Allows for connection of an external clock display or the optional Trident Sports Timing Clock. This clock can either display the current time, or be used as a stopwatch to show competitors the elapsed time. The clock is controlled by using pass through commands to the reader’s control port, as described later in this manual.
A brief description of the clock pass through commands are:
