PACEFIG_2F_INLAST
The Bris or TSN E1 Pace Fig from the most recent running line.

PACEFIG_4F_INLAST
The Bris or TSN E2 Pace Fig from the most recent running line.

A more correct set of factor names might be LastLineE1 and LastLineE2. As odd as this is going to sound to some of you, the names "PACEFIG_2F_INLAST" and "PACEFIG_4F_INLAST" are leftovers from a time (~1996) when I first started writing a program to deal with Bris pace figs. Pace figs were brand new to me then. Before that I had always used my own version of adjusted time from various (correct) points of call. My first pace fig algorithm dealt with sprint races and I actually thought the E1 and E2 pace fig points of call used by Bris were at 2f and 4f for both sprints and routes... which is not the case.

The names "PACEFIG_2F_INLAST" and "PACEFIG_4F_INLAST" are based on that misconception.

Changing the factor names in the program is something I've always wanted to go back and address. But it would take programming time as well as time to comb through and edit the docs.

Other projects have more priority. So for the forseable future the names "PACEFIG_2F_INLAST" and "PACEFIG_4F_INLAST" aren't going to change.
