Athletics Manager Link

MacFinish Software features

 

What is a Athletics Manager Link ?

When we have a software program to manage the administration of the athletic meet or any other sport event, we can make a connection between this Athletics Manager computer and the MacFinish photo-finish computer to transfer all data fast and errorless. This can be done by means of a simple serial cable, modems to extend the cable length to hundreds of meters or even a wireless transmission if this would help you.

The advantages are extreme!

No more reading or typing errors in your result sheets. Do not forget you will have to process hundreds of results for each meet or event.

You will gain a lot of time to present all results, which is appreciated not only by the athletes, but also by the general public and even more by the media.

You will have to print less or no participant sheets anymore, again you gain time and money.

And if there are late modifications to any racedetails (heat #, lane #, participant ID , etc) you will not have any problems, because the MacFinish operator will receive the latest update live from the Athletics Manager database, which will overrule the 'older' race-sheets on paper.

More information about this feature...

Each MacFinish software package can optionally be connected to a Athletics Manager software package, which should be running an another computer. A serial cable between the MF-computer and the Athletics Manager computer will transfer all data in both directions.

a) The race list and corresponding competitor list is send to the MacFinish.

b) The race results, including wind-measurements, are send back to the Athletics Manager.

 

If you use the link to the Athletics Manager you do not have to type the name of the photo-finish imagefile, but you simply select the racename from the list of races which is received from the Athletics Manager. The software will by default select the next race, so if you have entered in the Athletics Manager software the races in the timeshedule order, you will simply have to hit the 'enter' key now.

The MacFinish software can now show you the list of competitors, lane number and other information in a separate window. You can use this window for verification purposes (you will have to identify each athlete in the long distance races), but also for the input of the finishing order (click on the athlete names in finishing order, just like you click on the lane buttons for the sprint events).

Use the 'Export' menu selection when you are ready with the interpretation of a race, to send all race results, including the wind-measurements, to the Athletics Manager.
