1)
GPS RECEIVER AND
ANTENNA BUILT IN THE
INSTRUMENT:
the Athon
shock-proof ABS body
accommodates the
5Hz. GPS receiver
and the relative
antenna. This
solution can make it
really handy and
simple, not
requiring the
installation of any
additional detail on
the vehicle.
2) YOU
CAN SAY GOOD-BYE TO
ALL UNPRACTICAL
INFRARED
TRANSMITTERS
ARRANGED ON THE PIT
WALL:
the use of the
GPS system intended
to detect the lap
time will make ATHON
completely
autonomous,
requiring no beacon
transmitters, such
as the infrared ones
used by
old-generation
systems.
Everything is
getting much
simpler. It is no
longer necessary to
arrange the
transmitter and to
recharge the
battery, which is
extremely annoying
and unpractical,
with the risk of
forgetting it on the
wall or having it
stolen.
3)
MANAGEMENT OF THE
FINISH LINE AND 3
INTERMEDIATES:
just press one key
to set up the
coordinates of 4
finish lines (main
finish line + 3
optional
intermediates)
during the first
lap. Whenever you
cross a finish line
or an intermediate,
ATHON will indicate
the relative
drive-through time
and store its value.
You can therefore
quickly evaluate
your own performance
even if you are
driving along a part
of the track far
from the main
straight stretch,
which would be
expensive and
unpractical if you
used any other type
of chronometer.
4)
INDICATION
OF THE ACHIEVABLE
IDEAL TIME:
by managing
intermediates, ATHON
can calculate the
time a driver can
ideally achieve for
every single
session. This
function is obtained
by adding the best
sectorial times.
This will help you
understand the lap
time you might have
achieved if there
had been no traffic
in a specific point
of the track or if
you had done a lap
on top of your
absolute
performance.
5) DOUBLE
FUNCTION "BEST LAP"
LED:
the "BEST LAP" LED
will turn on if you
have improved your
previous lap and it
will blink if the
lap you have just
done is the best of
the session. This
solution will supply
the driver with all
the information
necessary for
performance without
any distraction.
If you have set up
intermediate finish
lines, the LED is
also enabled
whenever you cross
an intermediate.
This means that this
instrument is
extremely useful to
realise without any
distraction whether
you are improving
compared to the same
intermediate time of
the previous lap or
whether you have
just accomplished
the best
intermediate time of
the session.
6) GPS SPEED
MEASUREMENT:
the advantage of
using a GPS system
is also that you can
measure the vehicle
speed with the
highest degree of
accuracy without
having to install
any sensor on the
vehicle. No user
setup is required
and, above all, any
measurement is
always accurate, not
altered by the
inclination of the
vehicle or wheel
skidding.
7) ENGINE
SPEED INDICATOR WITH
SETTABLE LED BAR AND
SHIFT LIGHT:
ATHON is not only a
chronometer and
tachometer, but also
an engine speed
indicator. You can
set the power-on
engine speed of the
LED bar, which will
gradually turn on up
to the shift engine
speed set by the
user and signalled
by the 3 high-power
blue LEDS of the
Shift Light. You can
also display the
speed. The engine
speed can be
measured by
arranging the
inductive cable in
the proximity of an
ignition coil or by
connecting the
signal wire to the
original speed
indicator.
8)ENGAGED
GEAR INDICATOR and
WATER TEMPERATURE
WITH SETTABLE ALARM:
unlike minor ATHON
models, ATHON GPS-RW
can also indicate
the engaged gear by
calculating the
ratio between the
engine revolutions
and the wheel speed.
It can also indicate
the water
temperature by means
of an optional
temperature sensor.
9) DOUBLE
HOUR COUNTER FOR THE
PERFECT PERIODICAL
MAINTENANCE OF THE
VEHICLE:
ATHON has also got
two hour counters
that can be
separately reset for
the periodical
maintenance of the
vehicle. Hour
counters are
activated to receive
the tacho signal and
the GPS speed
signal. This
solution can operate
the hour counters
even if you do not
wish to connect the
tacho signal.
10) WIRELESS
DATA DOWNLOAD BY
MEANS OF THE
BLUETOOTH:
ATHON GPS-R can
integrate the
Bluetooth
communication module
for wireless
connection with the
computer in order to
download the data
that will be
analysed, filed and
printed by means of
the DigiRace-LE
software unit
supplied.
11)
SUPPLIED
WITH THE DIGIRACE-LE
SOFTWARE:
the DigiRace-LE
software supplied
with ATHON GPS-R can
file, analyse and
print the data
acquired and
graphically
represent the paths
you have driven
across with the
relative
acceleration and
deceleration points
for a lap-by-lap
comparison.
12)
999-LAP MEMORY WITH
AUTOMATIC MANAGEMENT
OF 99 TEST SESSIONS:
ATHON GPS-R will
automatically create
a new session
whenever you access
the track. This
means that you can
analyse the times
you have stored
during the various
sessions even at the
end of the day
without having to
delete memory
whenever you access
the track. You can
store the Date and
Time of every single
session as well as
the total time, the
intermediates, the
maximum speed, the
max. engine
revolutions and the
engine speed at the
max. speed for every
single lap.
13)
STORAGE OF THE
FINISH LINE
COORDINATES OF THE
TRACKS MOST USED:
you can store the
coordinates acquired
for the finish line
of the tracks you
are training on most
frequently. You can
file up to 16 tracks
and easily call the
finish line of the
current track
without having to
reset it every time.
14) ATHON IS
COMPLETE WITH A
BACKLIT LARGE-SIZE
GRAPHICAL DISPLAY:
this solution has
provided for the
development of a
software unit that
can analyse all
stored data and set
up all wished
functions in an
unequally
user-friendly and
immediate manner.
The display is of a
transflective type,
which means maximum
visibility also in
the sunlight when
backlighting is off.
15)
EXTERNAL SUPPLY:
supplied by 12V
vehicle battery or
by optional cases
for 9V batteries or
optional batteries.
Moreover, ATHON GPS-RW
is complete with
powerful energy
saving and self
power-off functions
the user can set up
to make the best use
of battery
performance. It is
supplied with a
specific extension
with eyelets for
battery connection
and with a connector
on one side of the
instrument for rapid
disconnection.
16)
WATER-PROOFNESS:
ATHON is waterproof
and it can also be
used in case of
rain.
