As far as I understand there are several participants. So which one stops the stopwatch?

Currently no. It has to be updated.

Only when they pass the actual finish should the timer stop.

So it seems sufficient to block the external Start/Stop once it's triggered, then stop manually, right?

No so far.

Hello!

First of all, I love the stopwatch software!

Is it possible for the software to separate the start and stop external controls?
So that START is on COM2 (or line 4/6) and the STOP is on COM3 (or line 7/8).

I actually need this because when the first one goes through the START-gate, I don't want it to STOP the timer when the second and third go through the same gate.
Only when they pass the actual finish should the timer stop.

Is this, or can this be made, possible?

Thanks in advance!
