Daktronics OmniSport 2000 Timing Console - Manual (Page 208)

190 Track Mode Operation
Check for Unused Lanes
The timer operator should turn off any unused lanes after visually verifying any open lanes
on the track. Press [LANE ON/OFF] for the appropriate lane.
Watch Lane Status LCDs
The operator watches the lane status indicators on the left and middle LCDs to confirm that
all times are recorded.
Always Ready Start
The Always Ready Start feature is based on the fact that the OmniSport 2000 timer has an
internal time-of-day clock that continually runs when the timer is turned on. The internal
clock continues to run even when the race clock has been stopped.
If a start was missed because the timer was not reset (race clock was still running from the
previous race), the start impulse is logged in the memory and on the printer. To prompt the
operator that a start has occurred, reset the timer. If the operator chooses to use the received
start signal, the timer will automatically start timing the event by calculating the correct
running time. Press [EDIT] to retrieve the start impulse used for the last race.
If two independent OmniSport 2000 timers are being used in parallel for an especially critical
application and one timer misses a start impulse completely because of a technical problem, a
start time may be manually entered when read from the printout of the other timer.
Example: Editing a Start - If a start is missed because the timer was not reset before the start:
 The time-of-day of the start impulse will be logged on the printer.
 The OmniSport will inform the operator of the start after the timer is reset.
Procedure:
1. To reset the timer:
a. Press [RESET], then [ENTER].
b. The following message displays on the screen:
c. Accept the missed start by pressing [ENTER] and the timer will start from the
missed start time. If the missed start is to be ignored, simply press the [CLEAR]
key and the timer will be reset only.
2. If the start time was not on the LCD, use the Edit-Start menu:
a. With the timer reset, press [EDIT]. This reveals the Edit-Start menu and puts the
time-of-day of the last start impulse on the LCD.
b. Confirm that the time-of-day shown on the LCD is the correct time for the start of
the race. The start time may be edited using the number keys.
c. Press [ENTER]. This completes the editing operation. The race clock will start
and the running time will be correct based on the entered start time.
