Download
the Stopwatch Conversion Software.
Our Stopwatch
Conversion Program can load data from over 15 different makes of
stopwatch (both real stopwatches and smartphone apps) and save the
times into a CSV File (which can be loaded into Microsoft Excel and
Race Management software) or a Parkrun_Timer file that can be loaded
into parkrun's WebFMS system.
You are free
to download and install the software for testing purposes. After
installing the software, only the first 5 times will be valid until
the software is licenced.
parkrun users
can contact parkrun HQ for a free licence and the software must only be
used for parkrun events.
Other users, sports clubs and event organisers can obtain a licence key for £25
which will unlock the software.
Cross
Platform Support
The software
runs on Windows and will also run on Apple Mac OS X and Linux using
the free Mono Project .NET framework
parkrun users
should note that parkrun Support can only deal with Windows users.
Step 1 -
Download and Install USB Drivers if you are using Junsd, Digisport or
Ultrak
| Junsd |
For Windows 7, you should be able to plug in the
stopwatch and let Windows load the drivers.
For XP and Vista, install the
Prolific PL2303 drivers. The latest are on the support pages at
www.prolific.com.tw but
if you have problems here is link a copy of
Version1.70
of the drivers
For Mac OS X, get the Prolific 2303 drivers from the support pages
of www.prolific.com.tw
For Linux, simply plug it in |
| Ultrak and Digisport |
For Windows, install the
AU9720 drivers from DigiSportInstruments.com
For Mac OS X (10.5 and above) simply plug it in
For Linux, simply plug it in |
Step 2 - Install Microsoft .Net 4 or Mono
Windows Users
need to download and
install Microsoft .Net 4
Client Profile
Mac OS X and
Linux Users need to install Mono from
http://www.mono-project.com
Step 3 - Download and
Install the Stopwatch Conversion Software
| Windows Users |
The latest version is
Version 2.5.0
but Microsoft and Norton are unhappy with the file.
So you may need to download
Version 2.0.1
for now |
| Mac OS X |
Download
StopwatchDownload.exe. You will then need to type "mono
StopwatchDownload.exe" from the Command Line |
| Linux |
Download
StopwatchDownload.exe. You will then need to type "mono
StopwatchDownload.exe" from the Command Line |
Instructions
The software works in three ways
1) Junsd, DigiSport and Ultrak Stopwatch Users - connect the stopwatch to the PC,
select the stopwatch in the software and then use Upload All on the
stopwatch Menu to upload the times to the PC. You can then review the
times and save them in either parkrun_timer format (for loading into WebFMS)
or CSV format (for loading into Excel or other Race Management software).
2) Copy and Paste Mode - If you have the time data on the
computer screen
(eg in an email or an opened file), you can COPY and PASTE the data into
the software. A wide range of different formats are supported and
they are auto-detected. You can edit the data within the software too.
3) Load File Mode - If you have the time data saved in a file
which the PC can open (for example .txt file or a .csv file) then you can
Load the data file directly into the program. The software automatically
detects the format of the data.
4)
Save the Times - Once the times are loaded into the software you can
save the times. parkrun format data is saved into
C:\DataSources on Windows and into
your Documents folder on Mac OS X and Linux.
CSV (Excel) format data is saved into your Documents Folder
