The “Race Control” button is used to control the activation of the sequence leading to the activation of the tree. The available options are NOT READY and READY. An additional status of Race Started becomes active once the auto start timer expires and the tree is activated. The hot key assigned to this function is “F5”.
This button is the main control mechanism for the timing system. Once the button reaches the Race Started status it can’t be clicked until either the system status reaches “display results” or the “Reset Tree” button is clicked, completely resetting the system back to a default state.
