MyLaps X2 Server
This protocol is used mainly at tests where no official timing is provided. HH Development distributes a stand alone application that connects to the server and transforms the loops crossing information into messages that are interpreted by HH Timing. The application can be downloaded from here:
Operation
The tool is divided into three main sections:
Settings
This section mananges all the information required to process the loop crossings
Cars:
Enter the basic information of the car (number, category, manufacturer) and the transponder id. There is not limit in the amount of cars in the configuration.
SF Lines:
List the name of the Start/Finish loops (both on track and in pits).
In Pits SF Lines:
List the name of the Start/Finish loops located in the pit lane. If no dedicated SF loop is available in the pit lane, the Pit In line can be used instead.
Pit In Lines:
List the name of the pit entry loops.
Pit Out Lines:
List the name of the pit exit loops.
Sectors:
List the track sectors. Each sector is defined by an entry timing loop and an exit timing loop.
Use the +/- buttons on top of each section to add or remove items
Timing
In this section, all the information required to connect to the X2 server is defined.
X2 Server:
Host:
Network Address of the X2 Server
User Name and Password:
Login credentials for the X2 Server
Timing:
Session Start Time:
Date and time of the start of the Session
Output Port:
This is the port that HH Timing will use to connect to the tool. The Server Status field below indicates whether the port was successfully acquired at startup.
Server Status:
Indicates whether the processing server started successfully on the configured Output Port. If the status shows Failed to start, the port is already in use by another process — change the Output Port value and restart the application.
Session:
Type:
Sets the session type: Practice or Race. This is used to correctly interpret the timing data received from the X2 server and send it in the correct format to HH Timing clients.
Manual Name:
Optional name to assign to the session. If set, this name will be used instead of the name received from the X2 server.
Skip X2 cars:
When enabled, cars that are defined in the X2 server but not in the local configuration will be ignored and not forwarded to HH Timing.
Data
If the connection is succesful, this section will display the current session information and the history of the loops crossings.
Session:
Name:
The name of the current session as defined in the Timing Tab.
Time:
Current Elapsed Time (based on Session Start Time + last crossing).
Passings:
List of all loop crossings received since the application started, displayed in chronological order.
Server Connection
To connect to the timing server use the buttons in the ribbon bar
In the bottom left part of the software there is a connection indicator. If the connection it succesful it will turn green
It the connection fails it will turn red
Timing Connection
To connect to the tool create a championship configuration with HH Timing protocol with the following parameters:
- Host: Network address of the X2 application (localhost if running in the same computer)
- Port: Output Port of the X2 application
