DEVICE DESCRIPTION 1 LCD Display ­ Left : Handles all STARTS in Alpine Ski and Cross-Country. Handles the BLUE course in parallel racing. [. . . ] Combining results from a previous RUN file in the 705 requires that you swap keypads for the RED / BLUE race courses. The 705 will only combine times from the 1st run of a dual event if it sees the same numbers on the same keypads (left and right) even though the racers have switched race courses. Control of the RED racecourse is now on the Left-hand keyboard; control of the BLUE racecourse is now on the Right-hand keyboard ­ the inverse of the 1st run of this « event » As the racers finish, along with their NET times for the 2nd run you will see their 1st run times and a TOTAL combined time and ranking based on total time. The F + # key combination will yield a printing of results for the two racecourses based on TOTAL combined time. 17 !! 2. B Mode DIFFERENTIAL In this mode there is no start signal or net time on course considered, only the difference at the finish between the two competitors on the BLUE and the RED courses. Chose a run (RUN) (Change with ) When creating a RUN, it can be considered as the first run or as a 2nd run to be associated with a previous run in memory. · 1st run (FIRST RUN) Select with # · 2nd run or Nth run (WITH PREVIOUS RUN) to be associated with a previous run (see MENU)) 12 PENALTY !In the first round of any pair racing against one another in Parallel events, a maximum allowable difference time is often assigned. This maximum allowable time difference is called the "PENALTY". It is used ONLY in the first round when a racer is either too slow, has missed a gate, or has fallen and then must race against the same racer in the second round as they change race courses. This PENALTY system means that each pair of racres must race two runs in each round in order to advance to the next round. This will depend on course length and is decided by race officials. Since most parallel race courses are quite short (not in excess of 30 seconds) a value of 1. 5 seconds is often used and is considered a difficult amount to make up over 30 seconds of head-to-head racing. Validate your selected PENALTY value with #. The maximum programmable Penalty is 9. 9 seconds. ALL MEMORIZED RACE PARAMETERS ARE PRINTED OUT FOR VERIFICATION. IF THEY ARE NOT AS YOU WISH, REFER TO THE MAIN MENU (F KEY) FOR CHANGES !In differential mode, since the time DIFFERENCE at the finish between each pair of racers is the only concern, there is no start time or sequence to consider. For the BLUE course, input the racer number expected at the FINISH with the LEFT Keyboard and validate with # For the RED course, input the racer number expected at the FINISH with the RIGHT Keyboard and validate with # 18 !TIMING You are now ready to begin timing. · To manually simulate finishes during testing, you can trigger finishes with green buttons "2" and "4". For live timing applications: YOU MUST FIRST UNBLOCK the timing inputs to which your finish photocells are connected before any triggering from these sources will occur. Red buttons below the green manual triggering buttons for channels 2 and 4 must be used to unblock inputs 2 & 4. [. . . ] Make sure the new version is loaded (check the printout for the version number). 15) On the PC click on the free window, enter the serial number of the device (ex. 7050) and click on « Set serial number » .
