Step-By-Step Instructions

  • Install/open the Dashr app on your phone or tablet. (Create an account here if you have not already)
  • Once your laser(s) is registered (see video above), navigate to the Pro-Agility drill from the home page.
  • Select Silver to take you to the connection page.
  • Each Silver laser comes on a mini tripod angled up. Take one out of the case and place it on the ground where you are running the drill. Place the Silver laser on the ground and point it down the line you wish to time off of. Ensure that you have a 10 yard space for the drill along with an appropriate run-out space.
  • Power it on with a USB battery/cable.
  • With the laser on, select the start/split/finish laser from the drop-down menu and press the โ€œConnectโ€ button. If it does not work the first time, repeat. See video below for reference, Silver connection and operation is very similar to Blue.
  • The laser will flash blue and now you are connected.
  • If you are using a display or the RFID system, connect those as well.
  • If you are checking in athletes and automatically saving their results, you can select the appropriate roster so that you are not having to load all of your athletes.
  • When you are ready, press the “Start Testing” button.
  • Check in the appropriate athlete (details here) – optional.
  • With QuickRun on, get set while in the gate, after 3 sec of blocking the laser you will get a “Go!” message. Leave the laser when you want (time will turn blue – indicating that timing is taking place), and you get a result when you cross the gate again.
  • With QuickRun off (option in settings) you will see โ€œSetโ€ and โ€œResetโ€ buttons to give you control of when a test starts. Press “Set” once the athlete is ready to take off – then you will get the “Go!” message. Press “Reset” to clear the time for the next athlete.

Step-By-Step Instructions

  • Install batteries in each laser you plan to use.
  • Install/open the Dashr app on your phone or tablet. (Create an account here if you have not already)
  • Register each laser in the app – Navigate to the “Device Registration” button at the bottom, power on the lasers one at a time and select them from the “Available” list and assign them a number. Write that number on your laser. (This only has to be done the first time you use the laser with this phone/tablet)
  • Return to the home menu and select Pro-Agility.
  • Screw the laser onto a taller tripods, positioned so that the beam is around hip height.
  • Screw a reflector onto a matching tripod and position laser and reflectors across from each other (~6 ft) to create a line to pass through. Instructions here.
  • If you are starting out of a 3-point stance (common in football), you can set up an additional gate on a set of mini tripods for the athlete’s hand – when the hand moves the clock starts (optional).
  • With the laser(s) on, select the appropriate laser(s) from the drop-down menu and press the “Connect” button. If it does not work the first time, repeat.
  • Once all devices are connected, press the “Start Testing” button.
  • Check in the appropriate athlete (details here) – optional.
  • With QuickRun on, get set while in the gate, after 3 sec of blocking the laser you will get a “Go!” message. Leave the laser when you want (time will turn blue – indicating that timing is taking place), and you get a result when you cross the gate again.
  • With QuickRun off (option in settings) you will see โ€œSetโ€ and โ€œResetโ€ buttons to give you control of when a test starts. Press “Set” once the athlete is ready to take off – then you will get the “Go!” message. Press “Reset” to clear the time for the next athlete.
Dashr is so much more
than a laser timer.

More than state-of-the-art testing equipment, Dashr is an ecosystem that connects your athletes, teams, equipment and outside software like nothing else.
