milliseconds of Test timeout can be customized in Utility – Basic Configuration)
Finish: for the Stop type = ‘Timeout’ it is necessary to specify if, at the end of the test,
the athlete must be ‘inside the area’ of the bars or ‘outside the area’
Test length: appears only if Stop type = ‘End of Time’ and specifies how many
minutes:seconds the test must last (from 00:01 to 09:59)
Secondary Parameters
Minimum contact time [ms]: see above
Minimum flight time [ms]: see above
Maximum flight time [ms]: see above
Minimum gap between feet [cm]: see above
Minimum foot length [cm]: see above
