1Installation
Start by setting up the trampolines. Place the force plates under the trampoline as shown in the picture. Ensure
the correct numbering of the plates: the plate labeled with number 1 is in the left corner close to the judges’ tab-
le. The other plates are positioned clockwise around the trampoline. Use only correct adapters depending on the
trampoline (either Ultimate or Premium).
The cable ports face inward.
Assembly instructions
Connect force plates 1 and 2 (3 and 4 respectively) with a blue ethernet cable using the inner ports. Connect
force plates 2 and 3 with a green ethernet cable using the outer ports. Make sure to lead the cables around the
pins as shown in the picture to prevent damage

Eurotramp - Trampoline Kurt Hack GmbH
2Overview of Competition Floor
Connect force plate 1 (outer port) with a long ethernet cable (max. 30m) to the USB box. The trampoline facing
the judges is using port 1, the second trampoline is connected to port 2. Connect the USB box with the laptop
using the USB cable.
NOTE:
• Install the cables under butt connectors (trip
hazard and risk of damage);
• Fix USB-Box to the table or on the ground;
• Protect Ethernet-cables between trampoline and
judge’s table (for example: lay under mats and
ooring).

NOTE: This User Guide is especially for Qira V2.0.x. Some features may be similar in other versions.
The newest Version of Qira can be downloaded at www.eurotramp.com/de-en/products/accessories/hdts/product-downloads
• Connect Eurotramp ash-drive
• Start Installer by double-clicking the setup le
(setupQiraV2.0.x.exe).
• Generate a desktop icon.
The setup of the HDTS system is complete. Make sure to select the correct trampoline brand and model in the
Settings menu. If the trampoline you are using is not listed, enter the distances between midpoints of the oor
protection of your trampoline.
Finally, continue with the self test to ensure the system’s function.

Self Diagnosis
Go to „Help” on the toolbar to open Self Diagnosis.
Self Diagnosis shows the status of the connected hardware. In this example Qira receives measures from each
forceplate of trampoline 1 and no values from trampoline 2. In this state the system is ready to record routines on
trampoline 1.
Use for initial System-check and troubleshooting.

Right-Click in the window and click show details to present pressure-values (P), tara-values (T)
and net-values (N =P-T) for each forceplate.
Program interface

The application is structured in four major areas:
1 Current state
2Conguration
3 Competition organization
4 Results

9
Eurotramp - Trampoline Kurt Hack GmbH
The conguration area has a button to calibrate the system (TARA). The system should be calibrated once after
setting up the system and with no additional weight on the trampolines. Afterwards, the software measures its
state independently and adjusts the calibration if needed.
Furthermore, the conguration area can be used to select the trampoline to use for measurements as well as the
athlete´s weight class. It is recommended to use the automatic detection of both parameters.
The current state during normal operation mirrors the phases of a trampoline routine:
• Measuring can be started in the state READY – the athlete has not yet started.
• The athlete gains height before showing his routine in the state START.
• The software measures and evaluates horizontal displacement as well as time-of-ight or synchrony in the
state ROUTINE.
• The REVIEW state is intended for checking and approving results.
Press space to iterate between the four states.

10
Eurotramp - Trampoline Kurt Hack GmbH
The state READY signals that the software is ready to start a measurement. The transition to the state START is
executed as soon as the athlete gets a signal from the chair of the judges’ panel to start the routine.
The athlete gains height before the actual routine in the state START.
Multiple pieces of information are shown in this state. A clock shows the time spent before the athlete starts the
routine (1). A chart shows current force values of the force plates – a landing in the trampoline should lead to a
spike in the chart (2). The trampolines in the application show which trampoline is currently used for the measure-
ments. The automatic trampoline detection takes up to ve seconds to switch the active trampoline.
The transition to the next state is initiated by pressing the spacebar as soon as the athlete shows the rst ele-
ment of the routine.

11
Eurotramp - Trampoline Kurt Hack GmbH
The athlete performs his routine in state ROUTINE. The landings are recorded in the table during the routine
(1). Additionally, the landing positions are shown in the trampoline (2). The measurement is ended after the last
landing or when the athlete interrupts the routine by pressing the spacebar. The software prevents routines with
more than ten elements, hence it is not possible to inadvertently end the routine „too late”.
After the routine, the results are presented in an overview in the state REVIEW. It is possible to go back to the
detailed result view by pressing the D key on the keyboard or by clicking the corresponding item in the action bar
(1). Furthermore, it is possible to shorten or lengthen a routine by pressing the up and down arrow keys (2). It is
possible to shift the whole measurement, should it not be aligned correctly to the athlete’s routine (e.g., if it was
started too late). This is done with the left and right arrow keys (3). When all results are correct, they can be con-
rmed by pressing the spacebar (4). Conrmed results can be shown on a second screen in a separate window
and are stored (if congured). Should the results be wrong, they can be dismissed by clicking the button or by
pressing the X key (5). Either conrming or dismissing the results leads to a transition to the READY state.
All necessary steps to measure a routine are covered. The next chapters describe advanced functions like con-
gurations, save-modes and structuring a competition.
