How to Select a Data Set for your Meet
A Data Set is a set of results for a given meet or session of a meet. Each time a race is
completed, the Dolphin system creates result files in C:\CTSDolphin in two formats: .do3
(standard Dolphin format) and .d04 (Dolphin format including splits). The first 3 characters
of the file name are numbers from 001 to 999. These three character numbers define the Data
Set number. So when you select a data set, you are selecting a data set of results based on the
first three characters of the result files. Subsequent characters of each result file define other
information, including race number.
Each time a race is completed, the Dolphin system also appends the race information to an
ASCII log file Times.txt.
From within Hy-Tek MM:
To select a Data Set, click on
Run / Interfaces / Timer
and click on
Select Data Set stored
from CTSD
. The INTERFACE will display a window with the date and time and the
number of races that have been stored for the current data set that MM is pointing to.
Remember, you could be running a three day meet and The INTERFACE must know what
"data set of meet data" you want to access.
Click on the
Next Meet
or
Previous Meet
buttons to select the appropriate data set. Because
there is a date and time shown for when the first file in the data set was created, you can
usually figure out which data set to select.
If new Data Sets with a new data set number have been added since starting MM, you can
click
Update Data Set
and all data sets will be refreshed for selection.
From Splash or another meet management program:
Follow the instructions given by the software’s help files.
