I would like to try running my timing system by using the clock mode as this way I could provide a bit more information to the organisers and to the riders as to when they started their timed section and when they finished it. Having experimented I can see that i can have two clocks running (synchronised with the pc clock) and take a split time at the start of a riders test and again at the completion of that test.
I can get this to output into excel and when deducting snap one from snap two I can get an elapsed time and format this to hh:mm:ss.000 i.e. thousandths and it will give me the result i want, however the view of each of the clocks only runs to a format of hh:mm:ss when running, can this be changed anywhere in the software or is this a limitation of the PC clock itself?
Ultimatly the result i want is available but i'm not sure that riders and organisers would be confident of the output reults unless the clock was running in view to the same level of detail. (I'm aware that there are accuracy limitations but i feel that at the level of sport i am arranging this for it will be plenty good enough)
