Go to the ‘Windows’ menu (of the MacFinish
program on your computer screen) and select
‘Parameters’. You will see a window as shown at
the picture.
Adjusting the anemometer WindSpeed according to
the race or competition for which the wind velocity
needs to be measured can simply be done by
clicking the pop-up menu ‘none’ and dragging the mouse towards the required amount of
seconds to measure or towards manual or user mode (see manual MacFinish). Then release the
mouse button. For example, for a one hundred meters race, the anemometer will measure during
a period of 10 seconds and for Hurdles during 13 seconds.
For a 200 m race, the measurement starts 10 seconds after the starting shot and will cover a
period of 10 seconds. If the MacFinish operator wants to determine when exactly the wind speed
measurement is started, he will need to select ‘User Mode’. The MacFinish program foresees an
icon to manually start the wind speed measurement. For this, we refer to the MacFinish manual.
