Test the program. A picture says more than a thousand words!

Ideas for the program (requirements)

Single start - one by one after a certain time interval with a timer;
Mass or group start - start at the same time two or more participants.

Startup mode - in which single start point, the participants select (highlight), which will start;
Finish Mode - Participants number in the combo box enter the next grade comes and the other (separated by commas without spaces. With negative if no number.).

The times on the display:
Above, the start time from 00:00;
Below:
a) at startup mode - the time of the timer, or nothing if the timer is not activated;
b) the target mode - in which each start, the time of the latest start-up (first in the protocol) select a mass start and the stop at the time of the last.

The time of the subscriber number is logged without always right.
For both start for the correct operation of the program you must load the entry list, where it should be 6 columns by default, and the first is filled with the starting numbers.
Start with the individual, the combo boxes for selection or input can be done by hand.
Before the START-click you have to type the number or choose any number since the program's start time (SPLIT by First assigns). Otherwise, the time is written in the protocol with negative and must be changed because the number by hand.
The destination number is entered in the short text field. If the group enters, their number in the long field entered by the comma. Runner without number to "-" (minus) have. E.g.: 44,652,-,77. This test only works if!
The serious and intractable problem for the timing with light barriers can arise in the target group or the accidental contact.
When the target group, the sensor will not work correctly and the time is corrected manually by using the helper or the video recordings.

Time calculation

In the single start at number:
"The target time" - "start time" = time of the participant.

No number:
It is recorded with the stopped time of the negative sequence number (-1, -2, -3 ...). During the public allocation and with the push of the enter key, the time the participant is calculated.
In the mass start time is also recorded in sequence with the numbers or with the negative numbers. The helper is to write down starting number of the participant, who came to the finish line without a number and make the correction in the small log.
All race numbers, which have started will be visible in the lower combo box. All that have entered into the target disappear from this combo box and there will keep only those who have died or have no number. This test only works if!
Timer is also available in the mass start. For example, start at 10:00. Start timer at 09:59:30 ... and GO!

Task

Consecutive tee times for single starts
E.g. Number 1 starts at 00:00 (minutes: seconds), press>> Start button and starting time hold, time is going on, select next race number, press the start button, start time of 01:20 to hold, etc.
Switching to Finish mode:
Choose a starting number, Stop button on mouse / button or sensor run run; next target runners, select race number, Stop button on mouse or a light barrier, take and pass the stopped times in Excel spreadsheet.

Description

The stopwatch is designed specifically for sports, where several participants start one by one with the time interval (Roller Sports, biathlon, mountain biking, skiing, wind surfing ... or mass, as in the marathon, triathlon, cycling ...) and best single come to the finish.
Two 8-digit digital displays for current and Endzeituhr. Time format: 1 / 100 sec, 1 / 10 sec or 1 sec
Logging: space, start number, end time, split (time = distance of first difference).
Save as a text file, MS Word document, Excel spreadsheet or as a website. Open in Excel and Access convert. The Clock is operated by hand (mouse or keyboard) or automatically by sensors.
Button places recalculate "(after the manual correction) Click before saving.
The program will function correctly under all Windows operating systems with MS Office. The software does not need to install and can be started from the disk. Program size is about 0.5 MB and can even fit on a floppy disk.
The unregistered shareware version has only couple of stopping times for testing.
Technical changes have no impact on the quality and general features are reserved for the purposes of progress. The program can be customized for you.

Participants may also be placed to the classes.
Because the sensors do not separate into multiple simultaneous goal coming athletes, it would be desirable at the same time with this program to use the video recording, where you can determine the regime of the break, the consistency fairly accurate and contributes the necessary corrections to the minutes.
The program is possible to connect two different sensors for start and end 7 4 +6 +8. Then went on the market more than one round can, it is built against the accidental or unwanted contact in the program's hand blocking the sensors. When overhaul is done on the target, we must correct the number in the log manually. For the record, or accidental triggering of the beam, you can delete the row with the right mouse button. This test only works if!

Since the participants may lose the race number, the time will still be required, shall be used for triggering the beam or the push of the button instead of the number -1, -2, -3, etc. to record, ie with the minus and the red font for the difference. To eliminate the gross errors in the group it would be desirable to build the intake gates. Someone should dictate the number on the target, and a contest judge, they enter into the cells or to fill the minutes after the conclusion of the competition.
The sorting of the columns you can make with the click on the column name.
The column names take your name from the entry list (eg for English).

Settings and work with the program

Connect the sensors to the available USB (via USB-to-COM converter - adapter) or COM port and restart the program.
Open the "Settings" of the program and select COM port and the algorithm of connecting / event of:
___ / ____ (Off = no contact),
________ (A = there is contact in the chain). Try using the "COM-Test" to understand algorithm.
If you do not need timers, set "0".
Select "Single" or "mass".
The fields for entering the code for activating the full version of the program (first user name or club type, then click "Order").
The start switch is not connected to the contacts COM-4 +6 Portes of the computer. The target sensor is connected to the terminals 7 +8. The sensors must be placed at the height of the breast to avoid unnecessary contacts from the legs or arms.
The seller and the producers of the sensors can be found on our web - page under "Support".
Starter list as Excel or text file. In the text, the columns should be separated with the tab. Several tabs are considered as one.
In the combo box, the numbers start in the same order as in the starter list.
Do not forget to release the light beam before the start and finish!

Manual

For the acceleration of the composition of the starting list, ask the clubs, you send off the data of the athletes in the electronic form in Excel or Notepad.txt (tab delimited) in the strict order:

When working with the software to the Excel entry list closed.

Standard protocol has at least: square, St.Nr., TIME, SPLIT.

Before exporting, you have to activate all the columns when they are hidden: space, St.Nr., first name, last name, GJ, club, class, Kl.-Pl. *, TIME, DIFF.

JG = born or birth.
DIFF = Split is the time of the residue from the first.

In the minutes of a white labeled cell can write immediately. Arrow buttons to move up - down, you can jump from one line to another line.
According to the manual correction of the time in the log, you have to expect the class room (new Button "cup" click).

There is no need for the names and last names of the participants on the main display window, but before the storage of the protocol should I enable all hidden columns in the settings.
