You
spend time and money to make your car as fast as it can be, like
everyone else who races. But your car is only half of the equation. The
difference between winning and losing lies in the driver’s
skill. What have you done lately to make yourself as
fast as you can be?
If you’ve invested in
a practice tree, you’ve already taken a step in the right direction. Practicing
on the couch with a thumb switch or a sewing machine pedal? How about practicing in
your car! If you foot brake that's where it counts!
You know your standalone
practice tree has improved your reaction time, but
for that extra edge, you need more, something with analysis
and display capabilities. If you could only tie that
tree into your PC’s display, how much easier would it
be to use your tree? Wouldn’t
charting your improvement from the past few weeks or
comparing your reaction time statistics to those of
your friends make you that much better that much quicker?
You can hone that competitive edge even sharper by
setting up RT tournaments with your car club.
You can do all of those things with pcliminator™,
a tool for logging and analyzing your reaction
time. Pcliminator consists of an adapter cable that connects
your personal computer or laptop to your practice tree, a reaction
time pedal switch (RTPS), and the pcliminator™ software
(runs under the Windows™ operating
systems: Win98, Win ME, Win2000, WinXP). The current
version of pcliminator supports the Portatree™ Eliminator
2000™ using the betabrite™ LED port.
Other types of practice trees and interfaces are
planned for in the future.
The
pcliminator software processes output from the practice tree along
with the tree and driver configuration. The result is a powerful
tool for analyzing reaction time performance and logging that is
only limited by the amount of your computer’s available disk
space. All data and configuration may be saved into settings files
that you can review, modify or send to others. The software supports
up to 250 individual drivers and their settings with up to 1000 detailed
events per driver within a single settings file. No standalone practice
tree even comes close to this capacity. Combine this with an easy-to-use
graphical user interface and you'll have the best of both worlds:
the precision of your practice tree and the power of pcliminator
on your PC.
When you head out to the track
to bracket or heads-up-drag race, not only will your car
be ready to win, so will you with pcliminator.
