The settings primarily control how raw timing data should be handled by RACE RESULT 14.

Timing Points - Each raw data record should be assigned to a timing point which identifies where it was recorded, for example the START, FINISH or your Split Timing Points on course.

Chip File - A chip file helps to identify to which participant a raw data record should be assigned. 

Start Times / Finish Time Limits - The official start time (T0) to be used for timing the race, this is used by your Splits or Special Results setup to calculate race times. Optionally, a maximum time can be set.

Exporters / Forwarding - Trigger the sending of e-mails / SMS or  to export/forward data to third party platforms if required.
