In 2016, we can't think of timing an event in a manual way. So we have to make our favorite hardware talk to Wiclax.
This is possible in a very simple way. Wiclax can interface with many systems on the market and the list is not closed.

Below is a quick video to show you how it can be done. It does not show all the possibilities as your timing configuration can be much more complex, with multiple readers/decoders or loops that can be either local or distant, and with multiple passings on some of them, etc... But it does make a short introduction.

Vous venez d'acquérir une licence Wiclax et vous voulez activez le logiciel. Cette petite vidéo vous montre comment faire. Avant tout, il faut télécharger la version d'évaluation sur ce site et l'installer sur votre ordinateur pour pouvoir l'activer et la rendre pleinement fonctionnelle.

Pensez également à vous munir de votre identifiant de compte sur genialp.com et de votre ID de commande qui est visible depuis votre compte et que vous avez du recevoir par mail.

Si vous avez le moindre problème, n'hésitez pas à nous contacter.

Here is a quick video to show you how easy it is to add a logo at the top of the results printout. Note that many logos can be added, either at the top or at the bottom or both. A customized header can also replace the existing one.

Classic race week-end: you're having to deal with multiple races spread across Saturday and Sunday. Each of them holds its own bib number range, but eventually you discover lately that the organizer made two of them overlap.

You want to avoid any perturbation in a simple way. For example some runners hanging around your mats/antennas with their bib for next day's race. Or other kinds of interference like clothing chips holding a plausible id (note: this is a good reason among others that makes filtering also useful in a single race configuration).

At the same time you want to make your chips encoding as easy as possible. Though the software can deal with chip-bib correspondence tables, it's always a waste of time to feed them and a non-necessary source of errors.

Here's what you'll use: chip filters in the software and a prefixing of your chip ids at encoding.

Chip encoding policy

Your chip ids will be made of 2 parts:

• a unique number identifying the race - for example 0147. This number will be simply incremented after each race
• the actual bib number

Giving for example this chip id for bib #4356:   01470004356

Chip filters in Wiclax

Open the acquisitions form, and look for the interference filter panel in the status bar:

Check the Filter active option. Enter the prefix that will identify the only chips you want to see read, and the number of trailing digits that will compose the actual bib number. In our sample case: 0147 is the prefix and 7 is the number of digits to care about.

Close the panel. The status bar now indicates that there's a filter active:

And that's it!

In case you're in doubt after that, seeing a chip discarded and wondering why, remember you can check the acquisition log. All filtered readings land there:

Rien de plus facile avec Wiclax que de personnaliser une édition. De multiples options sont disponibles. Dans ce billet, vous allez voir sous la forme d'une courte vidéo comment ajouter un logo dans l'entête d'un classement.

Notez bien qu'il est possible d'ajouter plusieurs logos, et de les positionner dans l'entête ou en pied de page. Il est également possible de remplacer complètement l'entête qui reprend le nom de la course par un bandeau personnalisée.

Après des années de bons et loyaux services, Clascycle tire sa révérence et cède la place à Wiclax. Une solution toujours plus innovante et en phase avec vos besoins.
