Manuale utente del cronometro GPS dedicato AIM MyChron6 Karting

The ﬁrst My-Chron appeared on the market more than 30 years ago!
The original simple concept of a personal chronograph automatically showing lap times and other important information to the racer remained the core of the system that, in the meantime, has improved and improved till arriving at the actual sixth generation.
Now we are introducing MyChron6, and we are deeply grateful to all our dealers, distributors, friends that have spent their lives on the track, attending our systems, helping everybody to start using them, repairing them when they required to be repaired, giving us important feedback that allowed us to constantly improve them in all these years.
Grazie.

MyChron6 in poche parole

MyChron6 offers the following features:

RPM input from sparkplug cable, for both 2 and 4 cycles engines.
One or two temperature inputs. It is possible to choose between thermocouple or thermoresistence; the sensors can read Exhaust Gas, Under spark and Water Temperatures

Through Bluetooth it is possible to read any heart rate sensor
Thanks to an internal 6 axis IMU it is possible to get the steering wheel angle

Suoamples and shows all parameters coming from GPS, Glonass and Galileo constellations: speed, position, linear and lateral acceleration with a precision of one millisecond. The receiver has been speciﬁcally tuned for kart races and can thereby stand all lateral and longitudinal accelerations, direction changes and vibrations without problems.
The GPS receiver is used also for calculating lap/split times: the internal database includes more than 2500 tracks, thereby automatically recognizing the track you are racing on, its start/ﬁnish line and the possible splits

All these data are stored in a huge USB memory card or in a 4GB internal memory from which they, can be downloaded on a PC via USB or Wi-Fi and analyzed using AiM Race Studio 3 software
A 16 grey levels wide display
A conﬁgurable RGB backlight that, thanks to the light sensor, automatically switches on in low light conditions

5 conﬁgurable RGB LEDs that you may conﬁgure for using in two different ways: they may help you choose the best up-shift moment in case you are driving a gear kart, or you may use them for showing the real-time gap between the current lap and your reference lap.
2 RGB alarm LEDs that can be switched on in seven different colours

A Lithium ions battery that may power your device up to 20 hours.
A CAN expansion bus, for connecting:
o SmartyCam 3
o LCU1S Lambda controller
o MyChron Expansion
o Infrared temperature controller

A Second CAN, for connecting future external devices

Installazione e alimentazione

Il tuo MyChron6 è stato progettato per essere installato sul volante di un kart. Installa delle rondelle in gomma sopra e sotto il volante del kart. Quando installi il cablaggio, fai attenzione a non stringere eccessivamente le strisce di plastica, perché le vibrazioni potrebbero tagliare la guaina del cablaggio e lasciare il cavo abbastanza lungo da supportare l'angolazione del volante.

3.1 – Installing the RPM cable on a four-stroke engine
A clean RPM signal is the key to a good performance of your MyChron6.
To get a clean signal, it is important for the RPM lead be installed correctly in order to pick up the best signal from the plug wire

3.2 – Installing the RPM cable on a two-stroke engine
Far passare il cavo RPM nella clip senza avvolgerlo sul filo della candela come mostrato qui sotto.

3.3 – Ricarica e alimentazione
MyChron6 can be charged in two ways:

through the external power connected to the 5 pins Binder connector placed on the back of MyChron6
Tramite il cavo USB di tipo A-tipo C

Needed charging time for a completely discharged device is about 4h and the required power delivery to enable fast charge is of almost 10 Watt.
USB connection through a PC can increase charging time if the power delivered is not enough (i.e. using a limited USB port on old PC).

Menu di configurazione

Prima di utilizzare il tuo MyChron6 devi impostare alcuni parametri come spiegato di seguito. Accedi al menu premendo il pulsante "MENU" e apparirà questa pagina.

Le icone ti permettono di impostare il tuo MyChron6:

4.1 – Backlight
You can set the backlight as:

"SU"
"SPENTO"
“AUTO”: in this case the light sensor placed on the front of your MyChron6 switches on/off the backlight according to the ambient light level.

I colori di retroilluminazione disponibili sono:

4.2 – System setting
Selecting this icon, you enter MyChron6 main conﬁguration page. Here you ﬁnd RPM, gear, LED, display and lap conﬁguration menus.

Le icone sono:

4.2.1 – Unit of measure
You can set the unit of measure of:

speed: km/h or mph
temperature: °C or °F

4.2.2 – Drive setup
Settings are different according to the system version and to the type of race you set.

diretto
frizione
gearbox: it needs to ﬁll in highest gear number; for this setting to work properly gear calculation procedure is needed, and this page allows to reset it too

CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission shaft)

Gearbox setting allows to perform and restart gear calculation following these steps.

ﬁll in highest gear number
run a learning lap
if the calculation is not correctly performed press “Reset Gear Calc” and repeat it.

Ulteriori informazioni sul calcolo delle marce e sulla procedura del giro di apprendimento sono disponibili sul sito websito www.aim-sportline.com – Download Area – Documentation – MyChron6 section.

CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) setting
This setting needs the proper speed sensor to be connected to the “CAN2 LAP” connector. Once the sensor is connected, when you select this setting, the channel disables lap time detection and switches to a speed channel.

4.2.3 – RPM setup
Puoi impostare:

RPM maximum (from 6000 to 24000)
RPM acquisition frequency (20 or 50 times per second)
RPM factor (x1, x2, /2, /4, /3)
RPM can be read 20 or 50 times per second according to your needs: 50Hz reading provides a more accurate signal but produces a bigger dataﬁle that requires more time for the data downloading.
RPM factor is the ratio between the number of ignitions and the number of crankshaft revolutions.
Kart typical setting is “x1” while other installations can need other factors.

4.2.4 – Temperature setup
This page allows to set the temperature channel. Available options are:

Automatic: the system automatically detects the sensor functionality, choosing among Exhaust gas, under spark and water temperatures. For automatically detecting the sensor types, the system checks the temperature values, that are in different ranges: this requires a minimum time for allowing the temperatures arrives at their typical values. In case you prefer to immediately have the
Manual: allows the user to select the sensor functionality

4.2.5 – Impostazione del tempo sul giro
European version: you can set different lap management:

automatic (left image below)
manual (right image below): you can choose GPS or optical/magnetic receiver

In automatic mode MyChron6 recognizes if an optical/magnetic receiver is connected in addition to the integrated GPS. In this case both receivers work at the same time continuously exchanging and comparing information about track ﬁnish and split points you cross. You can:

show lap time when crossing start/ﬁnish line for a 3-60 seconds time period.
enable/disable lap summary visualization when crossing start/ﬁnish line; in the US version only what is shown depends on the type of race you set in the Wizard or in the general settings (Road or Oval).

In manual mode MyChron6 default setting is GPS lap time but you can also set magnetic/optical receiver (right image below).

For GPS lap time you need to:

ﬁll in track width (between 5 and 100m)
set blind and lap display time (both between 3 and 60 seconds)
enable/disable lap summary visualization when crossing start/ﬁnish line.

For optical/magnetic lap time you need to: (EU version)

ﬁll in the number of beacon segments (between 1 and 6)
set beacon ﬁrst segment
set blind and lap display time (between 3 and 60 seconds)
enable/disable lap summary visualization or not when crossing start/ﬁnish line.

(versione USA)

set lap display time when crossing start/ﬁnish line (from 3 to 60 seconds)
enable/disable lap summary visualization: as already said the data shown changes according to the type of race that you set.

4.2.6 – LED setup
Qui puoi impostare:

the central LEDs bar (LED Bar)
the two lateral LED corresponding to “1” and “2” screen prints (Alarm LEDs)

LED Bar: manages the central LEDs. Available options are:

Tempo del giro
giri al minuto
SPENTO

Choosing Lap time LEDs will switch on while running and – according to the option selected – can show:

gap between current lap time and best lap time (Predictive)
gap between current split time and this split time in best lap (Best Section).

Each of the ﬁve LEDs indicates a tenth of a second gap; if lighting green they indicate an improvement while if lighting red they indicate a worsening.

Choosing “RPM” (left image below) you can set RPM threshold value (up to 16.000) that switches on each LED so to know when shifting.
Choosing “OFF” (right image below) the central LED bar is disabled.

Alarm LEDs: manages the lateral LEDs corresponding to “1” and “2” screen prints that can be conﬁgured as alarms (left image below).
Entering the page (right image below) you can link each LED to a temperature sensor and set it switching on threshold, LED colour and blinking frequency.

4.2.7 – Display setup

MyChron6 can show up to 8 pages, four of which are pre-deﬁned pages and four custom pages.

Pre-deﬁned pages, enabled by default, are:

Predictive & Sectors
Laptime & Sectors
Frequenza cardiaca
RPM bargraph

In pre-deﬁned pages the options to set are:

Enabled: YES/NO
Lap Time format:
o Static: lap time is shown steady for the entire lap and changes when crossing start/ﬁnish line
o Rolling: lap time is shown dynamic for the time period you set in “Lap Time setup” (see related paragraph); afterwards time starts rolling again o +/- Best: shows the gap between current lap and the best lap of this session; if the current lap is the new best lap this is automatically updated and becomes the reference for the following laps
o Predittivo: calcola ogni 50m il tempo sul giro previsto utilizzando il canale velocità e la posizione GPS
Split display format:
o +/- Best: shows the difference between current split time and best time of that split in the current session (not always related to the best lap)
o Actual: shows current split time

Nota: l'impostazione del formato Lap Time su "Predittivo" non è disponibile. Il formato Split Display "Effettivo" non è disponibile.

Una volta abilitata la personalizzazione, appare il pulsante “CONFIG” in alto a sinistra della pagina: premerlo.

Each custom page can show up to four ﬁelds. Pressing “SELECT” you can choose the channel to show in each ﬁeld. The only ﬁeld that can show lap time in different formats is bottom right one (right image below).

4.2.8 – General setting
Nella versione europea è possibile abilitare/disabilitare il GPS.

Nella versione statunitense è possibile selezionare il tipo di gara scegliendo tra ovale e strada, impostare il formato del tempo sul giro e azzerare il miglior tempo.

4.2.10 – System info
This page shows serial numbers as well as ﬁrmware and boot version of your MyChron6.

4.3 – Segnalini
Questa pagina gestisce i 4 contachilometri azzerabili di MyChron6. Il contachilometri di sistema non è azzerabile e quindi non è selezionabile.

Each odometer can be activated or stopped and reset. Select the odometer you want to manage and press “CHANGE”:

to stop it select “Status” and press “CHANGE”: status becomes “STOP” (left image below)

to reset the odometer, select “Clear” and press “CHANGE” (left image below)
pressing “EXIT” you go back to counters page and the counter you have cleared shows 0 km.

4.4 – Wi-Fi
Here you can manage Wi-Fi as well as reset its conﬁguration.
In the US version available Wi-Fi modes are:

ON: always active
Auto: active only when the speed is less than 5 mph
OFF (predefinito)

In the European version available Wi-Fi modes are:

Auto: active only when the speed is less than 5 km/h
OFF (predefinito)

In this version “ON” mode is not available.
“Wi-Fi Reset CFG” option allows to reset Wi-Fi conﬁgurations and is very useful if you do not remember Wi-Fi password

MyChron6 Wi-Fi conﬁguration can be made only using Race Studio 3 software. Two possible Wi-Fi modes are available:
1 – As an Access Point (AP – default setting)
This is the ideal conﬁguration if you have one only device and one only computer. In this situation, your MyChron6 creates a Wi-Fi network and works as an Access Point you can connect your PC to.

2 – Existing network (to connect to an existing Wi-Fi network – WLAN)
This mode is more complex and implies an external access point (AP) but it is also more ﬂexible and powerful because allows you to communicate with more than one device and with more than one computer in the same network. MyChron6 and the PC must connect to an existing Wi-Fi network made by a device that works as an external Access Point.

Quando si lavora in modalità WLAN MyChron5 ha due livelli di sicurezza disponibili:

autenticazione di rete: password di rete
device authentication: MyChron6 password

Entrambi i livelli ti consentono di utilizzare strategie diverse. Un PC in WLAN, ad esample, can see several AiM devices but can communicate only with those he knows the password of. If you forget the password, you can reset Wi-Fi conﬁguration from MyChron5 menu as explained at the beginning of this chapter

4.4.1 Conﬁguring MyChron5 as an Access Point (AP)
This is MyChron6 default conﬁguration and is the easiest and most direct connection mode, ideal if you want to communicate with one MyChron6 using one PC. It is free and so completely accessible by anyone. AiM suggests to set an access password.

Per stabilire una connessione Wi-Fi:
ensure that the Wi-Fi is enabled
read your MyChron6 name in the bottom line of the display main page (001130 in the image).

run Race Studio 3
click Wi-Fi icon and select your device
in a few seconds, the connection is established

To set other parameters create a unique password to protect the device/ network. With a password the communication is safe and encrypted using WPA2-PSKstandard.
Characters allowed in the password are all letters, also capital, all digits and these characters: ‘+_()[]{}$£!?^#@*\\\”=~.:;/%”. “Space” type can be used if it is not the ﬁrst one because this could cause incomprehension in some Windows TM versions.

Questo nome AP o SSID è univoco per il tuo dispositivo. Un example of name is:” AiM-MYC6-001130” where:

“AiM” is the preﬁx of all AiM devices
“MYC6” is the device type identiﬁer
“001130” is the device serial number assigned by the factory.

To make your device more recognizable you can add a name to the SSID. The limit is of eight characters.
Allowed characters are all letters, capital too, all digits and these characters: ‘+ – _ () [] {}!. “Space” type can be used if is not the ﬁrst for not to cause incomprehension in some Windows™ versions.
Aggiungendo, ad esempioample the driver’s name, John Hawk, the network name (SSID) becomes: ”AiM-M6- 001130-John Hawk”.
Once all parameters set click “Transmit”. MyChron6 reboots and is conﬁgured with the new parameters. If MyChron6 is protected by a password, as recommended, Race Studio3 will ask that password to authenticate.

Notare che: the same Wi-Fi connection can be created with the operative system tool. Once the device has been authenticated in the Wi-Fi network you can communicate with it using Race Studio 3.

4.4.2 – Adding MyChron6 to an existing network
This situation is ideal for a team with multiple drivers and staff members and is desired to communicate with one or more AiM devices using the same PC network. Each MyChron6 can have its password that adds another security and privacy level to the network.
Race Studio 3 will show all MyChron6 connected to the same network under “Connected devices” label, bottom left of the software page: click your device.
Enter “Wi-Fi and properties” tab and set it on “Existing Network”; ﬁll in network name, network password and device password.
Transmit the network settings to your device clicking “Transmit”: your device reboots and joins that network.
Please note: the only admitted password are those following WPA2-PSK standard.

Per completare questa procedura utilizzare il software Race Studio 3 come qui spiegato.

Here above you see a device “MyChron6 ID 1130” that switched from AP to Existing Network. Network name is “AiM” and does not work with free access because is protected by a password.
To obtain connectivity on the device the PC has to be authenticated to the network. When the PC is authenticated to the network called “AiM” it can see all devices conﬁgured to access the same network.
4.4.3 – Impostazioni di rete Wi-Fi
In this chapter, you ﬁnd a short description of how to conﬁgure a WLAN including AiM devices and a PC.
Qui sotto c'è un example of conﬁguration.

Per migliori prestazioni di rete, suggeriamo l'uso di un dispositivo di rete dotato di un server DHCP e che utilizzi la tecnologia MIMO 3×3 come, ad esempioample a Linksys AS3200. To maximize the bandwidth, you should not allow the Internet on this WLAN; this means the DHCP server should be conﬁgured without any DNS address nor gateway by default.
The parameters for the device network conﬁguration in this exampsono:
Nome della rete wireless: network_1
It means that the WLAN network name is “network_1.” A PC has to be authenticated in this network to interact with any AiM device of this network.

Indirizzo gateway: 192.168.0.1
server DNS primario: 0.0.0.0
server DNS secondario: 0.0.0.0
(Queste impostazioni impediscono la connettività Internet su questa WLAN.)

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.248
Abilita server DHCP: sì
Intervallo di indirizzi IP DHCP: da 192.168.0.2 a 192.168.0.6
These settings enable a DHCP server running on this WLAN and provide an IP address in a 2-6 range.
This means that this network allows 5 network hosts.
The number of devices on a WLAN network depends on the subnet mask. Here below you see typical examples di maschere di rete e intervalli di indirizzi IP.

The conﬁguration in bold is the one we suggest (if a greater number of devices is not needed), being the one that makes it easier and quicker for Race Studio 3 the identiﬁcation of the devices in the network.

Maschera di sottorete:	Intervallo di indirizzi IP:	Numero di dispositivi:
255.255.255.0	192.168.0.1 – 254	254
255.255.255.128	192.168.0.1 – 126	126
255.255.255.192	192.168.0.1 – 62	62
255.255.255.224	192.168.0.1 – 30	30
255.255.255.240	192.168.0.1 – 14	14
255.255.255.248	192.168.0.1 – 6	6

4.4.4 – La connettività Internet
For an optimal speed of your AiM device(s) we recommend not allowing the Internet on the same network and setting the WLAN in the same way. You can of course allow Internet access on your network, but this would degrade communication. This slightly slower speed can be suitable for your needs, but you can also have a second Wi-Fi connection using additional hardware (NIC). This conﬁguration would provide an optimal speed of the data network of your AiM device(s) and at the same time would provide internet connectivity with the second NIC.

4.4.5 – Problemi di connessione
It can occur that MyChron6 is correctly connected to Race Studio 3 via Wi-Fi, but the user interface does not show it. This may be because the Wi-Fi port setting is set with a static IP. To switch it to dynamic (DHCP):

open “Network and sharing center” in the Windows™ research engine

right click on the Wi-Fi connection and a panel shows up
o select “Properties” option
o double click on “Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4)”
o verify that option “Obtain an IP address” is active

4.4.6 – Working on Mac™ with virtualized Windows™
Race Studio 3 only works on Windows™ operating systems; Mac users can use a virtualized Windows™ machine.
The main problem is that the host OS (Mac) must share its Wi-Fi interface with the virtualized operative system (Windows) as Ethernet interface and not as Wi-Fi interface. Conﬁguring Parallels(™)
Select “Conﬁgure… in Parallels “Menu”.

Press “Hardware” – top on the page that shows up – and select “Network” in the drop-down menu on the left.
Right on the conﬁguration panel set “Type” ﬁeld on “Wi-Fi”.

Quindi seleziona il dispositivo con cui vuoi comunicare.
Per garantire il corretto funzionamento della comunicazione, selezionare il menu “Apri preferenze di rete…”.

Verificare che lo stato nella finestra visualizzata sia "Connesso" e che l'indirizzo IP associato sia, ad esempioample, 10.0.0.10 (potrebbe essere 10.0.0.11, 10.0.0.12 o genericamente 10.0.0.x).

To enable Race Studio 3 correctly working on a Mac with virtualized Windows™

press Wi-Fi icon
select “Wi-Fi and Ethernet Settings” option
abilita la casella di controllo in alto

4.4.7 – Connected device visualization issues
It may occur that using Race Studio 3 on an iMac with virtualized Windows the device connected via Wi-Fi takes some time to be shown in the network or is not shown at all. This is why we always suggest using a Wi-Fi (WLAN) router.
This router works as an Access Point allowing more external devices to connect to its network.
MyChron6 Wi-Fi conﬁguration is to be set on Existing Network as explained in the related paragraph.
It may also occur that, updating Windows to 11-24h2 version no Wi-Fi network is available. This is due to new privacy controls. Please click Qui per risolvere questo problema.
It is possible to set the time and date by hand and show them in different formats.

4.5 – Bluetooth connection
MyChron6 features a Bluetooth communication protocol that allows us to connect with external devices.
Only the heart rate monitor, of every brand, is actually enabled, but other ones will be added in the future. To connect the device:

Set “Bluetooth” ON
Seleziona il dispositivo Bluetooth
MyChron6 enters device page and shows all available devices as “ON”: press “OK”

the system asks for conﬁrmation; pressing “YES” MyChron6 reboots, and the device is connected via Bluetooth.
Once a device is selected MyChron6 stores it in the list of available devices: if selected, the data read from that device may be shown in a Display Custom Page and stored for future analysis in the AiM Analysis software RaceStudio3.

4.6 – Track management
MyChron6 built-in GPS receiver is used for:

Lap Time calculation
Speed calculation
Predictive lap time calculation
Position on the track in analysis

To calculate these data the system needs the following information about the racetrack:

start/ﬁnish line coordinates
possible magnetic strips coordinates

MyChron6 comes with a long list of the world main kart tracks. The tracks are constantly updated by our technicians and automatically loaded to your PC when running RaceStudio 3 Analysis Software if a connection to the Internet is available.
MyChron6 provides two track selection modes: automatic and manual.

Automatico:
MyChron6 automatically recognizes the track youare running on, loads the start/ﬁnish line and thepossible split coordinates and calculates lap andsplit times without optical/magnetic receiver.
This is the best mode in most cases.

Manuale:
Allows to manually select the track from the internal database.
Scrolling to Track Selection “Change” button switches to “Enter”: press it and select the track to set.
This mode is preferred when multiple track conﬁgurations are available nearby. In this case MyChron6 would anyway recognize the track but would need at least one complete track lap.

To be ready from the ﬁrst lap manual mode would be helpful.
Scrolling the list of available tracks available options are:

nearest: shows only tracks in a 10 km distance
all: shows all tracks stored in the system in alphabetical order

custom: shows only the tracks previously created by the user (learning mode)

4.6.1 – Creare una traccia con MyChron 6
In case the system is running on a track NOT included in MyChron6 database the device switches to “learning” mode and behave this way:

starts sampling all track points
detecting that is crossing the same points for the second time it realizes that the track is closed and sets a temporary start/ﬁnish line showing lap time each time it crosses that point;

at the end of the session the system shows the track map with start/ﬁnish line: start/ﬁnish line can be moved using MyChron6 lateral buttons
it is possible to add this new map to MyChron6 database, modify start/ﬁnish line coordinates, name the track and transmit it to the PC at ﬁrst PC- MyChron6 connection.

For further information about track management with Race Studio 3 refer to “Track Manager” user manual you ﬁnd in download area/software/Race Studio 3/documentation of: www.aim-sportline.com.
