Introduction
This Glossary contains definitions of specialized terms used in this instruction manual. Terms are
arranged alphabetically.
Channel
: The hexadecimal code used in the Swimming software to direct information to a
specific scoreboard destination or the hexadecimal code used in the scoreboard which tells a
given scoreboard module what information to display. The physical address is determined by the
switch settings in each scoreboard line. Often used interchangeably for both logical address and
physical address. Channel is a less precise term which must be taken in the context used to
determine if it refers to the logical address, physical address, or both.
Hardware
: The physical equipment used to process information, as opposed to the software or
programs that perform specific tasks. The System 6 Sports Timer is a hardware device that can
run many different software programs. Swimming is a software program.
Keypad Keys
: The keys on the membrane keyboard of the System 6.
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD):
A solid-state, low-current device used for computer displays
when space and power consumption are at a premium. In this case, the System 6 Sports Timer
display screen.
Logical Address :
The hexadecimal code used in the Swimming software to direct information
to a specific scoreboard destination. A logical address can be directed to any physical address
except 0F, which is reserved for single-line scoreboards.
Meet
: For Swimming, a “Meet” begins when you enter the Swimming Program on the System 6
Sports Timer for the first time after power up, and ends when when you exit from the Swimming
Program back to the Choose Sport Menu for the last time before power down. Meets are stored
in this way in Stored Data. This effectively creates one meet per power cycle. New Meets can
also be created using the “Create New Meet” option in the Misc menu.
Physical Address :
The hexadecimal code used in the scoreboard which tells a given
scoreboard module what information to display. The physical address is determined by DIP
switch settings in each scoreboard line.
Prompt Box
: Appears on the Swimming display screen when the entry of information is
required.
