Alpenhunde vs Microgate HiSettings

The Alpenhunde Timing® timing system is quick and easy to install. It is very intuitive to use and optimized for the specific requirements of ski racing. The newly developed radio technology enables a special remote network that works reliably even over long distances. Each timing station (start, intermediate, finish, and pocket device) opens a Wi-Fi hotspot that athletes and coaches can easily log into - either via the Alpenhunde smartphone app or any standard web browser. The system can be conveniently controlled and read out from any station via the special remote network! The app offers full control over the device, all functions, stored data, and recorded times. All times must be marked with the athletes' names before the start, during the race, or afterwards. The times recorded with the athletes' names are clearly displayed and, if desired, can be conveniently exported and shared immediately. At the same time, the results can be displayed, sorted, and evaluated as desired via a live data connection in Microsoft Excel®. This makes timekeeping a breeze!

HiSettings is a Microgate App that allows configuration via Bluetooth connection of all devices in the HiFamily such as HiLink radios, HiSens photocells, the HiClock start light and the LinkPod Radio hub. Changes can apply to individual devices or groups of devices (e.g. frequency change or GroupID) HiLink - radios As far as HiLink radios are concerned, for the radio parameters it is possible to change the Frequency and GroupID, for the operating parameters it is possible to define the type of use (radio, receiver, timer, ...), the logical meaning of the signals received on the ports (Start, Stop, Lap1...), whether or not to enable HiSmart reception (and with what reception distance). Finally, it can be defined whether the device should be GPS synchronized or not (in single mode or with continuous synchronization). HiSens - photocell This device is not equipped with a display, so, besides using the ReiPro and RTPro stopwatches, the HiSettings App is the only alternative for configuration. In addition to the parameters described above, the photocell configuration can be used to set the operating mode (single or opposed TX or RX), dead time and special sensitivity options. HiClock - start traffic light For the start traffic light, it is possible to choose the operating mode (Countdown or Display), the parameters of the connection to the device (Bluetooth or WiFi), the type of sequence, the display mode, the possibility or not of displaying the time of day and the colours of the lettering. In command mode, it is also possible to control the display board directly from a mobile phone, activating or interrupting a sequence and to control other useful functions. LinkPod Radio - HUB radio This device, which allows pulses to be transmitted from up to 12 separate lines, can be programmed by changing the frequency and ID, the type of each line, and GPS synchronization modes.
