List of all the available fields for the Results Board. Click a field name to select it (highlighted).

- Justify (drop-down) Select the preferred justification for the selected field.
Determines whether the system should remember the times when the photo eye was triggered. Useful for printing proof of pace in any race with multiple laps, or in charting intermediate times in pari-mutuel events.
Determines whether the split times logged by the photo eye will be printed on the standard results printout.
The value of a single unit of length in the Delta Times field can be set here. It represents the average time - in seconds - for this unit of measurement to cross the finish line (i.e. the length of a dog or race horse.)
Default value for the margin to be used when calculating Pack Leaders.
The default time precision for FinishLynx can be set here.
Checking this option will display all times less than 100 seconds (1 minute 40 seconds) in whole seconds. When selected, a time of 1:07.67 will show as 67.67. This setting only controls the on-screen display of finish times and printouts. It does not affect delta times, lap times, scoreboard times, .LIF times, etc.
This value acts as the basis for all calculations of Pace. It is a relative value and has no units. For example, setting this to “1” and timing races in Miles with race distances entered in Miles will generate Pace values in Miles Per Hour; timing races in Kilometers with race distances in Kilometers will generate Pace values in Kilometers Per Hour.
Check the box to manually select the rounding method. There are three available options with FinishLynx:
- UP
This means that an actual time of 9.653 seconds at a precision of 1/1000th second will display as 9.66 at 1/100th, as 9.7 at a precision of 1/10th and as 10 to a precision of individual seconds (default method). - DOWN
This truncates the digits. With this setting, an actual time of 9.653 seconds at a precision of 1/1000th second will display as 9.65 at 1/100th, as 9.6 at a precision of 1/10th and as 9 to a precision of individual seconds. - ROUND
With this setting a mathematical function is applied: numbers five or greater round up, and four and lower round down. With this setting, an actual time of 9.653 seconds at a precision of 1/1000th second will display as 9.65 at 1/100th, as 9.7 at a precision of 1/10th and as 10 to a precision of individual seconds.
