Results entry

Whilst banging times into Sailwave on Sunday pm, I realised that the scorer had used the format '143305' on his hand written sheet i.e. no separators. Would this be a useful option for Sailwave - save an awful lot of keystrokes when a 24hr clock is used (most of our races finish after 09:59hrs :wink: )?

Mike,

You can do this now. I have been using just a string of 6 digits for time
entry almost since I started using Sailwave. There used to be an option a
long-time ago to specify the separator, but now I think Sailwave is
intelligent.

Only thing I think is needed is that the start times are entered in the same
format.

Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Huw

Hi Mike,

In Edit+result hit F2 for the tool-tips and as Huw says, you'll see hhmmss
is a valid start/finish time format. It's not a valid elapsed format
because an elapsed time in seconds is allowed.

Aaah - I'd only tried it as a result with the start time still using delimiters :-[
Cheers Huw

Hi Mike,

re: your comment in your reply to Huw - that should work - the start time
and the finish time are deformatted independently of eachother - then the
elapsed time is formatted using the first separator Sailwave finds in the
start time and then the finish time, so:-

聽聽start time = 12:00:01
聽聽finish time = 124530

Gives:-

聽聽elapsed time = 0:45:29

If you can remember the scenario that failed for you, can you let me know...
Ta.

Hi Colin
Please excuse my incompetence. My previous comments were based on the fact that the results cell showed the finish time exactly as I had entered it (without delimiters), but I had not noticed that your excellent software was calculating the results (elapsed, corrected time etc.) correctly :-[
