TACHYMETEr FunCTIon

(not all models)
The tachymeter will only determine speeds greater than
60 units per hour using this method; slower speeds can
be measured by decreasing the unit of measurement.
The function performed by a tachymeter is independent
of the unit of distance (e.g. statute miles, nautical miles,
kilometers, meters etc.) as long as the same unit of length
is used for all calculations.
1. Determine the start and finish markers for your pre-
determined distance.
2. Start the chronograph once the target for speed
measurement passes the start marker.
3. Stop the chronograph once the target for speed
measurement passes the finish marker.
