8.6. Robitronic

The Robitronic Lap Counter is an IR based lap counting system. Each transponder has a 2 byte UID that the software will use. When using the Robitronic Lap Counter the software will use the lap times sent by the lap counter instead of the internal software timer. The Robitronic hardware has a delay when sending detected racer information so you will notice a delay in the software for the detection beep and announcements compared to when you cross under the bridge.

Since the Robitronic Lap Counter sends lap timing information accurate to 0.001 seconds the automatic accuracy setting defined on the General Config screen will use 0.001 second resolution if the hardware type is set to Robitronic.

The ability to pause a race is disabled when using the Robitronic Lap Counter. The pause functionality is dependent on the software lap timer but when utilizing Robitronic hardware we use the hardware time provided by the lap counter to get the 0.001 second resolution. As a result pausing is not supported.
