Start
In most cases, there is a horn start connected to the timing console to signal the start
of the race. Under unique circumstances, the operator has the option to start the timer
counting by pressing [START] . The printer will label the results with the source of the start.
If the keypad was used it would be labeled Source: Keyboard . If the start was from the
horn start it would be labeled Source: External .
Examples when to use Start :
• Test the timing system or scoreboard
• In the event of a start system failure, press
[START] then [SPLIT ARM ALL] and [ENTER] .
The timer records at least the finish order of the race. The time will be incorrect, but
some data is better than no data.
Store Print
Press [STORE PRINT] to tell the timer to store the race results for that heat up to that
moment. In addition to storing the results, the timer will print whatever printouts are
configured in the settings menu for the printer. Refer to Print Menu (p.45) . If using the
OmniSport 2000 Pro Swimming software, the operator may view/edit the settings from
that program (refer to Section 3 of DD3109473 ). If [STORE PRINT] was pressed before the
race was complete, it must be pressed again when the race is complete in order to save
and print the complete results; otherwise, any changes/additions will be lost.
Examples when to use
Store Print :
• To verify the results before the console is reset; this might be to look at the tolerances
between the touchpad and back-up times to see if the back-up push buttons should
be used instead of the touchpad
• To produce more than one set of printouts; press [STORE PRINT] more than once and
each time will create a printout
Paper Feed
Press [PAPER FEED] to have the printer advance the paper. The printer will not print on the
advanced lines.
Event/Heat
The [NEXT EVENT] , [HEAT +1] , [HEAT -1] , and [EVENT/HEAT] keys tell the timer which event/
heat is happening next. When an event order is pre-configured, the timing console
knows the length of the event and the record time for that event.
Having a programmed Event Order makes operating the timing system during a meet
much easier. There are three methods of setting up an Event Order.
1� Download from a results program like Hy-Tek’s MEET MANAGER. Refer to the
OmniSport 2000 and Hy-Tek Software Quick Start Guide (ED-13876) .
2� Using the OmniSport 2000 Pro software, pick the Event Order from one previously
saved, or create a new one.
3� Manually program it in the OmniSport 2000 console.
