<figure><img src="https://dbnetsoft.github.io/IDCamProDocumentation/configuration/timingdevices/images/algetiming.png" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The following devices are supported:

* ALGE-Timy in most programs, e.g. Backup or PC-Timer
* TDC 8000/8001 by selecting ´ALGE-Timing Timy (Backup)´ as timing device

FDS devices can also work with the ALGE-Timing protocol.

### Configuration <a href="#configuration" id="configuration"></a>

ALGE-Timing channels range from C0 to C9, usually being C0 the start and C1 the finish. The meaning of each setting is described [here](https://dbnetsoft.github.io/IDCamProDocumentation/configuration/timingdevices/).

| Key                     | Values         | Default |
| ----------------------- | -------------- | ------- |
| Start Channels          | `C0`-`C9`      | `C0`    |
| Recording Channels      | `C0`-`C9`      | `C1`    |
| Bib Channels            | `C0`-`C9`      | `C1`    |
| Use Rising/Falling Edge | `true`/`false` | `false` |

{% hint style="info" %}
Rising/falling edge should be enabled (checked) when expecting longer finish passings close to each other. This way the recording only stops on the last release of the light beam.
{% endhint %}
