The description and the operation manual

The program is developed for bobsled for exact timing with automatic distribution of places and sorting on classes. A format of time XXX,xx (Sec,ms), and results 10,24 or 1024. Sportsmen, naturally, will start on one and overtaking is not possible.

Timing by means of the mouse and keyboards or automatically with light valves.

 

For the beginning works it is necessary to open the created starting list Startlist.txt or the kept report. Columns of the report will have names, as the first line in a text file.

The starting list is desirable for making in Excel and to keep as a text file or at once to write in a text file (given to divide{share} the tabulator).

On the program display there is the best time of a distance and time of the timer or actual time of the participant. Buttons: the Timer, Start, Stop To bring and 00:00 (Dump), to load the starting list or the report of competitions, to open the new report (to remove all data), to keep as…, a print, an output on the TV, export of results in Word, in Excel and to keep as web-page.

At export to the table, Excel should be closed. For export of results Protokollvorlage.doc and xls should be in the same folder, where also the program.

 

After a stop of a stop watch it is possible to decide to enter time in the minutes or not. At click on „00:00“ time is not brought (false start / failure{accident}). If near "To bring" it is noted CheckBox time will automatically enter the name in the report in 5 seconds.

CheckBox near „Änderungen vornehmen“ for change data of the participant in the report, but not time.

Click of the right mouse in the report it is possible «To remove noted line», «To add a new line in the end of the report» and «EL», i.e. participation is not possible further.

 

To make changes, take the necessary cell{cage} and click in it{her} 2 times of mice or press big Enter a key. By means of PFEIL keys it is possible to move quickly from a cell to a cell.

 

After closing the program the archival file of results of competitions which is loaded at new start is automatically created.

 

The stop watch should work correctly under all operational systems Windows (excepting a television output because of various television cards).

The program should not be installed and at once can be started from a hard disk. You can place the registrar (a folder with files) anywhere on a computer. Remove „protection against record" if you copied the program from CD.

 

You should test carefully the test version before the important competitions and learn operate well it.

Not registered version of the test version of the program can stop only a few times. After reception of a registration code no money are compensated any more. It is not authorized to give, sell or borrow{lend} the program to other person. But you can to make, certainly, copies, to distribute the test version without a code of activation and to recommend it further.

Explanations to the program and competitions

Participants will start all one after another in sequence of registration (classes can be mixed).

The first page of the report is a starting list and preliminary arrivals.

If the page is filled, at transition to the second page it automatically generates results are a sample of two best arrivals of three and their sum, and on them a place depending on a class.

The third page creates the starting list for the ending sorted on classes and places. In the ending take part{participate} a maximum 10 person from each class and all is obligatory masters who are noted by a sign «+».

Now everyone go 2 more times (all over again youth, then light weight, then ladies and, at last, men from 70 kg). They are started in each class upside-down, that is all over again last place. Time from preliminary competition also is considered. That winner, at whom the lowest time of 4 considered passes in the general addition.

The final list of results also is represented in the form of the evident list.

If final time at two participants will be absolutely identical, that against whom will win less time of one of arrivals.

 

Example of the report after preliminary descent{release}:

 

Start-No

Name

Surname

Sports club

Class

Master

1. Time

2. Time

3. Time

Xxxx5

Xxxxx

Xxxxx

Xxxxx / Xxxxx

X

+

XXX,xx

 

 

 

Examples of starting classes:

1.    Young men;

2.    Ladies;

3.    Misters;

4.    Men 70kg +.

 

Attention! In this program numerical values are standard entered without a comma or a point.

Really possible time of descent{release} from 19,00 till 59,99 seconds. The sum of all of 4 passes will make approximately 75,00 - 240,00 seconds, but in the report will enter the name 7500 or 24000. If the participant for any reason is removed, to it{him} enters the name on 9999 that it{he} did not become the winner with the small sum.

Title line for an additional output on TV/Monitor, Word and on-line results.

Since columns can be very long because of surnames of participants, names of sports clubs and settlements it is recommended print out results in a horizontal format.

 

After preliminary starts the following starting list sorts the strongest in the beginning, and in the ending on the contrary (all over again the slowest). At click on the name of a column "Place" it is possible to sort in other sequence.

 

It is recommended to keep pages of the report after the ending of arrivals before the beginning of new passes to not lose data and at what only as a text file that it could be loaded again.

With Pentium133 time correctly shows. On older computers we have not tested.

 

Whether it is possible to load the written down report again?

It is possible to load into the report only a text file.

 

Whether changes during timing are possible?

No. Wait before the ending.

 

Whether changes in the report can be made?

Yes, but only that you can. Time of the participant not in the program, but only in TXT, Word, Excel.
