2006-10-23 | Race informations in cars
During FFSA series at Magny Cours (October 21, 22), Chronelec installed few displays in Formulas Renault and GT series.
The information transmitted by the existing cables (intermediate loops and main loops) makes it possible to inform in real time the driver about the various events of races according to the traversed sectors. (flag red, yellow, blue, green, black, drive through, stop and go'.)
Using these displays, drivers will be able to also receive messages from the race direction, timekeepers or their team. The messages or orders from race direction are priority. The software makes it possible to select a driver, a group of driver or all drivers.
2006-09-12 | Chronelec signs for 3 years with FFSA
With the impulse of François BERNARD (responsible for regulations) and Christian GUEGUEN (responsible for timing), Chronelec is in relation with FFSA (French Federation of Automobile Sport) since March 2006, in order to propose innovating solutions for timing.
At the end of several tests during FFSA and FR series, a contract was signed for 3 years with FFSA. Chronelec supply intermediate times or speed and the progressive installation of pilots identification system in GT series.
Individual transponders chronelec's will be proposed to the pilots in 2007.
2006-09-12 | Autonomous suitcase for intermediate times
The new autonomous suitcase for intermediate times or speed, especially created for the FFSA, integrate a radio operator modem with 16 channels, 19200 bauds or a broadcast RS485 2 wires (in case of no radio available).
Dimensions of these suitcase are now of 340 X 300 X 150.
The management of all the intermediate loops (secure protocol) is perform by the main decoder equipped with a modem and a broadcast RS485 2 wires.
The clock reference (TCXO oscillator) is in the main decoder which synchronize the distant decoders. This clock can itself be controlled by a receiver GPS.
The radio operator channel used (1 among 16) can be changed directly using the software Elite 2005 via the decoder or automatically when the radio disturbances are too high.
Now, using the keys on the decoder, each intermediate loop can be visualized to know the noise, the level of detection, the transponder number identified, the quality of the radio connection.
