Settings

← User Manual

Hold → SETUP → DEVICE SETTINGS. Each setting is its own screen: swipe to the one you want, tap to open it, tap a value to apply it. Changes are saved immediately and survive a power cycle.

The twelve settings

They appear in this order.

Setting Values What it does
SESSION 1:00 to 24:00:00, on a roller How long a session runs
REST up to 24:00:00, on a roller The countdown between sessions
AVERAGE LAP up to 59:59, on a roller Your typical lap, used to estimate laps remaining
LOWER FIELD ELAPSED / LAPS LEFT What sits under the session countdown
LAP LINE START / FINISH Which line closes a lap on circuits where they differ
PIT ENTRY STOP OFF / ON Ends the session automatically when you enter the pits
LAUNCH 0.15 G to 1.00 G How hard an acceleration counts as a launch, for the IMU trigger
DAY BRIGHT 25 / 50 / 75 / 100% Screen brightness in daylight
NIGHT BRIGHT 25 / 50 / 75 / 100% Screen brightness in the dark
AUTO DIM OFF / ON Dims the screen when the car is stationary
ORIENTATION 0 / 90 / 180 / 270 / AUTO Which way up the display sits
0-X TARGET 30 / 40 / 50 / 60 / 70 / 100 mph The speed a 0-X run is timed to

The three time settings

SESSION, REST and AVERAGE LAP are set on a two-column roller rather than chosen from a list, because no sensible list could cover a range reaching 59:59 — an earlier curated ladder stopped at 3:00 and could not reach most real lap times.

On the roller: swipe up and down to change a column, left and right to move between minutes and seconds, and press and hold to save. A tap does nothing, so a stray press cannot commit a half-rolled value.

Notes on individual settings

LOWER FIELD — LAPS LEFT needs an AVERAGE LAP to work from. Set that first, or the field has nothing to estimate with.

LAP LINE — most circuits put start and finish in the same place, and on those this changes nothing. It matters where the two differ.

LAUNCH — this is only consulted when TRIGGER is set to IMU. The threshold is always a real value; the trigger setting is what decides whether anything reads it. Lower values trigger more easily; raise it if the session starts over kerbs or bumps.

DAY BRIGHT / NIGHT BRIGHT — two presets, not a schedule. The device picks between them.

AUTO DIM — dims while stationary to save the panel and your night vision in the pits.

ORIENTATION — fix it to one of the four rotations, or AUTO to let the motion sensor decide. Fix it if the mount puts the device at an angle that confuses automatic selection.

A shortcut to the 0-X target

0-X TARGET has its own entry one level up: hold -> SETUP -> 0-X TARGET opens the speed list directly, rather than making you swipe through twelve settings to reach the one you came for. It is the same setting either way - set it in whichever place you find first.

Settings that are not here

These are set from the top-level menu rather than from DEVICE SETTINGS, because each is a single choice rather than a value:

  • Mode — hold → MODE
  • Track — hold → TRACK
  • Trigger — hold → TRIGGER

If settings revert

Settings are stored with a checksum. If the record cannot be read back cleanly the whole record is discarded and every setting returns to its default — a partial record is not trusted, because a half-correct setting is worse than a known one.

If settings revert repeatedly, that is worth reporting rather than living with.
