Control hardware: Time calibration and setting codes
1-Hardware Time Calibration
Step 1: Master Station Time Synchronization
1.Connect the Master Station to a computer using the Master Station Cable.
2.In the Results software, switch the Master Station to Management Mode.
3.Navigate through the menus: Toolbox → CF Station Management → Time Calibration.
4.Execute the Synchronize Time function to transfer the computer’s precise time to the Master Station.
Step 2: Place CF Stations in Standby Mode
Use the Time Calibration Card to sequentially approach and tap all CF Stations that require time calibration, excluding the Master Station.
Each tap will place that CF Station in the "Awaiting Calibration" state.。
Step 3: Master Station Broadcasts Time
Finally, use the same Time Calibration Card to tap the Master Station. Upon receiving this command, the Master Station will immediately wirelessly broadcast the acquired precise time to all CF Stations in the "Awaiting Calibration" state.
2-Code Assignment
The status of a CF Station is displayed on its screen:
the central 6-digit "8" segment displays the time, while the triangular indicators at the top and bottom denote the device status.
Step 1：Enter “Awaiting Calibration” Mode
Tap the CF Station with the Time Calibration Card. The screen will display Battery Level + Station Number (e.g., “07: 031”), indicating it has entered the “Awaiting Calibration” state.
Step 2: Modify Station Number
While the CF Station is in the “Awaiting Calibration” state, you can use the Number Increment/Decrement Card to modify its station number. Different numbers correspond to different station functions (see diagram below). When the CF Station is in different states, the position of the triangular indicator labels varies accordingly, and the screen will display the corresponding information.
