2.3 Setup the Champ Timer for use with various race management
software packages.
GrandPrix Race Manager V5.0 and above–
Select the Champ or Smartline Timer in the GrandPrix Race
Manager’s Hardware Setup Options screen. Select the COM port that
will be used.
You may test the communications at this point by pressing the Start
Test button. The GrandPrix Race Manager V5.0 and above will send
the appropriate commands to the Champ Timer to get the readings
from the next race. You may trigger the sensors, simulating a race,
and the results will be displayed. You may also send individual
commands to the timer.
When you select the Champ Timer or Smartline Timer in the Hardware
Setup screen, a new tab will appear for setting the Photo Finish values.
You may set the photo finish delay times at any time during the race.
This option is available only in the GrandPrix Race Manager V5.0.1
and above.
DerbyMaster Software
For DerbyMaster version 8 & higher, select the Champ/Smartline
Timer in the hardware setup. If you have version 7 or lower we suggest
upgrading to version 8 or higher.
Do not run the Champ linesetup.exe at the same time with any racing software
as the programs will interfere with each other.
2.3.1 An optional method of setting up the timer parameters.
You may use a terminal program such as Tera Term Pro if you are familiar
with communications protocols. This program is free and may be found as a link
through the web site http://www.eTekGadget.com .
2.4 Champ Timer Finish Line Test Mode
The test mode is useful for testing the sensors. To enable the test mode,
hold the reset button down until you see a capital L on the displays. You may then
release the reset button.
The L will display for a short time (approximately 2 seconds) and then the
lane number will be displayed in the display above the respective lane for
approximately 2 seconds. The display will then show either a lower case c or an
underscore. The c indicates that the sensor is covered as if a car were sitting on the
sensor. The underscore (lowest segment on the display) indicates that the sensor is
open (nothing is on the track). To return to the normal racing mode simply tap the
reset button.
