           QuickstartInstructionManual6.PDF    file size: 3764K

    The Quickstart Instruction Manual contains "quick start instructions" on how to set up the timer from the package when you receive it.  It includes a description of the Setup Program that comes with every finish line timer and a description of how the timer operates with the race management software programs.  

    The Quickstart Instruction Manual also contains special installation notes for BestTrack Tracks, Piantedosi Tracks, Custom Tracks and Case Arrangements.

  • Space Derby® Manual
           SmartLineSpaceDerbyManual4.pdf   file size: 710K

    The Space Derby® manual provides an easy-to-follow graphical description of the installation of the SmartLine timer sensors, start gate switch and displays. It includes diagrams and descriptions of how to mount the sensors onto your track.  

  • 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.

  • Installation Manual
            SmartLineInstallationManual.pdf   file size: 480K

    The Installation manual provides an easy-to-follow 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.
