When you plug the Telemetry box to the computer Pc Lap Counter can use it as a S/F line detector, get the lap time and also get the throttle level of your SCP controller, for more information on the Telemetry box please visit www.slot.it.
To allow software like Pc Lap Counter to read the data from the Telemetry Box by using a virtual COM port you need to install special driver from Slot.it, actually the special driver is not yet officially released by slot.it so at this moment Pc Lap Counter for Telemetry box will not work.
