The data files are written at Reset; ensure that the right
person/people are pressing Reset at the right time:
•
If using Dolphin Starter: the files are written after
the Starting Official presses Start/Stop at the end of
the race and then Reset.
Lane Timers should
not
press Reset if the Dolphin Starter is being used.
•
If using the watches without the starter: the files are
written after
every
Lane Timer presses Start/Stop at
the end of the race and then Reset. If one or more
lane timer fails to press reset, the file will not be
written.
You can overcome lane timers & starters failure to press
Reset by forcing a reset with the Reset Timers button. See
Forced Reset on page 7 for details.

•
Standalone: Make certain that the Lane Timers are
not starting, stopping and resetting the watches
unless it is to time an event.
•
Synchronized Start: Make a note of any false starts
or mistimed events so that the Computer Operator
knows when an event or a data set should be
skipped.

When updating watches, make sure all watches are
set to separate Lane/Timer combinations (i.e., two
watches are not both set as Lane 3, Timer A).
