6.3 – “Online” status (or mode)
When SmartyCam is switched on, three options appear:
• Rec
• Off
• Menu
starts recording process (see paragraph 6.5)
switches off the camera (see paragraph 6.2)
enters SmartyCam menu
Under SmartyCam framing an information line appears; it shows in loop:
• used GPS (EGPS for external GPS and IGPS for internal GPS), with number of
linked satellites, signal value and level (good, weak, research);
• used track, to say track name if one only track is found or if two laps have been run
on the track; “track found” in case more tracks are available in a 5 km radius
(paragraph 6.4.2.3), track #XX with the ID number in case the used track has been
manually fixed (paragraph 6.4.2.3).
6.4 – SmartyCam “MENU”
Clicking “MENU” a new page appears, showing (in loop) the following options:
PLAYER
Manages recorded videos: “Down” scrolls the list of videos and
“Sel” selects the desired video. Once a video selected, it is
possible to view it (“Play”) or cancel it (“Del”).
GPS STATUS
Shows the GPS signal level and the linked satellites. The page
heading shows which GPS is actually in use: IGPS (internal GPS)
or EGPS (external GPS). Under the histogram is the information
line explained at paragraph 6.3.
SETTINGS
User can set several key parameters (see paragraph 6.4.2).
LAP MNGMT
Shows the geographic coordinates of the place where the camera
is now and allows to fix the GPS lap beacon (pressing “Fix”) if in
standalone mode: once a point is fixed, every time SmartyCam
will pass that point, a lap time is registered (paragraph 6.4.1). On
bottom of this page is the information line (paragraph 6.3)
DASH
Info page: shows the data sampled by the camera (if standalone)
or, if slave, by the logger / Bridge/ ECU.
On the top of this page, the functions “Down” (to scroll the options), “Exit” (to go back to
the previous page) and “Sel” (to select the desired option) appear.
6.4.1 – “LAP MANAGEMENT” option
This page shows SmartyCam actual position and allows to fix the GPS lap beacon if in
standalone mode. Fixing a new GPS lap beacon SmartyCam adds a new track to these
already loaded and identifies it with a progressive number.
Warning: in slave mode beacon is managed by the master (logger or Bridge also using an
AIM display) and this page can just show Smartycam actual position.
