Kinetic Mat System (KMS)
                              Version 2.1

The Kinetic Mat System is designed for the accurate timing of a wide range 
of human and other activities.  Switch outputs are input to the parallel 
(printer) port of any IBM PC compatible computer.  This enables the accurate 
timing of events recorded as switch changes in infra red light beams, 
contact mats, hand switches, sound switches etc.. In fact any switch which 
is normally open and then closes in response to some event can be input to 
the computer and timed with a resolution of 1 millisecond.

Example applications include:

     1. A light beam starts the timer, and consecutive light beams up the 
        track can be used to record split times.  The program calculates 
        velocities between the points, split times and total time.

     2. A contact mat can be used to measure jump height, flight time, 
        contact time etc. with power output and work done being calculated 
        for single or multiple jumps.  During multiple jump tests the system 
        will record the contact and flights times of each jump and calculate 
        fatigue rates from first to last jump.
        A threshold level can be placed on power output, jump height or
        contact time.  A tone will be emitted if the subject exceeds the
        threshold so providing feedback during jump training.

     3. Light beam switches or magnetic switches can be mounted on 
        resistance training equipment and the computer will measure the 
        velocity and power output during weight lifting.

     4. Jogging on a contact mat the system will measure average flight 
        and contact times for the left and right legs as well as left to 
        right ratios.
