10
Splits
Make sure your lane timers know whether to take splits. The lane timers should press
Start/Stop one time for each split. Up to 10 splits can be recorded per race.
After the Race
As each swimmer finishes the race, the Lane Timer(s) in that lane will press one of the side
buttons (Start/Stop) and then Reset on the Watch(es) assigned to that lane. After all Lane
Timers press Start/Stop at the end of the race and then Reset, the Dolphin software writes the
result file to the C:\CTSDolphin folder on the computer and the next race can be started.
If one or more of the lane timers fails to press Reset after the race, that watch’s state will not
have a yellow light. Before the next race, use the Reset Timers button (or shortcut r) to force
a reset and cause the Dolphin software to write the result file.
Getting the Race Results into your meet management software:
Hy-Tek’s Meet Manager:
1.
From the Run Menu in MEET MANAGER, press
Ctrl-F3
2.
A list of Dolphin result files for the current
Data Set
(see below for information
about data sets) will be displayed with the most recent file at the top.
3.
Select the result file and click OK. MM will extract the times and place them in a
window so that you can see up to 3 wireless watch times per lane plus the computed
average for each lane if there is more than one wireless watch per lane.
o
If there are 3 watches for a given lane, the middle time will be average time.
o
If there are 2 watches for a given lane, the average will be computed based on the
rule choice selected in
Run / Preferences / Backup Times
. If you are OK with
the times in the window, click Accept and these times will be stored in the
database along with the pad and button times already stored. To see the pad times,
the backup button times, and the backup watch times, press
Ctrl-K
or click the
Calc: Ctrl-K
button. When the time adjustment window is displayed, you can
compare the backup wireless watch times to the pad time and the backup button
average to help you decide what to do if there is a discrepancy between the pad
time and then backup button time. See Hy-Tek MM help files for a sample time
adjustment window with Dolphin Backup times.
If you are keeping track of races by
Race Number
(see discussion below), you can use the
Race # to help you select the correct wireless watch file. If things go smoothly, this race
number should be the same for the wireless watch file and the timing console data file.
