Opening Clocks Ets

[philg50]

I was just wondering when you open clocks ,ETS for your results and you get each members times printed off ,in our club we then have to put in manualy members times into main computor before we get printed result .Question is is there a system where by the information off each clock goes direct to the computer then it calculates positions before printing placeings ie 1st 2nd 3rd etc etc avoiding manual work. I hope i have made this so as you lads can understand ,i will await your input.

You can if you have an up to date FSS 5pro from East Coast Softwear.

i think the reason for your club doing it manualy is because you have fanceirs with unikon and some with tauris

I am sure unikon does that

Aye you are right there this is the thing 2 different clocks ,but it was just an observation by me at clock opening that with ets on result nights they are nae any further on as regards speed,so next question is their not something ,programe,that would deal with this.

I looked into this a few months ago and the short answer is yes, it is possible to connect the Unikon club base by cable to a computer that is loaded with either a Mysoft or East Coast Software Race Results program and transfer times from each ETS clock as it is struck off on the club base station direct to the computer, and see the result being built up onscreen.

 

Manual clocks' times definitely still need to be typed in, as now.

 

What I don't know - and have still to find out - is whether it is possible to transfer times from all makes of ETS clocks from e.g. a unikon base station using a universal cable.

The thing is as Robbie said there are 3 Unikon clocks and 11 Tauris clocks ,so the Tauris can they be put into this programe ,and then some how connect up the unikon clocks into the same system then print off result or do the programes deal with Unikon only .I as you will understand am trying to find a quicker method so there is less hassle for people concerned and if you dont look into things you dont learn nothing so your ideas are a help thanks ,anymore ??

As Ian said, if you have the universal cable, most clocks can be run off any club system, so by using that system linked to the club computer and using the Mysoft, East Coast program, all clocks could be sent to the program. T3's are another problem and whether they could also be linked to the programme is unknown by me, but it would just mean manual loading of T3 times.
