Using the PC-2001 to Function as a Tenths of a Second Timer

Potential Symptoms

  • Can a PC-2001 Pace Clock be used as a count down/up timer capable of tenths of a second?
  • How to time a practice routine/drill of specific duration (i.e. 2.5 seconds) and sound the horn when time has elapsed (similar to a shot clock).
  • PC-2001 Pace Clock (addressable driver).
  • All Sport 5000 (football code: 6601).
  • All Sport 1600 (basketball code: 21).

Environment

  • Product: PC-2001 Pace Clock (addressable driver)
  • Component: Tenths of a second
  • Control System: All Sport 5000 (football code: 6601), All Sport 1600 (basketball code: 21) 

Cause

  • All Sport Segment Timer mode only takes whole integer inputs and does not show tenths of a second.
    • The All Sport Segment Timer mode can only count up and stop at an integer, no tenths of a second.
    • The All Sport PERIOD time can count down, but can only be set to a whole integer, no tenths of a second.

Resolution

  1. To setup a drill with a run time that contains tenths (1/10) of a second, you need to start with the desired run time and count down.
  2. Time will need to be reentered as the Current (CURR) time at the start of each drill.
