Computer issues during Raceday
Hi All,
Just an explanation of the two hold ups we had yesterday at the track with the timing system. First Russell’s transponder was not working correctly in the first race due to the fact that he had the wrong transponder which was quickly rectified. The other issue we had was with 3 karts sitting over the transponder aerial for a couple of minutes between races, the system kept reading there transponder which built up into a queue of transponders waiting to be processed. A because there was so many readings it will except the transponder every 5 seconds (from memory) it took awhile to clear all of the backlog readings once we had worked out what was wrong. We will be looking at processes to ensure this does not happen in the future.
Cheers
Richard
Hi Richard,
I don't think Microsoft Mary's voice is deep enough for "Roll away from the start line". I am pleased the new laptop is working better & from a software engineer at least the buffer didn't overflow and crash the PC – even if it took a while to process. :-)
