Description: O-Lynx software for interfacing with the O-Lynx radio system for receiving competitor punch information from Sportident timing equipment. The software provides for live results both at events and on the internet. The O-Lynx software is suitable for orienteering and adventure race events.
Automatic Track Recognition To add an automatic track map element, click on the ' Lap Timing' icon from the top panel buttons menu. This will load a lap timing element into the software. This element can be clicked and dragged into the desired location in the scene. The VBOX Video HD2 system will now automatically load a track map image and start/finish line based on detected GPS location – in order to have full control over circuits with multiple layouts present, an OLED display is needed. For more information on using automatic track recognition with an OLED. Note: Auto track map elements cannot be resized as the PNG images for each track are built into the internal firmware.
If multiple tracks are found for the current location and no OLED display is at hand the track map will default to:. The last matching track that user selected previously at that location. The first matching ‘combo’ map (if option 1 is not possible). The first track alphabetically on the list (if option 1 and 2 are not possible). Fixed track maps Fixed track maps are for use in a single location, as the track will not change automatically. Fixed track maps can be resized and have colour settings for fill and outline changed to suit the scene design. To load a fixed track map into the software, untick the ‘ Auto detect’ box.
This will cause a map image to appear in the scene – select the desired map layout from the ‘country’ and ‘circuit’ drop down boxes. Note: For Lap timing to work at another location, the user will have to change the circuit manually and load a new scene into the VBOX Video HD2. To resize a fixed map, click and drag the icon in the bottom right hand corner of the element. Gate width The Gate width option appears if you are not using the start/finish lines from our database. It controls how wide the start/finish line is across the track. The default setting for this is 25 m. When racing at a very narrow circuit where the pit lane is right next to the start line, it could be possible to trigger lap timing within the pit lane.
To change this setting, use the up and down arrow boxes or key in a value. The drawing below shows how the gate width setting affects the start/finish line.
