I have the old Orion system which with their software and cable lets you download a run to a PC. There you can view a graph of the run, overlay another stored run or look individual lap times. It also allows you to store setup data with the run. It uses the same type of detection system (IR to a pickup box) and the box has programmable run length, min lap and goal lap. Loud beeps to indicate each lap, goal lap and run end. I have had it for well over ten years. Great stuff back then.

Be careful when removing the plug from the receiver, mine was a bit tight so I managed to pull the wires out of the crimps.

I ordered one from Zen and already downloaded the latest version of the app.
I have only one question:
how can I change the practice/ race duration on the app. I haven't found it in the setting.
It always says last lap at 5 minutes, but we ran 6 minutes for TC and 8 minutes for 1/12.
Thank you

Haven't received my new unit yet, but I'm already looking forward to this update. All of my club races are 6 minutes long.

That's the advantage of a unit where all the important stuff is done using an app, not permanently in the unit itself 
Would it be possible to also have the option to slow down the voice 'read back' of the laps etc.
A different voice would be nice as well, I don't mean I want 'Homer Simpson' doing it, but a computerised female voice etc. Might be slightly easier on the ear.
Just idea's
I have tried mine on the bench, all good so far apart from my pulling the crimps apart through my own stupidity, might give it a proper whirl this weekend to try and test it in anger.

I never even considered that PP was talking to me in Male but my Siri is set to Female… I'll ask the question.

Another thought, being able to set a minimum lap time so it couldn't accidentally be set off if another part of the track would line the car up perfectly with the beacon

We haven't encountered that problem yet, there is already a 2s minimum built in, but let us know if you do get any false triggers.
