Hi

Our club has a Unikon prof base station and champ clocks running v 2.72

Seems this must be upgraded to 2.8 for National races

We use East Coast Software running Federation Secretary's System

Now on unikons club manager 2008 disc is the upgrade

but when I try to upgrade using Champ Firmware v2.80 refuses to accept it

tried upgrading using the prof upgrade no problems although when I tried a clock

in to upgrade it did so but cleared the memory

Just did one clock nogins  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Have I did it right or f***up

Cheers

you must syncronise all clocks before you upgrade to get all info on clocks so when you have upgraded you will be able to download all info from the clocks which has been wiped from the pc.

Hi fifer

We do not use Unikon software but FSS so our data CANNOT be removed from our pc Its the point of upgrading the prof system to champ clocks just not sure

nogin your clock has been upgraded and reloaded give you it tomorrow so you can be the guinea pig and no drink tonight as yet

Homer i heard that to upgrade our ETS clocks it would mean re-entering all the pigeons onto each clock :-/ :-/ Not sure if this is correct or not but seems like too much hassle if it is.

Hi Alf

Do you use the Unikon software ONLY for producing the clubs result

Or FSS

The main problem with the Unikon software as I see it no place for loading manual clocks but FSS has We still have 2 members who wish to use STBs etc

Not sure what software we use to be honest Homer :B :B But after speaking to our club secretary this week she said that with the new software update we would have to reload all the pigeons already on the clocks as it wipes them all so i dont think we'll be upgrading until we go to the y/b's.

Hi Alf

Fifer is correct if you use the unikon software

Tip when using FSS since you have lost the clock no found you must reload the number first before reloading the birds

So DELETE the origanal clock no and ask FSS to find the number (same number but will not load birds until this is done)

Hi

Good tip

If you fly in more that one club Once the details have been feed into your Unikon clock and sychronised Just take the clock to your 2nd or 3rd club and download the details into there pc (means your 2nd or 3rd club do not have to type in all your details of birds nos colour etc

I've started to use ECS and I've had problems with the colours not being recognised by Unikon, giving a BK reading.  This only happens if you use your own abbreviations and not the one on the ECS menu. Unikon recognise the ECS colours OK, so only use them.

Bill has just upgraded ECS so that it prints the Address on Race Entry (an RPRA requiremnet) and Ring Assignment  forms.

The Town has to be entered on the second line of the members address after the Street in the East Coast Software database.

If members are using Clocks for other organisations in would be best to upgrade now, because clocks will be automatically upgraded if connected to a 2.8 version Club Master. with possible loss of all data.

Hi

If you are using prof clocks and base stations the upgrade is no problem and works

If you are using unikon CHAMP CLOCKS and CHAMP base stations it DOES NOT WORK

To his credit D Bald is comming to me tomorrow to see the problem

The problem is that the upgraded clocks will not upgrade the champ base stations

Our club ETS clocks had just been done in the last few weeks. The club has re-called them for another software upgrade.

All Bricon clocks and master systems also should be updated prior to the racing season, the master systems are updated through the club editor program then you upload the new software to the speedys through option 12 on the master and updating the speedy to 007.

Are they all going to have to be upgraded with software every year?

 

As the systems get more advanced I would think that most of the companies will have upgrades at differant times.

thats why alf as i siad in another post, before you do anything you must syncronise all members clocks,this puts all details from the pc onto the clocks, then when you put on the new update it clears everything from your pc, (the old management,) by syncronising all clocks before you put all info on them, so once you download ur new management, which has not got the info from ur old u syncronise your clocks onto the new which will download all the info onto it, you must syncronise all clocks before you do anything with the new disc to put all info onto the members clocks, then syncronise them onto the new system which will put all the details back on it,

 

 

 

PS. by syncronising a members clock, you put all info on the clock onto the pc, and all info from the pc onto the clock.
