When we started doing Reaction times we called it Pre-Anticipation Reaction PAR time as a tie in with Carlton Philips's Professional Auto Repair. We were using Chrondek in the late 70's then switched to TSI and finally Brockmyer's Computime which is a DOS based system. Something about windows timers not being pure due to power fluctuation.

Well back in the early days when Chrondek was the major player of timing devices, timers would read 6 photocells-- pre stage, stage(start line) , guard beam, start speed, finish line, stop speed. MPH was looked up on a conversion chart ( converting time in the trap ) to MPH (think VASCAR). Tom Haggin (RIP) of TSI,Bob Brockmeyer of CompuLinkstarted producing systems that were DOS and/or Windows based. this opened the world for timing equipment. Program what you want conceivably get a time every foot if you want to spend $$$ for all the equipment necessary. Could probably write a book on all the different timers available now and some that were not well known such as DigiTime.
