Its core is the new GPS system Starlane has developed by means of the most advanced satellite technology with aeronautical algorithms, a fundamental choice to manufacture an accurate and reliable product going beyond all the main limits known for GPS commercial systems.

ATHON GPS is surely by full right the most innovative product in the field for the philosophy, by virtue of which it has been conceived and designed as well as for its technology enclosed in a compact design executed with the greatest care.

The Athon PRO version stands out from the others because it can acquire external sensor data, such as: Throttle Position Sensor (TPS), Suspensions, Water Temperature, Exhaust Gas or Oil Temperature, Detonation, Wheel Speed, Engaged Gear. It is also complete with a CAN BUS data line for connection with expansion modules in order to increase acquirable channels. The RID for Linear Lambda Probe is also available between CAN BUS modules, referred to as RID.

1) GPS RECEIVER AND ANTENNA BUILT IN THE INSTRUMENT:
the Athon shock-proof ABS body accommodates the 5Hz. GPS receiver and the relative antenna. This solution can make it really handy and simple, not requiring the installation of any additional detail on the vehicle.

2) YOU CAN SAY GOOD-BYE TO ALL UNPRACTICAL INFRARED TRANSMITTERS ARRANGED ON THE PIT WALL:
the use of the GPS system intended to detect the lap time will make ATHON completely autonomous, requiring no beacon transmitters, such as the infrared ones used by old-generation systems.
Everything is getting much simpler. It is no longer necessary to arrange the transmitter and to recharge the battery, which is extremely annoying and unpractical, with the risk of forgetting it on the wall or having it stolen.

3) MANAGEMENT OF THE FINISH LINE AND 3 INTERMEDIATES:
just press one key to set up the coordinates of 4 finish lines (main finish line + 3 optional intermediates) during the first lap. Whenever you cross a finish line or an intermediate, ATHON will indicate the relative drive-through time and store its value. You can therefore quickly evaluate your own performance even if you are driving along a part of the track far from the main straight stretch, which would be expensive and unpractical if you used any other type of chronometer. You can also set up the finish lines on the computer by arranging them on the track map by means of the mouse after the first data download.

4) NO SPECIFIC WIRING REQUIRED, ALL SIGNALS REACH DABOX1:
to make the system really universal and avoid any complex wiring on the vehicle, Athon GPS-PRO is supplied with DABOX1, an extremely small multiple socket specifically conceived to connect sensors directly or through dedicated extensions, 50, 100 and 150 cm in length. This solution will enable the user to easily reach any part of the vehicle by using as few cables as possible.

5) INDICATION OF THE ACHIEVABLE IDEAL TIME:
by managing intermediates, ATHON can calculate the time a driver can ideally achieve for every single session. This function is obtained by adding the best sectorial times. This will help you understand the lap time you might have achieved if there had been no traffic in a specific point of the track or if you had done a lap on top of your absolute performance.

6) DOUBLE FUNCTION "BEST LAP" LED:
the "BEST LAP" LED will turn on if you have improved your previous lap and it will blink if the lap you have just done is the best of the session. This solution will supply the driver with all the information necessary for performance without any distraction.
If you have set up intermediate finish lines, the LED is also enabled whenever you cross an intermediate. This means that this instrument is extremely useful to realise without any distraction whether you are improving compared to the same intermediate time of the previous lap or whether you have just accomplished the best intermediate time of the session.

7) POSSIBILITY OF CHOOSING BETWEEN VARIOUS MAIN SCREENS:
this means that the system is perfectly suitable for any need for personal display according to the parameters you may be most interested in, i.e. Speed, Water Temperature, Motor Rev, Gear on, Chrono. Just press the Arrow Down key to scroll the various screens at your own discretion.

8) GPS SPEED MEASUREMENT:
the advantage of using a GPS system is also that you can measure the vehicle speed with the highest degree of accuracy without having to install any sensor on the vehicle. No user setup is required and, above all, any measurement is always accurate, not altered by the inclination of the vehicle or wheel skidding.

9) ENGINE SPEED INDICATOR WITH SETTABLE LED BAR AND SHIFT LIGHT:
ATHON is not only a chronometer and tachometer, but also an engine speed indicator. You can set the power-on engine speed of the LED bar, which will gradually turn on up to the shift engine speed set by the user and signalled by the 3 high-power blue LEDS of the Shift Light. You can also display the speed. The engine speed can be measured by arranging the inductive cable in the proximity of an ignition coil or by connecting the signal wire to the original speed indicator.

10) DOUBLE HOUR COUNTER FOR THE PERFECT PERIODICAL MAINTENANCE OF THE VEHICLE:
ATHON has also got two hour counters that can be separately reset for the periodical maintenance of the vehicle. Hour counters are activated to receive the tacho signal and the GPS speed signal. This solution can operate the hour counters even if you do not wish to connect the tacho signal.

11) WIRELESS DATA DOWNLOAD BY MEANS OF THE BLUETOOTH:
ATHON GPS-PRO can integrate the Bluetooth communication module for wireless connection with the computer in order to download the data that will be analysed, filed and printed by means of the DigiRace-PRO software unit supplied.

12) SUPPLIED WITH THE DIGIRACE-PRO SOFTWARE:
the DigiRace-PRO software supplied with ATHON GPS-PRO can file, analyse and print the data acquired and graphically represent the values of the connected sensors and covered paths with the purpose of comparing the several laps.
