The Display: Big, Bold and a Thing
of Beauty
The advanced
pixel-based display uses fonts
visible with 20/20 vision at 40
feet. Combined with a display angle
of +/- 45 degrees, and you've got a
display that cannot be missed - no
matter how fast you're going.
Your choice of
color: high contrast green LCD or
brilliant blue backlight. The high
luminosity blue display will
astonish you with its brilliance and
clarity (requires 12V power).

One
benefit of the segment
system is to help teams
better analyze bike set-up
and make competitive
adjustments by isolating
distinct sections of a race
track. For example, a team
can determine how its rider
is doing specifically in the
whoop section compared to
other riders.
“From
an informational standpoint,
segment times are an
accurate way to determine a
rider’s specific strengths
and whether or not
adjustments are needed.”
--Conrad Young, AMA
Supercross/Motocross Timing
and Scoring Manager.

Split
Personality
When used with
dedicated optical beacons, you can
have up to 5 split times
(segments). By dividing the track
into segments, you can analyze
performace through certain sections
to optimize bike set up and driving
techniques. The split times will
tell you which section -
straightaway, curves, whoops, etc -
is slowing you down the most so you
can improve it. By using the TG
track split times as you practice,
you'll be able to directly compare
your race data.
The MyChron Light
TG lap timer manages split times in
three ways: Accumulative, Variation,
and Sector. Accumulative Split Time
shows the total time elapsed at the
split. Variation Split Time shows
the difference (variation) between
the current split time and the
previous split time, so you can see
how you are progressing through that
segment. Sector Split Time shows
shows the time for each split
(sector) as you go.

more about how this works.
Session Modes
Choose the
session mode that fits: Lap, Qualify
or Race Mode. The default mode is
Lap, which shows an incremental lap
counter. Qualify mode displays the
remaining time until the end of the
session. Race mode shows how many
laps remain in the race.
Now You
See Them - Now You Don't
Smart menus and
button labels change as needed for
ease of use. Our design and
usability experts have spent
hundreds of hours studying and
designing display layouts to ensure
drivers have just what they need,
and nothing more to clutter things
up.
Make it
Your Own
A pixel-based
display means you can customize the
display however you like, including
the display of custom graphics,
logos and images. The 128 x 64 pixel
display is 2.4" x 1.3" (61 x 31
mm). Upload your team logo to
display every time the Light TG lap
timer starts up.
Dissection 101
Drop the scalpel
and grab some more throttle. Preset
soft button configurations (smart
buttons) provide easy access to
custom views and options in a hurry.
Lap Times Leveraged
The TG Lap Timer
includes an integrated Clock and
Calendar that puts an indelible time
and date stamp on every lap of every
session, so you have a solid
performance data archive. You also
attach a track names to laps.
Compare lap times on the same track
from month to month, year to year.
Data Review
With 128 kb of
memory, the TG lap timer can store
up to 1200 laps in memory. The TG's
non-volatile memory retains data in
memory even when the power is off.
Review your data on screen or within
our Light Analyzer software
(optional). A powerful internal
database manages laps and can store
up to 50 track names. Onscreen
display review items include: best
laps, time and date, Best of the
Best, Theoretical Best and Best
Rolling. Display modes include table
and histogram.
USB Download
The optional USB
(300 kb/s) cable allows you to
download the data from the TG lap
timer to your PC for archiving and
analysis with our Light Analyzer
software. The USB connection also
allows you upload firmware upgrades
from your PC to the TG.
Download the product manual to learn
more about how this works.
Safe and Secure
The TG has a
generous 128 kb of non-volatile
memory, enough for 2000 laps.
Non-volatile memory means your data
is saved even when the batteries are
out. Use track subdirectories to
organize your laps and get to them
quickly. Internal power comes from
included "coin" batteries at 6V, or
from external 12V power.
What Do I Get?
The MyChron Light
TG lap timer comes with the display,
IR sensor/receiver, and IR
beacon/transmitter. The kit is ready
for race day whether you are racing
super moto, road course motorcycles,
oval cars or road course autos. An
optional download kit with USB
download cable and Light Analyzer
software is available.
Unlike other
systems that have an extra button on
the handlebars that you press each
lap, the TG reads an optic
(infra-red) beacon placed at the
side of the track for a consistent
and accurate timing every time. Use
additional beacons around the track
to mark your segments. The IR
beacons share a common frequency,
enabling racers to share a set of
beacons on the track for easy
comparison. Unlike embedded magnetic
strips, the IR beacons are compact
and portable.
Need More Power?
The
MyChron Light TG Log adds on a
full data logger with 8 MB of memory
and four input channels: RPM, temp,
speed and throttle. |
