Description

The program of timing for races on one or 2 paths. An electronic or manual chronometer.
It is programmed for 3 light valves: 1 x start and 2 x finish.
After start stop watches run for both paths. Not important, who the first passes the starting light valve, time simultaneously starts to run for both!

It is possible to open the created starting list and to choose participants. At a program window there is an actual date and time, 2 displays of time of a format XXX,xx (seconds), and also the report of results.

The stop watch works correctly under all operational systems Windows.
You can test the test version carefully before you buy {purchase} it {her}. After reception of a registration code of money are not compensated any more. The bought {purchased} version cannot be given, buy, be transferred or be borrowed {transmitted or be borrowed; transferred or be lent; transmitted}. But you can to do {make}, certainly, to a copy and to transfer {transmit} the test version without a key of activation and to recommend it {her} further.

Manual on timing and to carrying out of races by rules DSKD

Each driver has starting number for all races. Number, a name and a class need to be brought in the table. The table is made for 14 days prior to the beginning of race. However, probably, that the starting list needs to be changed in short term if, for example, someone, is declared, but is not.

In day of race all drivers share on two groups.

1. Arrival
The first 2 drivers, for example, starting number 101 / a path 1 and 102 / a path 2, go on start. The starter actuates the starting device on a platform. "Soap boxes" slide freely and simultaneously the stop watch corresponding{meeting} contact will start for both paths. In the end on finish they cross each light beam and time stops for each path. After times have written down also manually (under the instruction), hours are again established{installed} on zero and will start the following 2 drivers. It proceeds so, until then while cars will pass all (on the average from 80 up to 120 pieces).

At the second arrival participants vary paths (101/2 and 102/1).
Finish only on the path.

The analysis of competitions depends on weather. The different quantity{amount} of arrivals is estimated{appreciated} on a miscellaneous.

For example:
6 arrivals: 1-2 = trial arrivals, and 3, 4, 5 and 6 are estimated{appreciated}.
5 arrivals: 1 is a control arrival, 2 - 5 will be estimated{appreciated}
4 arrivals: there is no trial arrival and all arrivals are estimated{appreciated}
3 arrivals: 1 is a trial arrival, 2 and 3 are estimated{appreciated}
2 arrivals: there is no trial arrival and all arrivals are estimated{appreciated}
1 arrival - very bad weather then race cannot be estimated{appreciated}
Apparently the analysis is not so simple and should be made therefore after race manually. Besides it is necessary to divide{share} still various classes (junior, senior and elite). It was possible to divide{undresse} classes but then it is necessary to work with 3 various tables and still{even} to be switched during arrivals.

The table is sorted on classes: starting number, a surname, a name and a place.
For a press{seal} of letters from Word it is necessary to divide{undresse} surnames on behalf of as there the name faces to a surname.

Questions and answers

Whether the participant can leave competitions?
It is possible, for example, at failure{accident}. Then the judge should have an opportunity to enter manually maximal time.

Whether it is possible to change a path during driving?
No, it is forbidden very strictly. Certainly, there are penal seconds for drivers who will pass a median (an average line). Here there is an opportunity to modify time manually after finish.

Whether can stir{prevent} other programs to the program?
Yes. Timing in a computer has the highest priority, but it is not recommended to start other programs during timing. Also do not press, please, any other keys during timing.

Whether it is possible to use an old personal computer?
From Pentium133 time correctly shows. On older computers we did not test.

Whether it is possible to load the kept report again?
It is possible to load into the program again the report of competitions kept only as a text file.
