Additional Start Signal Features

The Start Listing indicates the source of each start, as follows:

• m for manual,
• i for image,
• r for RadioLynx,
• p for photoeye (Internal),
• t for time of day,
• l for LapTime, and
• (blank) for a start that comes from a directly connected sensor.

There is a feature called Synchronize TOD...  which can synchronize the EtherLynx camera time of day reference time to another source. The operator can specify what time it should have been when a certain event occurred;  for example, a start signal or an image frame time. 

• To sync to a start signal:

1. Select the start signal in the Start Listing.
2. Click Event | Synchronize TOD... from the Menu bar.
3. Select From Start.
4. Enter the New time: that should replace to time of day of the selected start.
5. Click Ok.

• To sync to an image frame:

1. Create a new Event.
2. Capture image.
3. Select the frame to synchronize to by positioning the hash line.
4. Click Event | Synchronize TOD... from the Menu bar.
5. Select From Image.
6. Enter the New time: that should replace to time of day of the selected start.
7. Click Ok.

In special cases such as using the Alge TED TX/RX wireless system, a start offset must be configured.

• To set a start offset:

1. Access the Camera Settings.
2. Click the Inputs Tab.
3. Check the Offset box.
4. Enter an offset value.

• The Offset will be applied to all starts coming from the selected camera.

You can override the default start sound by putting a FinishLynxStart.wav file in your FinishLynx directory (Default: C:\Lynx).
