Ultra-Lap is your partner in performance, combining the latest technology with the racing knowledge you need to gain competitive advantage.

MIT and Georgia Tech-trained engineers collaborated on the development of Ultra-Lap. Active design participation and testing by racers such as yourself ensure that Ultra-Lap offers the specialized features that you've been looking for in a better, more intelligent lap timer. More features and fewer headaches make Ultra-Lap your electronic "coach in a box."

What's new?

	Support for true split times — multiple transmitters may be placed around the track and intermediate times within each lap will be recorded. Our transmitter has an additional switch that selects between "start/finish" and "split" — you set up one transmitter in the start/finish mode and any number of other transmitters around the track in split mode. The Ultra-Lap can tell the difference between the two because a different frequency of infrared pulsing is used. The "start/finish" frequency will still be compatible with AIM devices. The "split" frequency will not trigger the AIM devices. Note: The transmitters have to be at least 2 seconds apart for split times to work. If others are running split times at the track and you do not want to, you can disable split times on your receiver and still receive normal lap times.
	-Much thinner receiver (the box with the display) — .7" thick as opposed to 1.15" thick.
	-All enclosures (I/R receiver, transmitter, and USB download, in addition to main receiver) are machined billet aluminum and powder coated. This new finish is much tougher and abrasion resistant.
	-Records ambient temperature for each session.
	-Tracks may be picked from a list so you don't have to re-enter a track name when you are switching from one track -to another. Saves on tedious data entry.
	-Displays average lap time for each session, as well as best and worst lap time.
	-Lower power consumption for longer battery life. Uses one AA battery instead of two AAA batteries.
	-Improved infrared sensitivity.
	-USB download module as opposed to RS-232. Self-powered by the USB module so it does not require the bulky power transformer. -You can transfer all lap times by the IR receiver port to USB/IR cable from the computer. No cables to hook up to the system. I personally will be working on Pocket PC support (HP Ipaq).

-Store approximately 2,000 laps/split times — for many, a full season of racing

-Each stored lap contains the following information:

	Time of the lap, accurate to 1/100 second
	Date and time of the lap
	The track (or other identification) of the lap
	A unique session identifier (to differentiate each race or practice session)
	An * indication if was the best lap of that session -The session summery screen displays the following information: Date and time of session Best lap Slowest lap Average lap (based on total laps with the option not factor in first lap (warm-up lap) Track temp (YES... TRACK TEMP)

	-Laps per race/session: 1-99 or do not count (lap countdown)
	-Minimum lap time: 1-250 seconds
	-Lap hold time (time the lap display is frozen at the end of a lap): 1-250 seconds
	-Display contrast/brightness setting: 31 levels
	-Enter name of track or other identification (stored with each lap): up to 12 characters
	-Option to display, at end of race, the first lap of session, the last lap of session or the fastest lap of session
	-Enable or disable the red flashing LED
	-Auto turn-off time: 1-30 minutes (user programmable)
	-Enable or disable the auto-turn-on feature
	-Easily set the current date and time
	-Enter 1 or 2 lines of personalization information: up to 20 characters per line
	-Quick deletion of all stored laps

This information shows up on the main screen so if the unit is misplaced, its owner can be identified

-Main screen shows date and time with CURRENT TEMP!

-Main screen has a battery level indicator that shows when the batteries need to be replaced

-Uses 1 readily-available inexpensive AA battery

-Ability to download all lap data to a PC using the optional download module. Includes software to organize, store and graph lap data.
