New Telemetry box and other new accessories here from Slot It:
Code TS01a (above): Telemetry Box_. Playback lap times in real time in the
driver’s earphones. Further it allows to save the lap times and sectors
times independently from the controller used and also to save telemetry
data when connected to a SCP-01 controller. These data can then be
downloaded and reviewed by a special application, Telemetry Box PC
Interface, that can be free downloaded from www.slot.it and installed on
your PC.
PS: all the Telemetry Box will be sold with a default language of audio
playback: English. You can change it using the software application
cited above and choose one of the following languages: Italian, English,
Spanish, German, Portuguese, French and Japanese (downloadable for free
from www.slot.it).
Code TS02a (above): Track Interface._ This system interfaces the Telemetry
Box to the track. Lap sensors and sector sensors presents on the track
are to be connected to the Track Interface (DS bridge, dead band,
Wincrono …). Each Track Interface is able to handle two lanes and for
each one of these lanes, two sensors (example: a lap sensor and a sector
sensor, or two sector sensors). Through the double switch, you can
decide which is the sensor of end lap and the sector one.
Code TS02b (above): Track to Telemetry Cable (sold separately – not currently
available)_. It allows to connect a second Telemetry Box to a Track
Interface (that is able to simultaneously manage two Telemetry Boxes and
in TS02a’s packaging there is only one cable TS02b that allows the use
of a single Telemetry Box).
Code TS03a (above): Sector Time Expansion Cable (sold separately)_. If the
user needs to manage more than one sector sensor for each lane, you need
to connect several Track Interfaces. In particular, each Track Interface
added allows to increase the number of sector sensors managed on each
lane. This cable allows you to combine the output of two Track Interface
together, creating in this way a single output to connect to the Track
To Telemetry cable (TS02b).
