PocketTimer 3.2 (Mobile)

Overview:

is the low-cost handheld race timing solution for race directors,timing companies, running clubs, or anyone else putting on an event that needs timing.A person completely unfamiliar with the Palm can easily record thousands of bib #'sand associated times. Results can be edited or reviewed on the Palm, downloaded tothe desktop, or printed directly to a printer (using PalmPrint software also fromStevens Creek Software). Includes a "time trial mode" for events in whichparticipants start at fixed intervals, and can handle multi-lap races as well assingle lap races. Also allows time offset for races in which the start and finishare at different places and the timer cannot be started exactly at the start time,and includes "time-of-day" timing. WINDOWS AND MACINTOSH CONDUITS INCLUDED.FeatureBenefitContinous display of elapsed time, pace, and current finishing placeProvides the timer with full information which can simultaneously be used for announcingpurposes in small racesLarge number buttons for recording bib# (or boat#, car#, bike#, etc.)Allows easy recording of information by inexperienced users, without the need forGraffiti, and even, if necessary, without a stylus (buttons are easily large enoughfor fingertip use)A large "Record" button for recording times, plus the ability to recordtimes using "hard buttons" on the unitEasy, reliable recording of finishing times, even (if hard buttons are used) withoutlooking at the unit.Record times in 1.0 second or 0.1 second resolutionChoose the resolution that suits your event.Time-of-day recordingBy synchronizing the time on multiple Palms, the units can be started BEFORE theactual race start, allowing for the Palms to be in place and running in widely separatedplaces on the race course."Last #" option lets you record time first, and THEN record bib#Situations in which the # is not visible until after the racer has crossed the finishline can be handled"Same time" option lets you record multiple finishers with the sametimeSince the software relies on "hand-timing", it is impossible to actuallyrecord two finishers at the same time, but this feature lets you record the second(or additional) finishers at the same time as the previous one.Easy review of recorded information, including search capabilityThe recorded times can be easily viewed, and you can search for a particular # tosee if a particular racer has finished.Last lap displayIf racers are recorded multiple times (e.g., multiple laps), display just the lastlap (and the number of laps recorded for that racer)Easy editing of recorded informationModify recorded information to correct errors, and even insert additional finisherswho were missed.Special "Duplicates" display lets you easily spot erroneousentries.Beam times from one copy of PocketTimer to anotherTime continuously at a finish line, but beam the recorded times periodically to asecond Palm so you can score the race and print results (using RaceBase softwarefrom Stevens Creek Software) even while the race and timing continues.Operates without power for 24 hoursEven if left running continuously (as is required in 0.01 second resolution mode,although not in 1.0 second mode), the unit can record times for approximately 24hours continuously (depending on exact handheld unit in use, batteries, etc.), allowingfor use in remote locationsAutoRecord modeIf all racers have the same number of digits in their number, allows automatic recordingwith one fewer step (no need to press Record button).Barcode-scanning enabledWhen used on a Palm with barcode scanning capability, including Symbol SPT15xx/17xx/18xxor Handspring Visor with plug-in CSM-150 or PSC Momentum, can scan in bib#s for barcodedtagsRecord up to 32,000 finishersAll information will fit on even the smallest memory Palm.Ability to offset recorded times, either by a constant amount or using "timetrial" offset to subtract an increasing time from each racerSimple offset of times allows for correction of starting errors, or synchronizingPalms from different locations which were started at different times. Time Trialoffset lets you record racers who started at fixed intervals (e.g., 1 minute apart)and then correct those times.Includes Windows and Macintosh conduitsUpload recorded times to your desktop as a simple tab-delimited or CSV text file.PalmPrint (tm) enabledUsing PalmPrint software from Stevens Creek Software and a portable printer,print out recorded times on the spot.Designed to be used by people with just a few seconds instructionLots of features to prevent quickly-trained users from making mistakes, for example,accidental button presses or taps while the software is running will NOT exit thesoftware, and stopping the timer is a multistep process that can't be done accidentally.
