Notice that after this last update when l started the clock for a Cross Country race that l timed back in February there wasn't any strolling results on the TV display l thought that l did something wrong, than l saw that the strolling results option isn't listed in the TEST & SCREEN drop down menu listed as a option?

I checked another laptop that l hadn't updated to the newest revision & the strolling places appeared plus the setting options listing show

This there something l need to click on the newest release to have the strolling finishes appear as in the pass

Thanks

Mike

Yeah, this was a total redesign of that feature. It's a totally new screen instead of a re-work of the existing one. Since it's the first iteration of this new design I'm sure it'll improve over time, but one of the things that I had to leave out was the scrolling of older results. This is because the screen dynamically switches between a single (old style) full display of a single finisher to a Listview display of multiple finishers depending on if more than one finisher comes in within the specified "Duration" that you've set.

I knew that the removal of the scrolling old results was a big change, but I thought back to every race I've timed and very rarely do I see anyone standing there for minutes on end waiting for their result to appear. Another thought is that since the 'Public Display' is typically being run by the primary timing computer I thought it would be nice to cut out all of the extra processing that's going on with the loading/refreshing of the scrolling results. This way the timing computer is even more focused on just processing the tag reads as they come in.

If the masses agree that it's absolutely necessary to add it back then I can of course. Just wanted to explain why it was excluded with the new display.

Is there a limit to the number of seconds that can be input? That might be a work around.

7200 seconds (2 hours) is the maximum.

We get hired to time youth, middle school & high school meets, we set up our TV display near the finish line parents & athletes always gather around the display to see in what order the runner finished and their times. Strolling results for cross country is a big and importing part of the event

We still do a results kiosk (it seems a lot of people are moving away from that). I mirror that screen on a bigger TV and a lot of people are standing around watching those results scroll through. My other display I keep at the finish line pointing backwards (towards the cameras)

Nearly all my events people gather around the screen religiously to get their time. Some even come straight to the timing table for their results directly from the fishline.
