If you connect your other devices' start impulse channel (S4, second TIMY, Start horn etc) to the TIMY Channel 0, the TIMY will produce an impulse at the top of the minute IF you press and hold the two OK buttons during the top of the minutes passage.

For an S4 or TIMY
Connect the C0 from the timy to the C0 on the S4 or TIMY or both
Program the S4/TIMY sync time for an upcoming minute
Press and hold the two OK buttons during the top of the minute that you want the sync to occur

Your devices are now in sync.

You can always check the accuracy of the sync by leaving the connections in place and giving all devices a common impulse (from a button push or other) and checking the time stamps. All should be the same. Naturally there will be some drift between the clocks the longer that you wait until this test is performed.

This ONLY works with the master TIMY in BACKUP or PC TIMER mode. This technique can be a great way to start several different devices without having to have a big sync snake of cables.

You can start your syncing with the master TIMY in BACKUP mode. You will then need to use the Menu to change programs to the one you want to use like STOPWATCH.
