Windows 7 and
Vista have Microsoft .Net 4 Client Profile already installed so you
can skip this step.
Other users
will need to download Microsoft .Net 4
Step 3 - Download and
Install the Stopwatch Conversion Software
My software is free of charge for parkrun users.
Anyone else interested in the software, or variations of it, should
contact me for a licence.
Versions 1.2 to 1.3.4 needs the full .NET 4 package to be installed.
Versions 1.3.5 and higher uses the .NET 4 Client Profile (pre-installed on Vista and Win 7).
XP users must install it.
Instructions
The software works in three ways
1) Junsd, DigiSport and Ultrak Stopwatch Users - connect the stopwatch to the PC,
select the stopwatch in my 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 parkrun_timer format for loading into WebFMS.
2) Copy and Paste Mode - If you have the time data on screen
(eg in an email or you have opened a data file), you can COPY and PASTE the
data into my software. A wide range of different formats are supported and
they are auto-detected
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 my program. The software automatically detects
the format of the time
Save the Times - Once the times are loaded into the software you can
save the times to C:\DataSources in the
"parkrun_timer" format for loading into
the WebFMS software. A backup is also saved in C:\DataSources\History
Versions
|
1.5.1 |
Added support for DigiSport International DT500 and
DigiSport DT2000
stopwatchs. (Thanks to Black Park parkun)

The DT2000 (Ultrak 499) gives us a stopwatch capable of storing just under 2000 runners
per event. |

First public Release for Junsd USB Stopwatch.
You MUST plug in the stopwatch before running this program. And you must

This version uses the Microsoft Serial Port Class and is left here for
testing purposes. It also exports in the old parkrun UKTT format. |
