Smartline Timer settings
Posted: Fri Dec 20, 2013 9:31 am
Our Pack is currently working towards installing a solenoid start gate and using the Smartline Timer Finish Line. After getting everything set up, including the start and finish gates, USB-serial adapter with correct drivers, we have been able to properly test the solenoid starter.
However, when we run a test race in the Hardware Setup in GrandPrix Manager, the Smartline finish gate is not starting the timer when the solenoid opens. Instead, the first car across the finish gets a time of 0.0001 and then the other two cars' times are based on how long after the first car finishes that they finish. As previously stated, we are using GrandPrix Manager software and it knows that there is an issue with the times as a pop-up indicating such appears. We've looked through all of the settings on GrandPrix Manager as well as help files for GrandPrix Manager and the Smartline Finish Gate/Timer and can't figure out how to resolve this.
Any help in what settings we have incorrect would be a great help.
Thanks.
