Command Manual
SmartLineCommandManual.pdf file
size: 213K
The Command manual contains more than just a list of the commands. It contains an overview of the
features, detailed description of setting up and
connecting the timer, a description of the Setup
Program (LINESETUP2.EXE) that is supplied with every timer, and a list of all the commands.
These commands
are supplied only for those who intend to write
or interface to their own software and will generally not be necessary
for most users. The "Setup Program"
that comes with every finish line timer is a
windows based program that allows you to set any
parameter in the timer without having to know
the commands. Refer to the Setup
Program's screen shot.

graphical description of the installation of the
SmartLine timer sensors into a Pinewood Derby® track. It includes diagrams and
descriptions of how to drill the holes and insert the sensors into
your track.
We recommend that you have the holes pre-drilled by the track manufacturer if you are buying a new track. We will supply
a standard 3.5" center to center lane timer
with mount for BestTrack or Piantedosi tracks.

In the past we have sold another type of USB to Serial converter. If your
converter does not look like the ones above, you may need the following driver. There is no picture available.
This may not be the correct driver if you did not purchase the converter from us. You could always try this one or the most current one if you are unsure.
I think that there are only a few types in different packaging.
