Troubleshooting

Trimming Turf

To trim matted down turf, simply use a sharp pair of scissors and cut away matted turf at an angle as shown below. Once holes are trimmed, clear any remaining debris using a vacuum.

Trimming Turf

Simulator stops registering shots

Step 1 – Make sure overhead light is on and shining over the sensors.

Step 2 – If E6Golf is running Exit and Restart E6Golf. In the process of Exiting  or after Launching E6Golf if a TruTrac Dialogue window appears (“TruTrac golf club sensors are completely covered or the overhead light is not turned on. Please refer to the manual for more information.”) Select OK. Check for any sensors that are being blocked these will be highlighted in red.

Optical Sensor

Step 3 – Clear any debris from sensors. Over time turf may become matted down, trim turf around the affected sensors (see Trimming Turf section). Adjust overhead light until all sensors are working correctly.

Step 4 – If all sensors are clear and working, Launch Practice Area and then select DRIVING RANGE to hit a few test shots. If still not registering shots continue to the next step.

Step 5 – Exit E6Golf. Double Click the SIM ACOUSTIC shortcut on the Desktop. Test each microphone by clapping about 1 foot away from each microphone. If one or more microphone sensors are nonresponsive check the connections on the microphone and then on the sensor board to make sure they are all tightly connected. Each connection should be joined together and then tightened with a half twist.

Step 6 – Power cycle the sensor board: (usb) unplugging the usb from the board and plug it back in or (serial) unplug the power supply from the board and then plug it back in.

Step 7 – Launch E6Golf and then Launch the Practice Area > select DRIVING RANGE to hit a few test shots. If still not registering shots contact Customer Support.
