ALGE D-LINE with XBEE RF modem

Do the radio modems work with Split Second club software?

Good question.  I do not know.  We never used Split Second - only SkiAlp-Pro.  But I will try to see if they work with Split Second.  Thanks for the suggestion.

I downloaded Split Second. I have never used it before.  Unfortunately, I cannot get it work: it does not seem to recognize either the timer (ALGE TIMY3) or the display board.  At this point I am not even using wireless, I simply connect the laptop to the TIMY3 and to the display board with cables.  To be clear, I tried to follow those steps that appear on the "Setup and Test Timing" page under "Timy3 Quickstart Guide".  If I understood it properly, it guided me through installing a device driver for the TIMY3.  (I just hope that installation did not mess up something that will prevent me to use the TIMY3 with the VOLA software properly, something which was working before.)  However, even after these steps, Split Second just does not communicate with the TIMY (nor with the display board).  I realize the question was whether the radio modems work with Split Second - but I cannot answer that before I get Split Second to work, which does not appear to be the case.

So you are saying the modules connect to each other and have comunication via the signal path PSC-->TX-->RX (and back to the PC)? Is it possible (or have you?) to connect a second PC to the RX and have another instance of X-CTU monitoring that data get through? If this is positive, start with the VOLA-SW pushing out data and see if RX still receives. My guess is you are missing a link in the serial path.

Matthias: Yes, it is possible to push out a signal via PC -> TX -> RX, and back to the PC.  I can see this happening in the X-CTU tool.  I have not tried to connect a second PC to the RX (for the simple reason that I don't have a second cable with a DB9 and a USB ending).  You were saying "start with the VOLA-SW pushing out data" - what is the SW you are referring to?  If you are referring to SkiAlp-Pro, I tried that, by generating an impulse to the TIMY (which is connected to the PC). Under a cable connection, that impulse goes to the display, but it doesn't go when the connection is through these modems.

Strange. It should work like you described. I meant your SkiAlp Pro so everythingt is ok.
Could you sniff on the COM-port with wireshark or alike? Just to compare if it gives the same output hardwired and via TX/RX.
