Lap Timing
The lap timing feature measures the interval of time between passes of a chosen spot (Start /
Finish Line). It uses both location and heading to determine the exact spot to 1/10th second
accuracy. It is best to set the Start/Finish on the racing line and you must be heading in
approximately the same direction as the reference lap for the timing to work.

The Start/Finish Location is stored on the Display Unit for each track, so once you enter it you
should not have to enter it again unless you delete the track from memory or upgrade your DU
software.
To use the lap timing feature Select “Record Data” from the Main Menu and then Select “Laps”.
