1 Introduction
®
The Fast Track 3000 Series Timer (herein also referred to as the Timer) helps you operate a drive-thru
store more efficiently and profitably by tracking the progress of customer vehicles through the ordering
and delivery process. Management and staff can use this information in crucial ways to:
 Analyze service time
 Improve productivity
 Set performance goals and incentives
 Measure performance
 Predict staffing requirements based on past experience
 Compare shifts, seasons, and stores

The Fast Track PC Software (the Software) is an application that allows your computer to communicate
® ®
with your Fast Track 3000 Series Timer (Fast Track Timer). The Software application allows a user to
®
use a PC as a remote console to operate/program or view the Fast Track Timer or download data for
viewing and analyzing. This manual describes how to install and use the Software application on your
®
personal computer and to communicate with your Fast Track Timer. The PC Software operates on a
®
personal computer (PC) using Microsoft Windows 95 or higher operating system platform.
®
The Software requires an interface between the PC and the Fast Track Timer. This interface may be a
®
cable connecting your PC directly to the RS-232 port of the Fast Track Timer, an Ethernet network
interface card (NIC) using a local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN).

The Timer is a measurement instrument that is only as good as the sensors connected to it for vehicle
detection. Listed below are factors to consider when deciding which type of detection to use:

GROUND LOOPS are strongly recommended for use in drive-thru applications because:
 They detect metal mass ONLY
 Troubleshooting is fairly simple.
 Sensitivity adjustments are easy.
 They are NOT directly exposed to the environment, such as falling rain and snow, leaves blowing
in the wind, pedestrians, animals, etc.
 Careless drivers cannot damage them by bumping into them because there is nothing for
careless drivers to bump into.
 They usually last many years with trouble-free operation.

SONAR SENSORS are not recommended for use in drive-thru applications because:
 They detect ANYTHING that passes in front of them, including but not limited to falling rain and
snow, leaves blowing by in the wind, pedestrians, animals, insects, employees hanging their
hands or food containers out the window, etc.
 They are usually directly exposed to the environment and any movement in their field of view
activates the output, which effects whatever is connected to the output (drive-thru timers, POS,
order-confirmation systems, etc.
 They are usually surface mounted and can be easily broken or misaligned by a collision from
careless drivers.
 The initial material and labor costs of installing a sonar sensor are comparable to the initial costs
of installing a ground loop. In the very likely event a sonar sensor must be replaced long before a
ground loop must be replaced, the total cost of the sonar sensor will exceed that of the ground
loop.

1.1 PC System Requirements

 The Fast Track PC Download and Remote Control Software application.
 A Personal Computer:
®
o Windows * 2000 or XP. note-if you are using Windows 7 or Vista, please see document
“Installing Fast Track Software on Windows 7 and Vista”
o 133Mhz Pentium or greater
o Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0 or higher
o 32 Mb of RAM
o At least 65Mb of free hard disk space (additional space is required for data download)
o USB port

®
One or more Fast Track 3000 Series Timer.
 One or more of the following types of interface for communication:
o RS-232 cable
o Network Interface Card

1.3 General
®
The Fast Track 3000 Series Timer operates automatically with a minimum of operator attention, updating
the data on its Activity screen through Remote Control and Remote Displays, and downloading regularly
scheduled automatic reports.

2 Principles of Operation
A fully functional Fast Track Timer system is comprised of several components:

 Main Console
 Remote Display (or LCD if using DTIS)
 Cashier Window Loop (if applicable)
 Pick-up Window Loop

Additionally, in order to function properly, the Fast Track Timer System relies on input from:

 Customer Furnished Audio Communication System

 Menu Board Loop / Detector

Figure 1 - Single Lane Example

Note: The Figure above shows an example of a typical single lane drive-thru. The Fast Track Timer can
virtually be configured for any other restaurant setup. (See Appendix)

Caution: Operating a one window Fast Track Timer in a two-window store without an event
measurement at the cashier window (first window), can result in inconsistent and inaccurate readings of
both line times and car counts. An event that is not measured during a cars movement through the drive-
thru lane distorts measurement of actual time between events and can lead to excessive Drive-Offs.
Having both, higher and lower than actual times can be recorded under the following scenarios.

2.1 Sample Normal Timing Sequence

The Main Console’s interface with the customer-furnished Intercom and Vehicle Detector allows the Timer
to detect a vehicle that has been greeted via Intercom upon arrival at the
Menu Board. Window Loops allow the Timer to detect the car’s arrival at and departure from
the cashier and service window and/or other detection points. For simplicity, the following sequence of
events assumes that there are Loops at the Cashier Window and Pick-Up Window (See Figure 1):

Event 1. A vehicle arrives at the Menu Board where the Loop detects its presence. A VEHICLE
PRESENCE SIGNAL is sent by the Vehicle Detector to the Main Console which starts the timing
sequence.

Event 2. An employee keys the Intercom microphone to greet the customer. The employee’s voice
generates a GREET CANCEL signal that is sent to the Main Console which records the time as the
GREET time.

Event 3. When the vehicle departs from the Menu Board deactivating the Menu Board Loop the
VEHICLE PRESENCE SIGNAL discontinues. The Main Console interprets the time as the MENU time.

Event 4. When the vehicle arrives at the Cashier Loop, a VEHICLE PRESENCE SIGNAL is sent to the
Main Console. The Main Console interprets the time as WAIT time.

Event 5. When the vehicle departs from the cashier's window deactivating the Cashier Loop the
VEHICLE PRESENCE SIGNAL discontinues. The Main Console interprets the time as the CASHIER
time.

Event 6. When the vehicle arrives at the Pick-Up Loop, a VEHICLE PRESENCE SIGNAL is sent to the
Main Console. The Main Console interprets the time as WAIT time.

Event 7. When the vehicle departs from the service window, deactivating the Pick-Up Loop, the
VEHICLE PRESENCE SIGNAL discontinues. The Main Console interprets the time as PICK-UP time.
Additionally the Main Console interprets the time as this customer's TOTAL Line Time.

Figure 2 - Events in the Drive Thru Lane

2.2 Multiple Vehicles

The Timer is capable of keeping track of up to 16 vehicles moving simultaneously through each drive-thru
lane. The Timer can track the progress of each vehicle independently, accurately noting when each car
moves onto or off a vehicle detection zone.

2.3 Electrical Power

The Timer’s electrical power, supplied by an external transformer, is always left on. The transformer is
connected to a 110 VAC power outlet.
WHEN POWER RETURNS AFTER ANY INTERRUPTION, THE FAST TRACK ® 3000 SERIES TIMER
TESTS ITSELF AND ANY ATTACHED REMOTE DISPLAYS.
When power is applied, the Remote Display(s) powers on and shows its numerical address. The Remote
Display(s) then shows digits counting down from 9 to 0 and beeps during the process, allowing you to
verify that the Display(s) is working properly. Each Remote Display then resumes displaying the elapsed
times and average times for its assigned event. When the timer has completed its boot sequence, the
timer will beep three times.

2.4 LCD Monitor (DTIS only)

If the customer has purchased a DTIS system, a LCD monitor will be required to show the necessary data
to store personnel. The data shown is configured on the 3000 series Timer by the installer following the
completion of the hardware installation.

2.5 Remote Displays

The Remote Displays are 5-by-9 inch modules with three illuminated digits visible on both sides. The
Displays show minutes and seconds to document the time each car spends during key steps in the
ordering and sales process. (When no cars are in the drive-thru, the Displays show the average vehicle
times during the shift or other appropriate time period.)

Figure 3 - Remote Display

A Fast Track ® Timer may have up to six Remote Displays, one standard plus up to five optional. The first
four (address 1- 4) show two types of data: 1) the elapsed time for the event assigned to the Remote
Display, continuously updated during the event; and, 2) the average time for the event computed over the
daypart, shift, day, week, month, or year to date (as selected by the user), after the car leaves the station.
The average time is re-computed after each car leaves the event assigned to the Remote Display, and is
shown by flashing numerals once the event station is no longer occupied.
One to Four Remote Displays May be programmed to:

 Show the elapsed time for a selected event in progress.

 Show the average event time for a selected time period (indicated by flashing mode).
 Show the same information on more than one Display (example: one Remote for your cashier
and customers, and another for your cooks).
 Communicate information through audible beeps (example: a car arrives at a station).

The fifth & sixth addressed Remote Display is a Special Percentage Remote that may be programmed to:
 Show the percentage of cars that satisfy the A-grade target time on any selected event.

 The optional Remote Display setting serves as a special percentage Remote Display that can be
used to monitor speed service, as well as to provide performance incentive for crewmembers.
The percentage Remote Display shows, in either green or red digits, the percentage of cars
satisfying the particular grade’s target time is below a percentage selected by the user; the
Remote Display’s digits will be red. If the percent is equal to or higher than the selected
percentage, the digits will be green. Only the two color Remote Displays have this capability
(older remotes are only a single red color). The percentage Remote Displays will display the A
target only, while the other Remote Displays 1 through 4 will allow you to specify any target grade
you wish.

Time in Minutes and Seconds Displaying Percentage of cars

In A-grade Target

Time in Seconds only

2.5.1 Set Remote Addressing

Depending on what model of the Remote Display the data will be shown either in minute: seconds,
seconds only, or percentage. Time data will be displayed only during the hours the store is open. When
the store is closed, only a colon (:) is shown on the minutes: seconds Remote Display; seconds Remote
Display is blank; and percentage Remote Display shows the percent sign (%) and the number 0.

IF IT IS NECESSARY TO CHANGE A REMOTE DISPLAY’S ADDRESS, USE THE FOLLOWING STEPS:

 Unplug the five-pin DIN connector from the top of the Remote Display and remove the display from
its mounting.

 On the top of the Remote Display is a DIP switch access cover, push the cover to gain access to
the DIP switch. Set the switches according to the address you desire.

 Plug the 5-pin DIN connector back into the Remote Display and verify that it has the correct
address. 


 If it is correct, disconnect the DIN connector, push the DIP switch cover back to its original
position, remount the Remote Display back onto the mounting brackets and then reconnect the
DIN connector.

Figure 4 - Dip Switch Positions

IMPORTANT! While Remote Displays that show the time of the same event can have either the same
or different addresses, if you want two or more Remote Displays to show the time of different
events, each display must be set to a different address.

The address of the Remote is the third digit only of the first number that comes up after you power on the
Remotes, e.g., for example, the address for 275 would be 5; the address for 005 would also be 5. (If the
Display’s address is 001, it will show the time that Remote #1 is programmed to show as indicated on the
Remote Display screen. If a Remote’s address is 002, it will show the time that Remote #2 is programmed to
show, etc.)

2.6 LED Status Lights

The eight LED Status Lights on the Main Console show how customers are moving through your drive-
thru system. Labeled L1 through L8, these lights are activated when their corresponding stations are active
or occupied.
The pattern of the L1...L8 indicator lights on the Console lets you see at a glance where the cars are in your
drive-thru lanes. They also help you make sure that the Timer and its sensors are working together
properly.
Below is an example of what the LED Status Lights might indicate in a store with two drive-thru lanes (“A”
and “B”) and four monitored stations in each lane.

Figure 5 - Typicsl 2 Lane Drive Thru

2.7 Remote Control Keypad

The Keypad, used in Remote Control is your entry to the Timer’s many features and options, allowing you
to access the Timer’s numerous screens and customize its reports and features. Your mouse is used to
activate each key by point and click.
The keys and their basic functions are described below:

Cancel Closes Direct Port Configuration dialog box without updating the configuration file.

4.1.2 Network E3 Configuration

To change Network E3 configuration, click on Config from the Menu Bar and select Network E3
The E3 unit is configured with the following, unless specified at time of order:

IP Address: 192.168.97.96
Gateway: 192.186.97.5
Mask: 255.255.255.0

Use the E3 Locate and Configure Utility to configure all E3

devices. All units to be configured must be on the local network.

When there are multiple units on the network, identify the unit you
need to change by the unique MAC address. The serial number
located on the E3 engine board will match the last 6 characters of
the MAC address.

A search is automatically done as soon as the Network E3 is

launched. Clicking on the Search button will manually search for
any new units added to the network. Once the unit is found you
can configure it by clicking on the Configure button. If more than
one unit found, a list of MAC addresses is displayed to select a
unit from.

The configuration dialog box allows you to set up the IP address, mask, gateway and port settings for
your unit. Once you click OK the unit will reset so the new settings will take affect.

4.1.3 Disconnect Timer

The disconnect Timer feature allows you to create a timeout in
hours or minutes with your session to the Fast Track timer
automatically.

4.2 Site
To edit, delete, or add to the Site Configuration, click
on Site from the Menu Bar

The Site Configuration dialog box lets you add, edit,

®
and remove Fast Track Timer sites from the Site
Name list. Each site can be configured for the type of
connection and the type of reports to create from the
downloaded data. When a new site is added to the
Site Name list a new file folder is created using that
site name. (Example: The site Fast Track Burger will
create a file folder C:\ … \Fast Track Software
Suite\Fast Track Burger). All data that has been
downloaded from this site will be stored in this file
folder. Everything except for the site name can be
edited.

When the Connect Type is selected for Direct, only the Baud
Rate can be edited. The Baud Rate is usually set for Default
and uses the assigned baud rate you selected when the
Direct Port Configuration was configured. Selecting a

Click Parameters in the Unit Parameters window to open Site Parameters.

4.6.1 Store Hours

This will allow you to set your store hours for opening and closing for
each day of the week.
®
The Fast Track Timer only uses these times in fifteen minute
increments and uses AM and PM. When setting the time for store hours
the software will compensate for times such as 6:22 and will
automatically set that value to 06:15 AM. The program will always move
back to the closest fifteen-minute interval. You can use either an A or a P
to designate AM or PM or set the time for 24 hours. An example would
be 6:00p or 18:00 will both give you 06:00PM. If you set the time for
12:00 this will give you 12:00PM and 00:00 will give you 12:00AM. An
entry that you make in which the program cannot interpret will give you
the error message “Bad Open Time Value” or “Bad Close Time Value”.

To set up a store for a 24 hour day set the close time the same as the
open time or type 24hours. You can also select the first day of the week
and the first month of the year for your timer.

To close on a particular day, type close in the open time for the day you
wish to close on.

4.6.2 Dayparts
This allows you to break each day into smaller parts (Dayparts) and is
used to group data for viewing and reporting. Select the day of the week
Sunday through Saturday and then edit the times for your dayparts.

®
The Fast Track Timer only uses these times in fifteen minute
increments and uses AM and PM. When setting the time for Dayparts,
the software will compensate for times such as 6:22 and will
automatically set that value to 06:15 AM. The program will always move
back to the closest fifteen-minute interval. You can use either an A or a P
to designate AM or PM. An example would be 6:00p or 18:00 will both
give you 06:00PM. If you set the time for 12:00 this will give you
12:00PM and 00:00 will give you 12:00AM.

If all of the dayparts are the same for each day you can use the Copy To
feature to copy the same settings to each day. To delete a daypart,
highlight the first daypart you want to remove and click the delete key. All
dayparts that follow will automatically be removed. To add a new
daypart move the cursor to first unused daypart number and enter the
time.

The ending time of each daypart coincides with the starting time of the
next daypart for the same day, though you may use different dayparts for
each day of the week. Daypart 1 always starts at the opening time for the
day, and the last programmed daypart always ends at the closing time
for the day.

4.6.3 Shifts
This allows you to break each day into smaller parts and is used to group
data for viewing and reporting. Select the day of the week Sunday
through Saturday and then edit the times for your shift.
®
The Fast Track Timer only uses these times in fifteen minute
increments and uses AM and PM. When setting the time for store hours
the software will compensate for times such as 6:22 and will
automatically set that value to 06:15 AM. The program will always move
back to the closest fifteen-minute interval. You can use either an A or a P
to designate AM or PM. An example would be 6:00p or 18:00 will both
give you 06:00PM. If you set the time for 12:00 this will give you
12:00PM and 00:00 will give you 12:00AM.
If all of the shifts are the same for each day you can use the Copy To
feature to copy the same settings to each day. To delete a shift, highlight
the first shift you want to remove and click the delete key. All shifts that
follow will automatically be removed. To add a new shift move the cursor
to first unused shift number and enter the time.
The ending time of each shift coincides with the starting time of the next
shift for the same day, though you may use different shifts for each day
of the week. Shift 1 always starts at the opening time for the day, and the
last programmed shift always ends at the closing time for the day.

4.6.4 Targets
This will allow you to create a system of target times, audible indicators,
and letter grades for any or all programmed events. Select the desired
targets (timed events) from the events pull down list. Select the day of
the week and the desired daypart. Select the grade (A, B, C, etc.) for
which you wish to set or change the target time. If you do not want
targeting for a particular event, set the “A” grade target time to zero.
The target time for B must be equal or greater than that for A; the target
time for C must be equal to or greater than that for B; and the same
applies through the entire sequence of letters for grades. The Fast Track
®
Timer adjusts automatically to ensure this.
Pass/Fail grading may be used rather than letter grading: Set all letter
grades except F to the same time – the maximum time allotted to the
event (MENU, GREET, etc.) to achieve a passing grade. For example, if
you want to make 10 seconds the (Pass) time, set A, B, C, and D to a
time of 10 (the selected event must occur within this amount of time in
order to “pass”).
Select Beep for the grade, the Remote Display will beep when the
selected event exceeds the target time you have selected. You may have
your Remote Display repeat the beeps. The Remote Display will sound
two short beeps at your choice of intervals of 2, 5, 10, 15, or 30 seconds
or disable the repeat beep by selecting off.

Click “Copy to All Days” to copy the Event and Daypart target times to
every day of the week (Sunday through Saturday).

Click “Copy to All Dayparts” to copy the Event and Day to all of the Dayparts.

Click “Copy to All” to copy the Event target to all of both the Day and the Dayparts.

4.6.5 Headings
This lets you enter a header. The header information is displayed on the
Header of the reports generated by the Download. See Section 4.15
Download and Section 4.11 Reports. Each line is capable of holding 24
characters (including spaces).

4.7 Printer Options

®
This option is not used in the Fast Track 3000 Series Timer. Since the
Timer has no printing capabilities, none of the selections should be
checked!

4.7.1 Remote Display

This lets you select the type of information that appears on the Remote
(Also See – Section 2.5 Remote Displays and Section 2.5.1 Set Remote
Addressing):

Select the Remote # for the Remote Display you want to program for an
event. Remote #1 corresponds with the Remote Display with address 1
Remote #2 corresponds with the Remote Display with address 2 and so
on, all the way through Remote #4. Using the drop down menu select the
event you want.

If you do not know the number associated with the Remote Display,
remove and reconnect the five-pin DIN connector on top of the Remote
Display. Do not remove the connector by pulling on the gray cable;
remove it by gently pulling on the black casing. This will prevent any
damage that might occur to the cable. This will initialize the Remote
Display and allow for adjusting the volume for the audible tone beep.
When the power is first applied to the Remote Display the first numbers
you will see is how the Remote Display is addressed.

Example: If the Remote Display has 123 displayed, the first digit 1 would
show at which grade the color of the display will change from green to
red and turn on the beeper; the second digit 2 would show at what mode
the Remote Display has, normal counting, show averages only, flash or
no flash, minutes and seconds or seconds only; the third digit 3 would
show what the address of the Remote Display is, this example show the
address of 3.

To program the percentage Remote Display, the address of the Remote Display must be 5 or 6, which is
the third digit displayed when the Remote Display is first powered on. The fifth and sixth line of the
software show Remote followed by a number then a percent sign (%), the number show at which point
the Remote Display will change color. The pull down menu at the right of the percent sign (%) selects the
event to be monitored.

Flash Avg selects the averaging period for all Remote Displays 1 thru 4, except remotes setup for
percent. You may select from the pull down menu Hourly, Dayparts, Shifts, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Alt, or
None. If you select “None”, no averages will be flashed.

4.7.2 Access Code

®
This lets you secure your Fast Track Timer from unauthorized access.
You may assign up to four Access Codes, identified as A, B, C, and D.
An unused access code is displayed as “UNUSED” and a used access
code is displayed as “SET”. When no access code has been set, the
default code is “000000”. Once any of the access codes has been set,
however, the default access code “000000” no longer allows access.

Note: If any or all of the access codes has been changed, you must
change the access code in Site (See – Section 4.2 Site) to match any
access code A – D with the new change. Otherwise, you will receive an
®
“invalid access code” when you try to connect to the Fast Track Timer.

4.7.3 Night Mgr

Night Manager allows you to set up a time period to track particular
events over a period of time, as well as identify problems and their
causes (which is particularly useful for absentee management), to view
®
or print at the Fast Track Timer(printing applies only to 2000 series
timers).

®
The Fast Track Timer only uses these times in fifteen minute
increments and uses AM and PM. When setting the time for store hours
the software will compensate for times such as 6:22 and will
automatically set that value to 06:15 AM. The program will always move
back to the closest fifteen-minute interval. You can use either an A or a
P to designate AM or PM. An example would be 6:00p or 18:00 will both
give you 06:00PM. If you set the time for 12:00 this will give you
12:00PM and 00:00 will give you 12:00AM.

~~ WARNING ~~
The caution box surrounding the check box for Drive-thru Config is a warning to the user that the
®
Fast Track Timer’s data can be distorted when the new configuration of selected box is checked
®
is uploaded to the Fast Track Timer during operational hours. The best time to upload this

4.7.5 Event Labeling

This will allow you to label (up to 8 alpha-numeric characters) your
single station and multi-station events. You can also list the order in
®
which the events are displayed on the Fast Track Timer.

The Name column allows you to customize the way you want your L1 –
L8 single station and/or the M1 – M4 multi station events to appear on
®
your Fast Track Timer’s display. For example instead of L4 event
saying PICK UP you may want to change it to say something else. You
are allowed up to 8 alphanumeric characters including spaces for this
field. However, GREET must always be GREET but you may add 3
more alphanumeric characters after it if you desire.

The List column allows you to list which order you want your L1 – L8
single station and/or the M1 – M4 multi station events to appear on
®
your Fast Track Timer’s display. The order can be arranged in any
fashion but must consecutively begin with the number 1 with no
duplicate number or missing numbers. An ‘X’ is used when the event is
not to be displayed. Caution: if the entry is wrong for the event, the
®
Fast Track Timer will give an error: “L COLUMN NUMBER ERR
NON-CONSECUTIVE”. This error must be corrected for proper Fast
®
Track Timer operation.

The Side column allows you to choose which side the event is for in a two-lane drive-thru. Only one of
®
two entries is allowed for each event ‘A’ or ‘B’. Caution: if no entry is made for the event, the Fast Track
Timer will give an error: “L COLUMN NUMBER ERR NON-CONSECUTIVE”. This error must be corrected
®
for proper Fast Track Timer operation.

The Delay column allows you to set up a delay before the event is activated. This is useful for detection
points that are frequented with traffic not necessarily with the drive-thru. The format is: 0-99 the time in
seconds, or; 2: - 9: the time in minutes. Minutes and seconds cannot be combined.

The Print column allows you to print the event each time it is completed. This option is not used in the

Timer adjusts automatically to ensure this.Pass/Fail grading may be used rather than letter grading: Set all
letter grades except F to the same time – the maximum time allotted to the event (MENU, GREET, etc.) to
achieve a passing grade. For example, if you want to make 10 seconds the (Pass) time, set A, B, C, and D
to a time of 10 (the selected event must occur within this amount of time in order to “pass.”).

14. Click: to move the field immediately to the left of the B (beep) column field.

15. Click: or to set the beep count for the grade you have chosen. The Remote

IMPORTANT!
While Remote Displays that show the time of the same event can have either the same or different
addresses, if you want two or more Remote Displays to show the time of different events, each
display must be set to a different address. The address of the Remote is the third digit only of the first
number that comes up after you power on the Remotes, e.g., for example, the address for 275 would be 5;
the address for 005 would also be 5. (If the Display’s address is 001, it will show the time that Remote #1
is programmed to show as indicated on the Remote Display screen. If a Remote’s address is 002, it will
show the time that Remote #2 is programmed to show, etc.)

 This file can be built automatically in 2 different ways, either onboard scheduler or ACL
 In the site configuration, Auto Update must be checked.

SITE This is the site name; the data that follow a site name belongs to that site.

RECORD This is a record number; the timer uses this number to track record to download.
This number can reach 131,999 in the E3 system.

DATE This is the date that the event occurred on, and is always month/day/year.

DAYPART# Timed events (events with elapse times) are logged with the current Daypart number

SHIFT# Timed events (events with elapse times) are logged with the current shift number

TMSTMP This is a time stamp, when an event has completed it is time stamped to the second.

S The Fast Track can time 2 independent drive-thru simultaneously, in that case the S
column would identify which drive-thru (Side A, or Side B) the event had occurred in.
certain events are not relative to the drive-thru lane, in that case, the column is left blank

E# This is a number that identifies an input, which in-turn identifies the event name. The
naming of an event can change such as “WINDOW” or “WIN2 “but the number stays the
same.

EVENT This event name has been configured in the timer.

ETM This is how long in seconds, the car spent at that event or elapsed time for that event.

G This grade (A, B, C, D or F) was given to that event once it was completed.

5 Analyzing Data
®
Fast Track Timer helps you operate your drive thru store more efficiently and profitably by tracking the
progress of customer vehicles through the ordering and delivery process. The Software helps
management and staffs use this information to:

 Analyze service time.

 Improve productivity.
 Set performance goals and incentives.
 Measure performance.
 Predict staffing requirements based on historical data.
 Compare shifts, seasons, and stores.

The Software’s standard preformatted reports present information in a convenient format for analysis.
You may use these reports to see how your drive-thru is performing and to compare current and historical
performances.

The Software report files are ASCII files that you can import into spreadsheets, database, and/or word
processing programs for further presentation and analysis. Two examples of how you might use the
Software report files:

 Presentation – Import a Software file into MS-Excel and produce an attractively formatted report
to add special calculations and highlight important data. MS-Excel can also present the data in
chart form.

 Database – Create a MS-Access data base application that adds Software file data to its
database. Use the MS-Access reporting features to produce special reports that compare
performances of multiple locations.

5.1 Archive Report

The Archive Report is used to compare the event counts for current periods to those of previous periods.

5.6 On Demand Reports

The On Demand Reports or ODR creates Dayparts or Daily reports just like
the ones created from the Fast Track printer. This allows the user a quick
way to view their data with a minimal amount of mouse clicks.
On Demand Reporting can be used in three different ways:
 ODR can be used through the Fast Track Software Suite from the
Reports function.
 ODR can run on the fly by just running the batch programs.
 ODR batch programs can be scheduled to run from a 3 party
rd

scheduler. This will allow for reports to be automatically viewed on

the screen without any user intervention.
The install process installs the twelve batch files into your Fast Track
Software Suite folder.

ODR_DAYPART1.BAT ODR_DAYPART7.BAT
ODR_DAYPART2.BAT ODR_DAYPART8.BAT
ODR_DAYPART3.BAT ODR_DAILY.BAT
ODR_DAYPART4.BAT REPORTS.BAT
ODR_DAYPART5.BAT REMOTE.BAT
ODR_DAYPART6.BAT REMOTE
CONTROL.BAT

These batch programs may be run from the Fast Track Software Suite
folder or from the shortcuts on your desktop.

To use an ODR for Daypart 1 for an example, click on the

ODR_DAYPART1.BAT program. The program will start to run, connect to
the first site you created within the Site function. It will then proceed to
download the data and then create a report, then sending it to print preview
for viewing (see sample). You may now print the report to your local printer
or discard it after viewing. The printer prints a report similar to report
created on the timer’s printer.
If there is more than one site listed under the Site function, the site that was
created first will be the only site reports can be retrieved from using any of
the ODR Daypart batch or ODR Daily batch files. Reports.bat can create
reports from any unit listed in your sites. The Reports.bat function is the
same as the Reports function within the software.

Remote and Remote Control batch programs can connect with any timer
Daily Report Sample
that is listed in your Sites. Remote Control can give you full timer control
using the virtual keypad while Remote only lets you view without any interaction.

6 Importing to Excel
This section will outline on how to import a Fast Track® data file to Microsoft Excel. However the steps
used in this outline could be used to import the data into most data base or spreadsheet type programs.

1. From Microsoft Excel click on File from the Menu bar and select Open. An Open window will
appear in the body of the Excel screen.
2. Located at the bottom in the Open window, select from the Files of Type drop down box “All Files
(*.*)”.
3. Locate the *.E_R report that you created, usually the report when created is located in a sub-
folder within the Fast Track program file folder, and open.

NOTE: When creating the report, make sure you have checked the “Use Commas” box prior to
creating it. (See – Section 4.11 Reports) Then Save the report. The Use Commas acts
as a separator to place the data in the appropriate fields in the spreadsheet.

When you have selected

the report, the Text Import
Wizard will appear. Select
under “Original data type”
Delimited and for “File
origin” 437 : OEM United
States.

The next Text Import Wizard screen, check only

the Comma box for “Delimiters”.

To save the file click on File from the Menu bar and select Save. A new window will open asking you if
you would like to keep the existing format. Choose “NO” and save the file.
