adding blocks of OptoJump bars. This
function can be used, for example, in hurdle jumping, where between one hurdle and the next one
interruptions are made connecting bars with a flat cable.
The ‘Distance’ field is for indicating the distance between the blocks in centimeters. The first
‘Distance’ (D
0
) corresponds to the distance between the athlete’s initial position and the first block.
For example, in athletics, if the start is from the blocks, the distance from the springboard to the
first block must be calculated. The other distances (D
1
, D
2
, etc.) indicate the distance between the
last lens of a bar and the first lens of the following bar (end and beginning of the two half moons).
