Chip Timing Integration¶
If your competition uses RaceTec to process chip-timed results, OpenTrack's simple integration means that you can pull real-time results in, allowing you to manage your competition fully on OpenTrack, and let your timing company to focus on what they do best — capturing results!
Integrating OpenTrack and RaceTec¶
To integrate RaceTec with OpenTrack, head to the TV and Photofinish management screen, scroll to RaceTec, and click INTEGRATE.
Simply copy and paste the RaceTec results URL for each heat/event combination, and click SAVE.
When you want OpenTrack to collect the latest results, click FETCH.
Live Results¶
To have live results updating throughout your competition, head to the bottom of the integration page on the day of competition and enter the time when all races should be finished.
Press GO, and OpenTrack will fetch results every minute until the set time.
RaceTec Configuration¶
To ensure results can be pulled in seamlessly, you need to configure RaceTec to allow OpenTrack to properly interpret the data.
When processing the final result of an athlete or team, OpenTrack expects either a time in hh:mm:ss.ms format (e.g. 00:49:25.32), or any of the following non-result statuses: DNF, DQ, QRY, UOF, Started, Not started.
Individual Races¶
For races with individual results, simply ensure your RaceTec page looks like the image below, with bib and time columns, and everything should run as expected.
Live Intermediate Splits in Individual Races¶
To pull live splits from RaceTec to OpenTrack for individual races, the name of each split in RaceTec should be the distance in metres, and these distances should be set in OpenTrack.
To set split distances in OpenTrack, head to the unit-level page, and click EDIT SPLITS on the right hand side of the page.
Just set the distance of the first split to be taken, and the distance of each lap, and click SAVE.
Relays with Live Leg Splits¶
OpenTrack can collect individual split times in relay races from RaceTec, but each leg must be labelled correctly.
Each leg should be named Leg {leg_num}, giving multiple columns named Lap 1, Lap 2, etc.
