A start/finish line is required within the Lap Timing Mode to calculate lap times. By default, the start/finish line used is detected from the currently selected track based on the GPS location.

Manually Set a Start/Finish Line

You can set a start/finish line manually when moving. This will overwrite the line detected in the circuit layout.

To manually set a start/finish line, tap the screen when on the Basic Lap Timing Screen or select Set Start Gate in the Settings.

A screen will be displayed, giving you 5 seconds to cancel the start/finish line set by pressing on the screen. After the 5 seconds have passed, you need to drive forward in a straight direction to complete the process. The gate is set at 90° to the detected heading and the width depends on what you have selected in the Gate Width Settings.

The detected location when you initially press the screen is used as the centre point of the start/finish gate.

If you are defining a separate Finish Line, the gate set up here will act as the Start Line only.

Notes:

To set a Start/Finish line, the vehicle must be moving >0.8 km/h and the Performance Box Touch must have a satellite lock.
If the setting of the start/finish line is cancelled, any live lap prediction for the current lap will be lost and unavailable for use.

Manually Set a Separate Finish Line

You can set a separate finish line manually when moving. This will overwrite the finish line detected in the circuit layout.

To manually set a finish line, tap the screen when on the Basic Lap Timing Screen if you have enabled Standing Start or select Set Finish Gate in the Settings.

A screen will be displayed, allowing you to cancel the finish line gate set within 5 seconds by repressing the screen. After the 5 seconds have passed, you are required to drive forward in a straight direction to complete the process. The gate is set at 90° to the detected heading and the width depends on what you have selected in the Gate Width Settings.

The detected location when the screen is initially pressed/finish gate set is used as the centre point of the finish gate.

You must set a separate finish line if you are using Standing Start Mode.

If the setting of the start/finish line is cancelled, any live lap prediction for the current lap will be lost and unavailable for use.

Clear the Separate Finish Line

(Only selectable if a Finish gate has been set)

Selecting the Clear Finish Gate option in the Lap Timing Settings will clear the separate Finish line and use the active Start line as a combined Start/Finish line.

You will see a screen informing you that the finish gate is being cleared and giving you 5 seconds to cancel the process by pressing the screen.

When the finish line is cleared, the LEDs will briefly flash green twice and the unit will emit an audible confirmation notification.

Notes:

When the finish gate is cleared, all the existing lap timing values and lap history will be cleared too.
If the finish line clearing is cancelled, any live lap prediction for the current lap may be lost and unavailable for use.

Load Start/Finish or Finish Line Gates

You can load previously saved or provided Start/Finish line gates by inserting an SD card with gate files contained in an SF LINES folder into the unit and pressing the Load Lap Timing Gates button in the Lap Timing Settings.

If the unit can only find one file on the SD card, the file will be loaded immediately.

If multiple files are located on the SD card, the unit will display all available files. Select a file and press the Confirm button at the bottom right of the screen to confirm your selection. Press the Cancel Button at the bottom left of the screen to return to the Settings screen without saving.

When loaded, a success screen will briefly display to show that the file was loaded successfully. If there are splits stored in the file, these will also be uploaded to the unit (up to 10 gates/splits).

Note: When a new Start/Finish or Finish line gate is loaded, all existing lap timing values will be cleared and the new lap timing gates will be used.
