Micro-Wizard Question

[NE-II-143]

Hi Folks,

New email means new user name. But I am still "Stephen's Dad"!

Our Pack was just donated a Micro-Wizard GP3 for 6 lanes. However our track is a Piantedosi Pinewood 4 lane unit.

I can't see any reason why we can't leave 2 lanes unused. Will this "confuse" the timer & interfere with it's operation?

Thanks in Advance,

Steve Jepsen

Not at all with respect to the timer. If you are using race management software, I would recommend that you cover the two unused sensors. That way, once the other 4 lanes finish, you will be able to get the results right away.

With some race management software you may have to ensure that you are not using lanes 5 and 6 (as opposed to not using lanes 1 and 2) so the results will show up properly. With earlier versions of GrandPrix Race Manager this would be a problem, but not with Version 5.0. I can't speak for other race management software.

BTW - If your email address changes, you can login and change the email address in your user profile so next time around you can use your new one. Username is not changeable (without admin help) but email address is.

Thanks Randy....We will be needing some type of accompanying software I suppose. I'll have a new laptop before our 2006 Derby. Is Race Manager 5.0 made by & available from Micro-Wizard?

Micro Wizard does carry the latest version of GrandPrix Race Manager but it was written by yours truly.

I'll call you in the morning then.
