Preparing SI kit for use Tasks to carry out: ◮ Synchronising clocks ◮ Clearing backup memory We will look at: ◮ WAOC boxes ◮ CUOC boxes ◮ Printer box

WAOC boxes Locate the required equipment

WAOC boxes Contents of the purple box

WAOC boxes EXT MA mode

WAOC boxes Synchronise clocks

WAOC boxes A note of warning ◮ Occasionally boxes must be placed on the time-master twice for the clock to be synced. ◮ Unclear why ◮ Probably only important for big competitions ◮ Check the clock on bottom of the start and finish boxes

CUOC boxes Locate required equipment ◮ Find CUOC time-master box ◮ Turn on with a magnet ◮ Wait 30 seconds until 2nd set of beeps ◮ Turn on control box and place on top ◮ No coupling stick required

CUOC boxes Some notes ◮ Magnets ◮ Low battery alert ◮ Working time

Printer box The backup memory needs to be cleared: ◮ Locate the purple clear-backup dibber ◮ Dib the printer box

SI Config General layout Reprogramming the WAOC hardware is strictly banned!

Download software Lots of choice: ◮ OE2003 ◮ AutoDownload ◮ GecO ◮ EResults Lite ◮ SiConfig

OE2003 ◮ CUOC has a licence (from 2003) ◮ Horrible to use

AutoDownload ◮ CUOC does not have a licence (EAOA does) ◮ Easy to use (used for 2015 City Race)

Geco ◮ Free software ◮ Slightly clunky interface, but easy to use

EResults Lite ◮ Free software ◮ Feels outdated, everything opens in a new window

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

Producing the results ◮ Read the printer-box ◮ Set-up Geco ◮ Import CSV file ◮ Problems ◮ Export results

Read the printer-box

Read the printer-box

Set-up Geco Create new stage Geco Bug #44: Don’t change the name once you have set it and left the name field

Set-up Geco Import courses

Set-up Geco Import runner archive

Set-up Geco Add runners not in archive

Import CSV file Import Ecard log using batch operations

Problems ◮ Missing names ◮ Hire cards ◮ Mispunches ◮ Duplicate downloads ◮ Forgot to clear (and start) ◮ Substituted control ◮ Unsynchronised control

Export results Export to HTML format for the website

Practical session ◮ Prepare SI kit for use ◮ Read the printer box ◮ Reprogram a CUOC SI box ◮ Results in GecO ◮ Download a dibber directly to GecO
