16 Swimming System Hardware Setup
Module 0F is a special-purpose multi-use module that has applications for customers who only
have a single line of scoreboard, or who have multiple lines.
For scoreboards with only one line, this module allows the display of different information,
depending on the status of the race. For example, while the race is running, the scoreboard will
display the running time. Then, when the lead swimmer completes a lap/length, his or her split
time will be displayed. Finally, as the swimmers all finish the race, their final times will be
displayed in the order in which they finished. Additional information can be shown sequentially
when the timer is in reset. In this way, a single-line scoreboard can effectively give the athletes,
coaches and spectators all the information necessary to run a successful meet.
For scoreboards with multiple lines showing data for one lane per line, this special module can
be used to display different information sequentially rotating through on a fixed interval. For
example, the same board could display Time of Day and Team Scores in an alternating manner.
Multi-Line Scoreboard
You can display the race information for each lane, such as lane, place and time both during and
after the race.
To display race results and other information on a multi-line scoreboard, your scoreboard must
be properly configured. Scoreboard configuration is a two-part process. First, the scoreboard
must be installed and the digits and signage arranged to meet your needs. Refer to the figures in
this section for examples of proper scoreboard arrangement and refer to your scoreboard manual
for instructions on moving digits and installing signage. Once the scoreboard is installed, the
channel switches in each scoreboard module must be set to agree with the channel setting in the
Swimming software. For example, channel 01 in the Swimming software sends information to
the scoreboard module set to channel 01, channel 02 in software sends information to the
scoreboard module set to channel 02, and so on. The Swimming software uses each channel to
transmit specific race information. For example, channel 01 sends the place and time information
for Lane 1, channel 0C sends the event and heat information for the current race. To function
properly, the switches in each scoreboard module must be set to receive the proper information.
The Swimming software provides the option to redefine a scoreboard module by sending
information from one channel to another. For example, you could redefine scoreboard module
0B, which ordinarily receives record time information, to receive data from channel 06 which
carries place and time information for lane 6. Refer to page 46 under “Scoreboard” in the Setups
section for more details.
Channel Selection
This section shows sample scoreboard module displays and the corresponding channel selections
to produce them. Set the switches inside each scoreboard module to agree with the channel
number listed beside it as shown in Figure 2-K. No Swimming software configuration changes
are necessary.
