Managing Pit Locations

Updated on Mar 4, 2026
  1. Set entry and exit points on your mini pit lane timer.
     
  2. Save the pit locations to the SD card:
    Menu -> Pit Lane Timer -> Manage Locations -> Save to Card -> OK button.
    The unit will create a pit locations txt file on the SD card (pitLocations.txt).
  1. Save the pit locations to the SD card (see above).
     
  2. Remove the SD Card from the mini pit lane timer unit and open it on a computer.
     
  3. Find the most recently saved pitLocations.txt file on the SD card.
    (The file name with the highest number is the latest revision on the card.)
     
  4. Open the text file.
     
  5. You can now edit the track names in this file manually.

    Note: When you edit the names, you must make sure that the PIT prefix is not touched, you can only change the Track_XXX part of the line. 
    (e.g. PIT TRACK_001 to PIT Silverstone)
     
  6. Save the file - you must rename it to pitLocationIn.txt for the mini pit lane timer to be able to load it. 
     
  7. Copy the new file to the SD cards for the units you want to transfer them to.
     
  8. Load the file into the unit (see below).
  1. Insert a card with a pit location text file into the mini pit lane timer unit.
     
  2. Load the pit locations from the SD card:
    Menu -> Pit Lane Timer-> Manage Locations -> Load from Card -> OK button.

This will add the locations in the loaded file to the mini pit lane timer's internal memory and make it able to detect the pit locations as long as it has satellite lock.
