-Multi Chronopic
-\end_layout
-
-\begin_layout Standard
-Multi Chronopic allows any type of test that uses two, three or four independent
- measurements Chronopics.
- Remember that for the other tests it’s possible to connect multiple devices
- to a single Chronopic, but it’s understood that that always have to be
- in touch in one or both of them.
-\end_layout
-
-\begin_layout Standard
-Unlike previous tests, Multi Chronopic allows the use of several Chronopics,
- each connected to one or more detection devices, so that contact can be
- more than Chronopic at a time.
- Their operating depends on the program user, but here are some examples:
- 
-\end_layout
-
-\begin_layout Enumerate
-Static Test running on two platforms: the aim is to assess the tempo of
- tread of the left and right foot.
- It’s required that each Chronopic is connected and independent since the
- sportsman is often stepping on both platforms
-\end_layout
-
-\begin_layout Enumerate
-The study of the contact times in a volleyball jump: One foot in each platform,
- then both take off at the same time.
- To know various times is needed 2 Chronopics platforms and 2 independents
- ones.
-\end_layout
-
-\begin_layout Enumerate
-Plate Tapping with extra coordinative action: Construction of a device type
- detection Plate Tapping, where the tester must touch either side as quickly
- as possible with a single hand.
- Connect a conductive part to any side and to one Chronopic to record the
- different times.
- Moreover, if the subject should do something with his foot every 3 contacts
- we can locate a contact platform on the floor and connect it to a second
- Chronopic.
-\end_layout
-
-\begin_layout Enumerate
-Two, three or four athletes do a round trip timed race on a track: there
- is placed a platform at the beginning and final of each lane.
- A Chronopic will be connected to the beginning and end platform because
- a person can’t be at both at once.
- Thus, if there are 4 subjects it will be 4 lanes, 4 Chronopic and 8 platforms.
- We will be able to measure the times and speeds of each 4 independently.
-\end_layout
-
-\begin_layout Subsection
-Synchronization
-\end_layout
-
-\begin_layout Standard
-Some of these tests require a synchronization to intend that the various
- Chronopics start at the same time.
- However, in others the synchronization is not required.
- In the first three examples cited above, synchronization is required so
- there is no error in the comparison of time between a tread and the other
- (example 1 and 2) or from contact with the tapping and the tread on the
- ground (Example 3).
- This sync can be selected from a check box and carried out by making contact
- with several devices at once, or by touching the Test butto

-\begin_layout Standard
-The sync in the fourth example requires discussion.
- If the subjects leave when they want and the aim is to record only the
- time between contact and the next synchronization is not required.
- On the other hand, sync is needed if we use the signal of an external evaluator
-, and when we expect to know the time between the signal (of any contact)
- and the first contact each athlete.

+\begin_layout Standard

+Protocol
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Assistant will produce contact in a contact device: push-button, platform,
+ photocell, ...
+ and at any moment (when athlete is prepared), assitant will release the
+ contact and instantly the Chronopic green led will light.
+ At this moment, the athelete will produce contact in another contact device
+ and green light will be off.
+ The reaction time registered will be the time between light starts glowing
+ and athelete produces contact.
+ It's important that athlete doesn't see or hear the assistant.

+Multi Chronopic
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Multi Chronopic allows any type of test that uses two, three or four independent
+ measurements Chronopics.
+ Remember that for the other tests it’s possible to connect multiple devices
+ to a single Chronopic, but it’s understood that that always have to be
+ in touch in one or both of them.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Unlike previous tests, Multi Chronopic allows the use of several Chronopics,
+ each connected to one or more detection devices, so that contact can be
+ more than Chronopic at a time.
+ Their operating depends on the program user, but here are some examples:
+ 
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Enumerate
+Static Test running on two platforms: the aim is to assess the tempo of
+ tread of the left and right foot.
+ It’s required that each Chronopic is connected and independent since the
+ sportsman is often stepping on both platforms
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Enumerate
+The study of the contact times in a volleyball jump: One foot in each platform,
+ then both take off at the same time.
+ To know various times is needed 2 Chronopics platforms and 2 independents
+ ones.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Enumerate
+Plate Tapping with extra coordinative action: Construction of a device type
+ detection Plate Tapping, where the tester must touch either side as quickly
+ as possible with a single hand.
+ Connect a conductive part to any side and to one Chronopic to record the
+ different times.
+ Moreover, if the subject should do something with his foot every 3 contacts
+ we can locate a contact platform on the floor and connect it to a second
+ Chronopic.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Enumerate
+Two, three or four athletes do a round trip timed race on a track: there
+ is placed a platform at the beginning and final of each lane.
+ A Chronopic will be connected to the beginning and end platform because
+ a person can’t be at both at once.
+ Thus, if there are 4 subjects it will be 4 lanes, 4 Chronopic and 8 platforms.
+ We will be able to measure the times and speeds of each 4 independently.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Subsection
+Synchronization
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Some of these tests require a synchronization to intend that the various
+ Chronopics start at the same time.
+ However, in others the synchronization is not required.
+ In the first three examples cited above, synchronization is required so
+ there is no error in the comparison of time between a tread and the other
+ (example 1 and 2) or from contact with the tapping and the tread on the
+ ground (Example 3).
+ This sync can be selected from a check box and carried out by making contact
+ with several devices at once, or by touching the Test butto

+ is described a method for the construction of a professional sync device.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+The sync in the fourth example requires discussion.
+ If the subjects leave when they want and the aim is to record only the
+ time between contact and the next synchronization is not required.
+ On the other hand, sync is needed if we use the signal of an external evaluator
+, and when we expect to know the time between the signal (of any contact)
+ and the first contact each athlete.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Subsection
+Erase first time
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+In some tests, the time of the first contact until the first change of state
+ is not relevant.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Perhaps, the subject can begin whenever he wants.
+ If you want to compare the subject's ability to follow an independent press
+ with both hands (two Chronopics).
+ The time registered since the start until the first contact is not relevant
+ and should be removed to avoid contaminating averages.

+Run analysis
+\end_layout

+\begin_layout Standard
+In addition to the examples given we have to include a test to analyze the
+ run produced by Josep Maria Padullés as part of his doctoral thesis.
+ As sense devices it’s used two photocells barriers and a track with contacts
+ platforms.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+The two photocells are connected to the 
+\series bold
+first
+\series default
+ Chronopic to know the time between them.
+ The program evaluator will indicate the distance between them and thus
+ it can be known the average speed.
+ The track of platforms will be connected to the

+second
+\series default
+ Chronopic, which will give us the contact time and flight time.
+ In this case the synchronization between Chronopics or deleted the first
+ time is not required.
+\end_layout
