Operator`s manual

This section deals with the operational procedures used before a meet and during and
after each event.
Before the Meet
Before each meet, three things must be done:
1. Verify the configurations.
2. Test the system.
3. Setup event and swim order.
Verify the Configurations
Once the system is tested, open the Configurations dialog. Go through each setting
(Figure 169 and 170) and make sure all the configurations are set correctly. The system will
maintain the settings that it used during the last time it was operated. If any configuration
setting were changed while the timer and software were not connected, the system will
request that the configuration be synchronized upon reconnection.
Though the configurations remain the same unless the operator changes them, it is
recommended to print the configuration settings so that they can re-entered if there is a
sudden loss of power or damage to equipment that may cause a loss of memory. Press
[Menu]>[3]>[3]>[Enter] on the keypad of the OmniSport 2000 console.
Test the System
The OmniSport 2000 timer and Pro system must be operating properly for a meet to run
smoothly. Turn on the system and ensure the cables are properly connected. Once the
software is running, it should detect the OmniSport 2000 timer. If not, reconfigure the Comm
Port. Test the system by following the steps below:
1. Test the peripheral devices such as the judge's consoles. Using a test event and swim
order, enter the judges' scores on each console. If the scores do not appear on the
software score area, check the cables on the rear of the OmniSport 2000 timer.
Note: If the judge's consoles are connected properly the bars under each judge's score
will be green. If not connected properly they will be red.
2. If using a display, test run an event to ensure the display shows what is expected.
During an Event
During a synchronized swimming competition, judges must make decisions on the quality of
the performances. These judgments affect the swimmers‘ final scores. This subsection details
what must be done in order to score a competition successfully.
