Forced Reset
The Reset Timers button (shortcut r) is in the upper right corner of the screen. Use it to force
a reset only if one or more lane timers, or the starting official if using the Dolphin Starter,
have failed to press reset and the next race is about to begin. You can tell if a watch has been
reset because it will have a yellow light showing in the watch state column on the Dolphin
screen.
Before forcing a reset, make sure the race is actually finished. If you force a reset while a
watch is still running, there will be no final time recorded in the results file for that watch.
However, splits for any watches that were taken will be recorded as long as Dolphin thinks at
least one watch finished the race.
Confirm Set Up
Look at the Dolphin screen. There should be a yellow light showing for each lane that has a
wireless watch assigned to it (see image on page 6). If you are using the starter, its icon
should be displayed in the upper right corner. If all watches and starter being used are not
displayed correctly, review the Software Set Up and Hardware Set Up sections, and ensure
that your system is set up properly.
If using a scoreboard, click the
Scoreboard Settings
button in the lower part of the Dolphin
screen and verify the settings for your scoreboard.
Lane numbering
: The default format for lane numbering is 1 – 10. This can be changed to 0
– 9. To change the lane numbering format, click the
Scoreboard Settings
button in the lower
part of the Dolphin screen, and then check the box “Start with lane zero.” When this box is
checked, lane numbering will start with 0; when unchecked, lane numbering will start with 1.
Watches will be automatically updated to the lane numbering format that is selected. For
example, a watch that is set to lane 4 when lane numbering is 1 - 10 will change itself to lane
3 when lane numbering is changed to 0 – 9.
Use the
Logging Enabled
button and the
Splits
button to display and log splits and
event/heat information. This information can be set manually or updated automatically from
meet management software.
The times.txt file will only be appended if “logging enabled” is checked on the Dolphin run
screen. The files that meet management software uses (.d03 and .d04 files) will always be
made.
