Stage Timing
Functions → Timing → Stage
Stage Timing measures one continuous segment from start to finish — stage rally, hill climb, or any point-to-point run. It does not count laps. Runs save to the Timing Run Library.
Enabling
Check Enable and set the speed channel (km/h). Distance can be integrated from speed or read from a distance channel.
Arm, start, finish, abort
| Stage | Typical use |
|---|---|
| Arm | Staging before the clock (switch, edge/level conditions, event, or Auto). |
| Start | Clock starts (start line event, green light, or conditions). |
| Finish | Clock stops. Prefer Event mapped to a Finish Beacon from a geo finish line under Locations & lines, or a dedicated finish event. |
| Abort | Condition, event, or speed-drop while running. |
Unlike circuit timing, stage does use Finish Beacon for the finish line. Circuit S/F uses Lap Beacon only.
Live delta
Stage Time Delta is distance-matched against the stage run set as reference in the Run Library (current time − reference time at the same distance). Negative means ahead of the reference.
- Requires a saved trajectory on the reference run.
- There is no fixed “manual reference time” in stage config — use the library.
- Without a usable reference trajectory, Stage Time Delta stays invalid (blank/NaN).
Output channels
| Channel | Description |
|---|---|
| Stage State | Disabled / Idle / Armed / Running / Finished / Aborted |
| Stage Time | Elapsed stage time |
| Stage Distance | Distance covered |
| Stage Time Delta | Live distance-matched Δ vs library reference |
Events: Stage Start, Stage Finish, Stage Abort (when those transitions occur).
