Start / Finish Lines and Splits

Before you can carry out any lap time analysis you must set a start / finish line in the file you have

loaded. The information pertaining to these points can be saved to start / finish files for later use

with new data from the same circuit, or for sharing with other DriftBox users.

Defining start / finish lines and splits in the DriftBox software

To define a start / finish line, move the cursor in the Graph window to the desired point, then press

the to mark a start / finish point, or press the Set Start / Finish button in the Toolbar.

When the cursor is moved in the

Graph window the cursor in the

Map window follows this movement

so you can see where the cursor

point relates to on the track. After

setting a start / finish line a green

dot will then appear in the Map

window at the corresponding

cursor position.

In addition to the start / finish, up to

20 split points can also be set in

the software. However if you save

the start / finish and splits to a file

for use in a DriftBox only the first

six will be saved and used by the

DriftBox. To ensure that only the

maximum amount of splits that can

be accepted by the DriftBox are

created, an option to set this

maximum is in the „Start, Finish &

Splits‟ menu.

To define the split points, press the „S‟ key at the desired cursor location or select the „Set Split‟

option from the „Start / Finish & Splits‟ drop down menu.

A separate finish line can be placed when the start line is not

also the finish line. This is used in situations such as hill climbs,

or for data analysis along a stretch of track that does not end

where it starts - such as “Bridge to Gantry” at the Nordschleife

in Germany.

Create a finish line by holding the + at the

desired cursor location or by selecting the „Set finish‟ button

from the „start / finish & splits‟ menu.

Note: It is important to try to place the start / finish line at a fast

part of the circuit to reduce the effects of positional error and to

get the best lap timing accuracy.
