8 OPTIONAL PARTS
8.1 GPS TIMEsync
The GPS TIMEsync adds a valid GPS timestamp to an incoming starting impulse (i.e. starting signal of a race). The
resulting information is forwarded to both application notebooks via Ethernet (standard solution) or via USB.
Since the device must acquire a GPS signal, it has to be installed in a location with a free sight to the sky (e.g.
near a window in the operational room).
