Explanation of Pronto modules

TSAdmin

• Used to:
  1. Create / modify event files.
  2. Import driver data into event files from MSR export files.
  3. Modify driver / car info (class, number, etc.).
  4. Print grid sheets / grid run order sheets.
  5. Print results (regular, raw, PAX).

TSAnnounce

• Used to:
  1. Show data useful for the announcer work assignment.
• Notes:
  1. Asks to open a file immediately upon opening. This file must be the same event file as the one currently used by the "TSEntry" module.
  2. As the announcer laptop is generally separate from the one used to capture timing (aka the "main" laptop), this usually means the main laptop shares the directory where the event files are kept, and the laptop where TSAnnounce is ran on accesses the file via that share.
• Tips:
  1. Double*clicking the Pronto logo tells the module to clear out all pending data and pull new data in fresh. This can be useful in the event the module gets "behind" or has other odd issues.

TSEntry

• Used to:
  1. Take timing signals from the timing gear and input them automatically into the next listed car that has no time.
  2. Add / change penalties assigned to runs.
  3. Audit the results as compared to the clipboard results.
• Notes:
  1. Asks to open a file immediately upon opening. This will be the event file used for the day, and it's data will be used by all other modules.

TSLive

• Used to:
  1. Take run data and upload them automatically to the configured website's FTP address.
• Notes:
  1. Asks to open a file immediately upon opening. This file must be the same event file as the one currently used by the "TSEntry" module.

TSUpdate

• Used to:
  1. Update all Pronto modules to the latest versions available for our region.

ProntoID

• Used to:
  1. Show the licensing ID the laptop has for Pronto. Generally only useful when licensing a laptop for the first time with Darrin.

Pronto Remote Support

• Used to:
  1. Grant Darrin with Pronto remote access to the laptop so that he may directly interact with it. Useful for troubleshooting / support purposes.
