C. FILE SHARING
When integrating Eagle Eye Pro with meet management software (Hy-Tek, Race Tab,
RaceberryJAM, etc.) it is necessary to share the lynx.evt event file (created by the meet
management software) and the .lif results files (created by Eagle Eye Pro software).
1. Sharing Results File via USB Switch
The included USB Switch allows each computer to access the same external
drive. The shared files remain on this drive while allowing each computer
access via the following process.
1.
➔
PLUG
a
USB storage device
(such as a thumb drive) into the
back
of the
USB Switch.
2.
➔
CONNECT
the
USB cables
from the USB Switch
to available USB ports on each
computer
.
3.
➔
ACCEPT
the
USB storage device
on computer one once it
is detected.
4.
➔
PRESS
the
RESET button
on the
USB Switch
to
connect
to
computer two.
5.
➔
ACCEPT
the
USB storage device
on computer two once it is
detected. You need only accept the thumb drive once on each
computer during initial set up.
6.
➔
Within the
Eagle Eye
Results Tab, SAVE
a results file to
the
USB thumb drive
connected to the
USB Switch
. You need only map this drive once during set up.
7.
➔
Within the
Meet Management
software,
CHOOSE
to
direct
the
.EVT file
to the
USB
storage device
connected to the
USB Switch.
This should also be the location the meet
management software will receive the .lif results file generated by Eagle Eye.
You need
only map to this drive once during set up.
Tip:
It is recommended that the operator of the meet management software (results computer) operate
the USB Switch. This allows the timing operator to focus entirely on reading each race and preparing to
time the next event.
