Microgate HiSettings

Features
Read full description

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.
