ALGE-Timing Comet User guide

  • Hello, I am your assistant. I have reviewed the user manual for the Comet Paralleldisplay. This device connects to ALGE timing devices, displays data from various timing modes including speed measurements, and can store up to 950 times in memory. I'm ready to answer any questions you might have about its setup and functionality.
  • How do I connect the Comet to an ALGE timing device?
    How do I clear the memory of the Comet?
    What kind of data can the Comet display?

The Comet with the Paralleldisplay software can be connected with the RS 232c interface of any
ALGE timing device. The Paralleldisplay shows all the data, which are sent by the timing device.
After turning the Comet on, select the timing device that delivers the data:
If you use the TdC 4000 as timing device press key "Y", other-
wise key "N"
If you use the Timer S3 as timing device press key "N", other-
wise key "N"
If you use the Timer S4 as timing device press key "N", other-
wise key "N"
If you use the Selftimer SF2 as timing device press key "N",
otherwise key "N"
If you do not know which ALGE timing device is in use, press
key "Y", if timing is done with the TdC 4000 or Timer S3 press
key "N"
