Hi All,
For those who can get the signal from the s129/s149 i have found "CPS plus" a great program to convert seiko language to pc. for those whishing to use photocells i use "omron" units which are good for around 30feet. all i did was soilder into the back of the plug with fine wire to an RCA plug.
Now you have a fully automated data collection and processing system that only needs the entrants number to be entered.
Can also help with a very hand excel based program that will have results within minutes of the last competitor completing the day.
please feel free to ask any questions.
PS been useing system last 12 months.
