Question:
We have a Ski Pro 3000 timing system and we tested it at the beginning of the year on our two laptops (Win98 & WinXP) and it worked fine. Now we are not getting a signal. We have a Tag Heuer system that does work with these laptops fine. We called the TimeTech guys and they said bad port driver, turn off firewall or there was an OS change. None of these are a factor. No OS change, firewall is off and the Nastar works with the Tag Heuer so I don't think it's port. Does anyone have any other directions we can go in before we ship the system to them?

Choices:
Not sure.

 

The only logical thing to do is to send it back to Time Tech and have them test it. They can download
Split Second and see if it works there.

You want want to take a look at your port settings before sending it back. Specially the baud rate. You can also try using Hyper terminal to monitor you port while you try to send info from the timer. If you can't see anything the problem is with the timer or the port itself and if you see something at all then your settings are wrong
