I needed to use the Custom Rating System to have the
corrected time moved in minutes – a straight forward equation. Every time
I rescored a message appeared indicating ‘Missing expression’.
When the ‘Custom rating system’ tab is clicked
you are presented with three expression boxes (ignoring the Default A / B value
which I left as blank) and not wanting to use BCR / BCE.
In the C = box I placed the expression ‘e-(r*60)’
[elapsed time – rating (in minutes) * 60 seconds]. The ‘tool tip’
for the E = and R = boxes says that the expressions are OPTIONAL so I left them
blank. On rescoring I always got the error message above. The corrected
time for the given rating was always correct so why the error message?
After some time pondering on what to do I added expressions
to the blank boxes:
E= c+r/60
R= (e-c)/60
No more error messages on rescoring.
So it seems that the second two expressions are actually not
optional if you don’t want to see the error message. This may be a quirk
of the system and if so the ‘tool tip’ for the E = and R = boxes
need to be changed to reflect this situation. Both the Sailwave_ABYC_User_Guide
and http://www.sailwave.com/rating-system-expression
say ‘Sailwave optionally requires’ so it is either optional OR it is required – it cannot be both.
You are correct in that you do get an error message if the expressions are not entered. It is something I found myself a while ago - I’ll have a look and see what is the best solution.
