Daktronics OmniSport 2000 Timing Console - Manual (Page 53)

Swimming Mode Operation 35
When a Start is Missed
If a start was missed because the timer was not reset (race clock was still running from the
previous race), the start impulse is logged in the memory and on the printer. To prompt the
operator that a start has occurred, reset the timer. If the operator chooses to use the received
start signal, the timer will automatically start timing the event by calculating the correct
running time. If the timer has already been reset, press [EDIT] to retrieve the start impulse
used for the last race.
4.8 Timer Operations After Race
After the race, the operator saves and prints the results, makes corrections if necessary and
disqualifies a swimmer if the meet referee requests it. (Review the Edit and Disqualification
in Section 4.3.)
Store Print
Refer to pages 24–25 to keep the race data for later use and print the results for verification.
If an error is observed on the printout, press [EDIT]. Press [STORE PRINT] to verify the
correction. After all corrections are made, press [RESET]>[ENTER].
The timer is now ready to begin the next event. Advance to the next event or heat and
continue. Follow the steps in Sections 4.6 and 4.7 through each race.

4.9 Special Features of the OmniSport 2000 Console
Always Ready Start
The Always Ready Start feature is based on the fact that the OmniSport 2000 timer has an
internal time-of-day clock that continually runs when the timer is turned on, even when the
race clock is stopped. This feature is used when the timer was not reset, a start was missed,
or the timer was accidentally reset after a valid start. Every start signal is recorded on the race
log and in the timer. It is extremely helpful to know how to reset the timer if a start is missed
because the timer was not reset. Refer to Section 4.3 to follow the steps to reset the timer.
