See the tech tip. Dr. Norbert Sander, who used to run on the old wooden floor himself, has spearheaded the fund-raising to first put the Armory back in business as a center for NYC athletics. William Randazzo of Pacific Rim Racing sent us details of one of his recent FinishLynx installations at a horse racing venue. The track timing system uses optical fibers to link the sectional photobeams to a command center, from where the information is passed to the FinishLynx system. Synchronizes and displays EtherLynx generated winner's final time at the finish line.
Fiber optics deliver total protection of control circuits from devastating lightning strikes.
Each branch circuit has individual circuit protection for additional sensor protection. A long-time Mac FinishLynx customer wrote and asked us if the Auto Capture feature described on page three of this newsletter would be available any time soon for the Mac platform. So, until we have an EtherNet version for the Mac, your wishes will not be fulfilled. Pray for a revival of the platform when MacOS-X hits. We did 10 regular season meets, Easterns, and the State A meet at Bates.
