smartline timer read back

Post by jayres »

I just got my timer working with my GPRM V9, however the first place racer always reports a time of .0001 sec. I don't have the smartline software due to the timer being passed from holder to holder for the pack. Any ideas out there on what I need to fix.

Make sure to use the start switch with that timer. If you are, check your connections. Also, the start gate should release the switch. If you are manually testing, hold the switch in before running a heat and then release it to simulate the start gate opening.

Thank you, I was manually testing and holding the start switch the whole time. Once I let it go after hitting start it worked great. Hopefully our race goes as well since it my first time running it!!
