3 Program PC-Timer
The Timy with program PC-Timer is a very strong combination together with a PC. The Timy
does the exact time keeping and transfers the this to the PC. The PC does only data
processing.
The program PC-Timer has a RS 232 output of the running time every 1/10 second. If the
Timy receives an timing impulse it outputs such data between the running time strings.
The impulse string includes time of day, a ID-number (continuous or input), and timing
channel information.
Otherwise the Timy works as in program Backup.
