Manual DigiBox 2 ChampionChip BV 3 1 INTRODUCTION Read manual before use The ChampionChip DigiBox 2 is a controller that powers the antennas, collects data from chips and combines the code of the chips with the times. The DigiBox 2 is portable. It is designed and meant for battery operation during outdoor sports events. The DigiBox 2 consists of 16 internal readers, 4 antenna mat connectors, rechargeable internal batteries and recharging unit and a RS485 data communication interface. The readers are operated by 1 microprocessor and buffer memory to store Chip codes and compare them to the ones previously read. Basic principle Every participant in a ChampionChip timed event carries a special chip, the ChampionChip. When this chip passes a ChampionChip timing system, the chip will emit a unique code. The ChampionChip System operates with send and receive antennas that are cast in mats. These Antenna Mats are placed at the finish line and other timing locations. They are connected to DigiBoxes at the side of the road. DigiBox 2 Dimensions: 480 x 320 x 320 mm Weight: 14 kg Antenna mat (Classic or Light Weight) Dimensions: 210 x 100 x 1,2 cm Weight: 30 (Classic) or 15 (Light Weight) kg The Readers in the DigiBox 2 and the antennas in the mats have a double function: • Together they generate a magnetic field. • Together they receive the Chip-codes signals. Every timing location is operated by one or two ChampionChip Ears or PC’s (laptops). The Ear connects the DigiBoxes to a central computer with a direct serial line, a regular modem, or a cellular modem. The Ear is a specially designed device for operating the DigiBoxes and Antenna Mats. It could also be called the ChampionChip laptop. The Ear is responsible for: • Controlling the antennas on the road and switching on and off the magnetic field to charge chips • Keeping accurate time. • Data collection and storage (chip codes and times). • Passing on data to the central result computer. When the system is running, this is what happens: • The Ear sends the time and a command to the DigiBox 2. • Internal Readers in combination with send antennas emit an electromagnetic field for 30 milliseconds. • Any chip within reach of this field will be charged up with energy. • All the chips that are charged will send their unique identification number. • The receive antennas and the readers in the DigiBoxes will receive these signals during a 20 milliseconds period. These signals (the number and corresponding time) are then stored in the DigiBoxes and transferred to the Ear for further processing. • The Ear stores the codes and times, together with some system info like reader and antenna number. For more information about how the ChampionChip System works, please read the CC-System Manual.
