CHA TER 5 SOLO 2
Solo 2 built in GPS receiver is used for:
n Lap time calculation
n Speed calculation
n Predictive lap time calculation
n Position on the track in Analysis.
To calculate these data the system needs to know the Start/Finish line coordinates.
Solo 2 comes with a long list of the world main tracks, list that is constantly updated
by our technicians and is automatically upgraded your PC when you run our Race
Studio3 software and an Internet connection is available.
Solo 2 provides two track selection modes: automatic and manual.
Automatic:
Solo 2 automatically recognizes the track
you are running on, loads start/finish line
and calculates lap times. This is the best
mode in most cases.
Manual:
allows you to manually select the track
from the internal database.
This mode is to be preferred when multi-
ple track configurations are available ne-
arby. In this case Solo 2 would anyway
recognize the track but would need at
least one complete track lap.
To be ready from the first lap manual
mode would be helpful.
5.2 Track management
If you are running in a track NOT included in Solo 2 database the device switches to
“learning” mode and behave this way:
n it starts sampling all track points
n when detects that it is crossing the same points for the second time it realizes that
the track is closed and sets a temporary start/finish line showing lap time each time
it crosses that point;
n at the end of the session the system shows the track map with start/finish line: you
can move start/finish line using Solo 2 bottom buttons;
n you can add this new map to Solo 2 database, modify start/finish line coordinates,
name the track and transmit it to the PC at first PC-Solo 2 connection
