You control the foreground and background colors for each lane. Foreground Colours Background Colours 00 Black 0 Black 09 Blue 1 Blue 10 Lime 2 Lime 11 Sky 3 Sky 12 Red 4 Red 13 Purple 5 Purple 14 Yellow 6 Yellow 15 White 7 White 8 Grey Note 4. Leave the Lane Description Field blank for any lane that is not wired on your track. You should assign fg/bg colors however. For two lane tracks, leave the description of Lane 3 blank (ie 59-65) and the description of Lane 4 blank (ie 81-87). For three lane tracks, leave the description of Lane 4 blank. Note 5. HO users (or 1/64th scale) should start with the Delay in Milleseconds field set to ".001" and the Minimum Lap Time set to "02" or else cars may not register. Note 6. Speed Factor (only used in LEMANS and BERNIEas of May15/2000) a. If you don't want to see speed, use "0000" or " " b. If you want to see speed in Miles Per Hour then Speed Factor = (Track Length in Feet x Scale x 3600) / 5280) eg. S.F. = (45.0 feet x 32 x 3600) / 5200 = 981.818 = "0982" (rounded too even number) c. If you want to see speed in Kilometers Per Hour then Speed Factor = (Track Length in Meters x Scale x 3600) / 1000) eg. S.F. = (13.7 meters x 32 x 3600) / 1000 = 1578.24 = "1578" (rounded too even number) d. Speed is determined by dividing the lap time in seconds into the Speed Factor (eg. 982 / 6.000 = 163.666 miles per hour). If you find the scale speed is unrealistically high you can fudge the speed by creating an artificial Speed Factor. If you want your best lap times to be around (say) 120 mph and your best lap times are around 4.750 seconds, then set the Speed Factor to "0570" (ie. 120 x 4.750 = 570). Note 7. External Lights Option Put an "x" in this position if you are using the external start lights option, otherwise leave it blank. This is an advanced option that requires you to have five starting lights wired up to Pins 2-6, plus ground, on your DB25 connector. Activating this option removes start lights from computer screen. Note 8. For Skid Pad Users Only Set Minimum Lap Time to "00" (cols 37, 38) This results in a MLT of .25 seconds Note 9. SPTS Precison Timer Calibration For maximum timer precision, this field needs to be set for DINO and AYRTON programs (all other SMI programs use internal PC timer. Each machine runs at a different clock speed so must be calibrated. To calibrate SPTS for your machine... First, set the calibration field to the approximate value for your computer from the table below. Second, run NEWEY.EXE which compares the SPTS timer against the internal PC Timer over 60 seconds. Due to the inaccuracy of the Internal PC timer, the results may vary by +/-.109 seconds on each run. NEWEY will recommend a new calibration number. Reduce the discrepancy between the SPTS timer and the Internal PC timer. Once your computer has been calibrated, there is no need to recalibrate again unless you switch computers. Calibration Numbers for our machines: 8088/4 mHz uses "000032" (extremely slow machine) 386/20 mHz uses "000400" (very slow machine) 486/33 mHz uses "000800" (slow machine) 486/33 mHz+MathPr uses "009810" (modest machine) Pentium 90 mHz uses "025513" (quick machine) Pentium 166 mHz uses "046000" (fast machine) AMD 450mHz uses "057000" (very fast machine) The faster your processor, the higher this number will be and the greater the precision of the timing. Note 10. Logic Detection Type This field is left blank for Standard PCell Detection Logic. Use "R" for Reverse Detection Logic, but only if you are using Micro Switches or Dead Strips for detection. LEMANS and BERNIE cannot be used with Reverse Detection Logic as refueling requires you to be parked on the sensor. You could eliminate refueling by setting the fuel consumption so low that refueling is not an issue (better to convert to PCells!!!)
