Daktronics OmniSport 2000 Timing Console - Manual (Page 46)

28 Swimming Mode Operation
The Round can be left Blank, set to Preliminary, Semi-Final or Final. The Round allows the
results program to distinguish between Heat 1 of prelims versus Heat 1 of finals. The
printouts will also be designated with a round.
The Distance is the total distance of the event that the competitors will swim. The console has
the length of the pool configured. If the console was configured to a 25 yard pool and a
distance of 200 was set, the console would do the math and automatically set the number of
lengths for that event to 8.
Additional Settings Only Available in the Pro Software
The Type can be left Blank, set to Girls, Boys, Womens, Mens or Mixed. This puts the correct title
for that event on the printout from the Pro software and the event title on a matrix display.
The Age can be set to whatever is selected for the meet. This enters the correct title for that
event on the printout from the Pro software and the event title on a matrix display.
The Stroke can be left blank, set to Free Style, Back Stroke, Breast Stroke, Butterfly, Individual
Medley, Freestyle Relay, Medley Relay, Backstroke Relay, Breaststroke Relay, Butterfly Relay, 1 Meter
Diving, 3 Meter Diving or Platform. When the timing console sees a relay event, and relay
platforms are connected, it will utilize them in its timing. During individual events, the
OmniSport 2000 console will ignore platforms for everything except the start reaction.
Remember, there will be no start reactions for events that start in the water like Backstroke
and Medleys. When the timing console opens to a diving event, it will prompt the operator to
switch to diving, either YES or NO.
The Heat can be left blank, set to Final, Consolation, Bonus Final or Timed Final. This serves no
other purpose than to put the correct title for that event on the printout from the Pro software
and the event title on a matrix display.
The Record Time is for display on the record time auxiliary module. When an event order is
downloaded from Hy-Tek software and the record time is entered into the Hy-Tek program,
the event order will be included.
Lengths
If the operator has not configured the console with an event order, it is pertinent that the
correct number of lengths be set for the race being timed. Press [LENGTHS] followed by the
number of lengths to be completed using [0-9]>[ENTER]. Every time the swimmer goes from
one end of the pool to the other is a length. To figure out the correct number of lengths,
divide the distance of the race by the length of the pool. Example: a 200 yard race in a 25 yard
pool (200/25=8), Lengths = 8. The maximum number of lengths that the OmniSport 2000
console will time is 66.
Reset
When a race is complete, the operator presses [RESET]>[ENTER] to reset the timer.
Note: If the operator has not pressed [STORE PRINT] before resetting the timer, pressing
[RESET] will store the race and print the results in addition to resetting the clock.
If the timer was not reset before the start of the next race, see Section 4.9, Always Ready Start.
