Basic Computer Interface with
No Software Required
Our timers can be run with or without a computer. A computer is not required, however it can give you added functionality and more information.
For instance, depending on the timer you use, the finish line display may show the order of finish. But if you use the computer, you will receive the times for all lanes as well. See the Support and the Frequently Asked Questions section for more details about how the timers work.
You can use your computer without any additional software required by interfacing our product to a PC via a cable and using a terminal program on the PC such as "Hyper Terminal". Hyper Terminal is normally included with all PCs running Windows.
Race Management Software
Our products, including the TURBO Timer, are compatible with the two main Race Management Software Programs on the market!! Also, we can package either of these two programs with our products so you save on shipping costs when ordering everything from us. We strongly advise you to research each of these programs separately so that you can make a well-informed decision regarding the best software for your application.
