Mas concretamente, el dispositivo dispone de unos conversores analógico-digitales asociados a cada uno de los carriles que digitalizan las señales de tensión captadas cada ciertos intervalos de tiempo constantes predeterminados, señales de tensión que corresponden a las diferentes posiciones del pulsador de velocidad del vehículo para los diferentes tramos del circuito.More specifically, the device has some analog-digital converters associated with each of the lanes that digitize the voltage signals captured every certain predetermined constant time intervals, voltage signals that correspond to the different positions of the vehicle speed button for the different sections of the circuit.
Estas señales captadas y transformadas por los convertidores son tratadas a continuación por la CPU que almacena en la memoria de almacenamiento no temporal la secuencia de tensiones correspondientes a cada una de las vueltas que se efectúen durante una sesión continua de captación de datos, quedando como referencia en memoria, únicamente, la secuencia de tensiones correspondientes a la vuelta que se efectúe en el menor tiempo posible, borrándose la secuencia de mayor tiempo anteriormente registrada.These signals captured and transformed by the converters are then processed by the CPU that stores in the non-temporary storage memory the sequence of voltages corresponding to each of the turns that are made during a continuous session of data collection, remaining as a reference in memory, only, the sequence of voltages corresponding to the return that takes place in the shortest time possible, deleting the sequence of the longest time previously recorded.

La secuencia transmitida por el control de salida al carril, puede modificarse en carrera en el momento en el que el vehículo con el que participa el jugador realice un tiempo menor que el vehículo de referencia comandado por el dispositivo, entonces el control transmite esa nueva secuencia de velocidades al vehículo de referencia que correrá las siguientes vueltas de acuerdo con esta secuencia en un tiempo, que constituirá el nuevo tiempo a batir por el vehículo del jugador o vehículos de los jugadores, si se trata de una pista con varios carriles.The sequence transmitted by the exit control to the lane, can be modified in the race at the moment in which the vehicle with which the player participates takes less time than the reference vehicle commanded by the device, then the control transmits that new sequence of speeds to the reference vehicle that will run the following laps according to this sequence in a time, which will constitute the new time to beat by the player's vehicle or players' vehicles, if it is a track with several lanes.
Cuando se ubican los dos vehículos en la salida para iniciar la carrera, se pulsa la tecla de inicio de la cuenta atrás en cada una de las pistas hasta llegar a cero, instante el que se activa un relé que permite alimentar y que funcione el pulsador de la pista donde corre el usuario, simultánemente la unidad de control de salida comienza a aplicar valores de tensión sobre la pista del coche gobernado por el sistema.When the two vehicles are located at the start to start the race, the start button of the countdown is pressed on each of the tracks until it reaches zero, at which time a relay is activated that allows feeding and that the button works of the track where the user runs, simultaneously the output control unit begins to apply voltage values on the track of the car governed by the system.
