Download software
Lots of choice:
◮ OE2003 ◮ AutoDownload ◮ GecO ◮ EResults Lite ◮ SiConfig
SLIDE 25
OE2003
◮ CUOC has a licence (from 2003) ◮ Horrible to use
SLIDE 26
AutoDownload
◮ CUOC does not have a licence (EAOA does) ◮ Easy to use (used for 2015 City Race)
SLIDE 27
Geco
◮ Free software ◮ Slightly clunky interface, but easy to use
SLIDE 28
EResults Lite
◮ Free software ◮ Feels outdated, everything opens in a new window
SLIDE 29
SiConfig
◮ Use to read backup-memory from printer box OR ◮ Use to read SI cards OR ◮ Use to read backup-memory from control boxes (not
recommended)
◮ Import data into a different program to produce results
SLIDE 30
