What is Reaction Mode?
Updated 19 October 2026
Reaction mode is designed to measure the time it takes for an athlete to move a an Audio/Visual stimulus.
In the case of a simple sprint, with reaction mode enabled, the SYNCRO App will deliver
- The time from Audio Visual Stimulus to athlete leaving the sensor
- The first split time will be delivered separately as the time from the athlete leaving until they reach the target gate.
- If you are using a MOVE sensor the times are measured between the events described above, but because these events are generated in reference to first movement the results will be different.
