Starting a heat
```````````````

1. Make sure the `Start impulse` field is empty, otherwise the system will not start.
   If it is not empty, triple check if you want to start this heat. If so, clear the old results by using the red X in the top right corner.
2. Arm the timing system by ticking the `ACTIVATE TIMING` checkbox
3. Press start (bottom right) to start the tape.
4. At go, check if the displays start and `Start impulse` is filled

Correcting a time
`````````````````
Scenario 1: one timekeeper pressed by accident in the middle of the heat:

    - Click the incorrect `Impulse` field
    - Clear the field
    - Press enter

Scenario 2: The timekeepers pressed the button after the second cookie, but the athlete cut a third cookie. The timers pressed again.

    - The system does not automatically take the last time of a timekeeper
    - When a timekeeper presses a second time, the system shows his channel number in red:

        In this case, timer C2 pressed 2 times. Timer C4 pressed after C2 with a large difference.
    - Go to the timer who pressed multiple times, expand the combobox and select the correct time.
