Chronoport 2.0 Software
Chronoport 2.0 Software for Chronoskop CHR-8 Timegraphers v8.2 and higher
The Timegrapher Chronoskop CHR-9 is an electronic measuring and testing device for the production, repair and service of mechanical watches. All information taken from the measurement are displayed on the illuminated graphic display. The Timegrapher enables acoustic measurements as well as light barrier measurements with the external light barrier sensor. The target rate can be determined automatically, selected manually or individually set and saved.
The acoustic measurement can be realized by the built-in piezo microphone. To decouple acoustic noise, the piezo microphone plate is mounted on a 5 mm thick foam. The signal gain can be adjusted with the rotary knob. To measure the rate of a watch or a small watch, place the watch on the piezo microphone.
The measurement results are displayed on the illuminated touch display in 4 ways:
You can switch between different display modes during the measurement.
Thanks to the built-in headphone jack, you can directly listen to the clock work. The device also has a PC USB interface, microphone input, an external sensor and active microphone input, a microphone sensitivity control knob, a contrast adjustment knob, and a touch pen slot.
The multilingual menu navigation in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian and Polish guides you easily and clearly through the functions.
With the headphone jack you can directly listen to the operation of a clock. With calibration using the radio signal DCF77 from the atomic clock in Mainflingen an accuracy up to few seconds per year is achieved, which otherwise would be only realized with great technological effort.
The use of the latest microcontroller electronics realized with modern SMD technology allows a compact solution (about 9cm x 9cm x 4cm) which gives the device manageability. It is easy to transport and can be used in battery mode as mobile.

The device is equipped with a built-in piezo microphone that allows an acoustic measurement of watches. For decoupling of the disturbances, the piezoelectric disc is supported on a foam. The device filters the noise digitally. Due to the high sensitivity surrounding noise should be still avoided. A knob lets you adjust the sensitivity of the piezoelectric microphone.
The optical measurement with the external light barrier sensor is used to measure pendulum clocks. As well as the clock pendulum interrupts the light beam of the transmitter diode, the receiver diode receives a pulse. The light barrier also allows the measurement directly on the minute clock hand. To do this, place the light barrier so that the pointer passes through the light barrier during the hourly cycles. In this way, a measurement of up to 8 hours is possible.
With the software “CHRONO PORT 2.0” you can follow, print and save the measurement directly on the PC. All data are constantly sent to the computer and displayed as numerical values and graphics. Direct data transmission makes the entire measurement represented in a movable endless graphic window. The recognition of the ports happens automatically. Once the device is connected, the connection appears as “Connected”. The language of the software (English, German and Polish) can always be changed in the menu. Measurements can be saved as a measurement report and reopened and printed later. The report of the measurement is summarized on a sheet of A4 paper. The software can be installed on the computer (2 MB), but can also start from the disc.
System requirements: MS Windows 98 and higher. The device also works without a PC.
Due to an adjustment by the radio signal DCF77 with the atomic clock in Mainflingen an accuracy of up to a few seconds per year can be achieved. Calibration of the internal quartz works via comparison with the atomic clock in Mainflingen near Frankfurt. The time signal is broadcast over the radio signal. DCF77 is a longwave emitted over time signal. DCF77 is broadcast on the normal frequency of 77.5 kHz as time information in coded form. It has a range of about 2000 km around Frankfurt / Main or Mainflingen. In DCF77 signal the time information the next minute is coded. The DCF77 signal is the definition of the “right time” of Germany. The instrument is supplied calibrated. Once the measurements in comparable temperatures take place (for example, at the same room temperature), a new calibration is not necessary. ATTENTION! The reception of the signal is dependent on location and is outside Germany not guaranteed! The DCF77 receiver is not inevitably included and may have to be ordered.
The frequency of the clocking oscillator of the device may vary slightly depending on the ambient room temperature. This is not relevant when the measurement takes place in stable room temperature, but in order to ensure maximum accuracy, the internal oscillator is heated and its temperature is kept constant. This compensates the temperature variations of the resonator frequency. This guarantees the highest stability of the resonator.
DCF77 Radio Reciver for resonator calibration
The crocodile microphone is to be clipped to the watch case. Especially suitable for measuring mechanisms of large clocks. Very good decoupling from the ambient noise.
With our location in microphone, you have the ability to measure a watch in any location. The clock is fixed with four sliders which are each fixed with a knurled screws. The position microphone is equipped with tripod thread to be mounted on a tripod (tripod is not included). Also, be aware to chose a tripod that holds the weight of the microphone and the clock. Our company is not liable for damages caused by falls of the microphone. Visible in the photo clock and is not part of the position microphone.
External Light Barrier Sensor lets you measure pendulum clocks directly.
We assumed the activity in 2006 as PRELIS Electronic in Germany. Initially, the company was engaged in design, production and sale of timegraphers – electronic devices used to measure the accuracy of mechanical clocks (see: Chronoskop). Soon our activity extended on application of intelligent electronic solutions based on microcontroller electronic.
After moving the business to the Poland in 2015 as a consequence of merger with ML-IT company we transformed into the current form – Lisit.net. At the same time our range of services expanded for broad services in the IT industry.
All timegraphers are soldered and assembled by hand in Germany and in Poland.

Switching from the Chronoport 1.0 to Chronoport 2.0, an upgrade of the hardware is necessary, which must be made by us.
DO I NEED TO DCF77 RECEIVERS?
Each appliance that leaves our house is calibrated prior to shipping. Recalibration is not necessary for measurements. Would still perform a new calibration, however, please order the optional DCF77 receiver.
CAN MICROPHONES THIRD PARTY BE CONNECTED?
When using the appropriate adapter to 3.5mm jack, it is possible to use piezoelectric microphones from other manufacturers, as they are not operated or reinforced with its own power supply. Due to large range of third-party, we can not offer an adapter for connection.
HOW LONG CAN THE MAXIMUM LENGTH MEASUREMENT / INTEGRATION TIME BE?
Our Geraet recorded maximum 65,000 strokes in the measurement. The maximum measurement time (and hence also the integration time) shall be determined from the stroke rate. In a Schagzahl of 18000, the maximum integration time is thus 65000/1800 = 36,1h. With deactivated integration to measure only the last 5 seconds are considered.
WHY DO I SOMETIMES DIFFERENT RESULTS IN TWO SUCCESSIVE FOLLOWING MEASUREMENTS?
As a result of the measurement is, when switched integration time, the current measured value, or with activated time integration, the measured value, which is averaged over the total duration of the measurement. Note, however, that the transition of a clock, for example, in the first minute is different from the next. If the measurement result is near an ideal clock, it can even mean different signs of the measurement result. This behavior can be observed on the graphical representation of measuring well. In these cases, a longer measurement is needed which provides a stable average value is necessary.
CAN VALUES AS PRESSURE, ENVIRONMENTAL TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY IN THE MEASUREMENT BE INVOLVED?
No. A development in this regard is, however, contemplated.
