Tachymetric Function
The Tachymetric function enables to measure the speed of an object moving over a known
distance. The base length is indicated on the scale J.The speed per hour readings, indicated by
thescale, are based on an observational distance of 1,000 metres.
Theuser starts thechronograph (buttonF) when thevehicle crosses thestarting markerand
stops itwhen itpasses theend marker(butttonF).The position of thechronograph second hand
on thetachymetricscale corresponds to theaverage speed inkm/h.
E.g.Ifittakes 40 seconds to cover 1,000 m,theaverage speed is 90 km/h.
