Installation :
No installation required, Chronotask is an .exe flash based application.
For proper operation and avoid any drift in time, the computer should
be reserved only for that application and the softwares or unnecessary
services disabled, especially for the older generation of computers.
Features :
Chronotak is based on perpetual loops always organized as follows:
- 2 minutes preparation time followed by the working time and then,
30 seconds landing window.
- 3 minutes before the end of the flight time, a visual warning allows
the contest director to call the next group (FAI rules).
A loop cannot be put "on hold" but can be interrupted by
two methods:
- The "cancel" button, when false start, begin a 30 seconds
landing window with an apropriate sound message, then goes to the main
page.
- By the "home" button > stop all and return to the main page.
Case "last down" task :
This task is not subject to the same logic and the start is obtained
by clicking the button "start" which starts a loop of one minute
preparation time followed by 3 minutes of flight and 30 'landing window.
If the competitors are all down before the end of the loop, a click
on the button " stop & next " puts the loop in the beginning,
waiting for a new start.
Sounds events accuracy :
- The sounds have priority on the display.
- The beginnings and ends of sequences are aligned in the middle of the
O of "zerO", the different sound events are already in start
limit of the next round.
These sounds events are sampled on the first page to help the contest
director during the briefing.
Chronotask is free, any modification is prohibited without the
consent of the author.
