Multi-Timer setup to capture performance data
Posted: Tue May 01, 2012 2:58 pm
I find this discussion to be interesting, and think there is a lot to learn about performance through multipoint timing. Any mutilane timing circuit could be pressed into this service by simply locating the finish lane sensors at various points along the track.
At the moment, I am getting ready to announce a new addition to my product line which might be of interest for multipoint timing. It is going to be marketed to advanced groups that project the results of Grand Prix or other software on the wall, or on a large TV monitor. By doing this, it is possible to eliminate the most expensive part of the finish line, which is the display. For groups that project, nobody looks at the finish line display anyway, because they want to know WHO won, not what lane won. GPRM is what tells you that. At a derby, nobody understands or cares about the elapsed time display.
The new finish line will be very small, and there will be nothing much showing on the track. This model is designed for the BestTrack, but I will be making them for all track types.
The power demands will be very modest, and it is powered by a small LR44 battery. The sensors will be mounted in the BestTrack permanently, and are disconnected using Faston connectors. It will work indoors or out.
