Page 66 MacFinish 2D-USB and MF8.x software Hoofdstuk 9.3 : Automatic creating a .jpg file that you can use and print later. In chapter 6.1.5. we already have explained that you can program the 'Preferences' to have the MacFinish program automatically make a .jpg file, when the software is opening and/or saving the MacFinish data file. You can leave the folder address field empty, so that the file will be save in the folder where the original MacFinish file is saved, or you specify another folder (use the “...” button to point to the desired folder). The filename of the automatically created .jpg file will be the same as the filename of the MacFinish file that you opened, but of course of the type .jpg If you have a logo picture file saved in the folder “Graphics” (this folder should be present next to the MacFinish software), and this picture file is named “logo.jpg” or “logo.bmp” or “logo.gif” then this logo wil be automatically included in the created .jpg files, on the fixed position : “bottom-right” of the created picture.
MacFinish 2D-USB and MF8.x software Page 67 Hoofdstuk 10 : Using a link with a MeetManager database If you have a separate PC running some kind of database program with the list of events (athletic or other sports), the time schedule, the names of athletes, teams, etc.. you can make a 'link' between that MeetManager computer and the MacFinish computer to exchange information. Such a link can be different in; A) Type of connection; - Serial connection (cable or wireless, RS232 or RS422) - Network connection (ethernet TCP-IP) - File transfer (USB-memory key, USB-harddisk,, network, .....) B) One or Two-directional - One directional; MacFinish results are send to MeetManager - Two directional; MM data is send to MF and later the MF results are send to MM. The top three menu selections of the “Document” menu are for the most interesting type; the two-directional data communication with a ‘real’ MeetManager. The following two items (‘Send Results’ and ‘Export to File’) are used for the ‘simpler’ one-directional transmission of data to a ‘simpler’ database program. Note; The reason that such a MeetManager program should run on a separate computer is NOT due to computer limitations, but due to human limitations! It is not possible for the photo finish operator to do other jobs during his photo finish recording activities! If he also should take care of participant lists, printing jobs, sending data to scoreboards, television, etc, that would create a disaster! Let him concentrate on one of the most difficult jobs there are; perform a perfect timing, and remember; he only gets ONE chance, you can not re-run the race! Hoofdstuk 10.1 : One-directional data transfer to MeetManager There are NO limitations on the use of a one-directional link. In other words; you can use the following menucommands without any special registration key or license code; - “Send Results” to send the results out over a serial port (scoreboard port). - “Export Results to File” where the results are written in a .TXT file on your PC. Of course, you will need to make the correct setting of serial port, baud rate speed, etc before you can use the ‘Send Results’ feature. The feature ‘Export Results to File’ can be set to be manually activated or automatically when you close the MacFinish photo file. See your ‘Preferences, explained in chapter 6.1.4.
