2.6.1 START TIME 1
In this mode MicroGraph simulates a start timer. The beeper is activated at -10 seconds, at -5, -4, -3, -2, -1,
and 0 seconds from the set start time. Normally, the built-in beeper is too weak. It is advisable to connect
the loudspeaker to the external socket on the side control panel. The start device (starting gate or other)
should be connected to the START-STOP-LAP-INPUTS input. At each start the starting time (minutes,
seconds and thousandths) and the deviation in minutes, seconds and thousandths relative to the scheduled
starting time (with - for early start and + for delayed start) are displayed in sequence.
NOTE: The first start is given at the first net minute after activation of the Countdown Program.
2.6.1.1 SETUP
The time intervals between successive starts, the green light time and the time displayed can be preset (so
as to synchronize the internal clock with other devices, usually the main chronometer).
The period between each start is set to 0 and the countdown from -10 seconds starts when the LAP-SETUP
key is pressed (or when the Lap input is activated).
In this way the start sequence can be set manually. In this case deviation from the scheduled start time is
neither displayed nor printed.
Keep the LAP-SETUP pressed for at least 2 seconds to enter the Setup.
