AT LAST! A time base with TCP/IP comms....

Thank you Santa.

Thank you Santa.

Thank you Santa.

Here at FIS World Cup in Lake Louise, we've been testing a new TAG Heuer timer prototype, the TAG Heuer HL540.

Since laptops are no longer made with serial ports, serial comms have become a dead end, and USB has proven a poor solution for mission-critical timing applications.

After unsuccessfully and repeatedly beating various timing equipment manufacturers over the head for over a decade to add a TCP/IP interface, I was somewhat stunned to find out that TAG Heuer has finally responded with the HL540.

A tip of my hat and a big thumbs-up to Jean Campiche and the design team at TAG Heuer. This prototype will be in production shortly.

Commercial releases of the various flavors of Skunkware already support timer comms via TCP/IP, so full support for the HL540 will precede the product's release to the public.
