1 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Witty Manager is the Witty Timer Kit's management software. It can be used to create athletes' personal
data, configure customized tests and display acquired results.
It is divided into 5 main sections:
1.1 ATHLETES' PERSONAL DATA
In this section athlete profiles can be created and edited. Every profile can contain extensive information
(personal data, notes, pictures, etc.). Once created, the profiles are displayed in the main list and can be
sorted alphabetically, by creation date or by number.
Should it become necessary to divide athletes up in a more defined and orderly manner, Witty Manager
allows you to create groups and subgroups, making it easier to search for names both when performing
tests as well as during analysis and comparison of results.
It is also possible to create "start lists", so that, when data is transferred to Witty, athletes' names and
information is sent along with the exact order of the tests that are to be performed, thus preventing the
user from having to type in the number of the athlete who must perform the test each time.
1.2 TESTS
The main function of this software section is to define customized tests to be then downloaded to the
Witty Timer. There are 3 main test types: Basic, Multistart, and Counter.
Basic: this test is usually executed with one person after the other, allowing to carry out most of the tests.
Depending on the requirements it is possible to define a Sprint test (straight or circuit, with or without
intermediate times), Go & Return (multiple runs from one point to another or with more points), as well as
Shuttle with recovery (if a monitored recovery period is needed between one run and another).
Multistart: This option is selected if, for example because of the test length, it is necessary to have the
following athlete start before the first has finished the test.
Counter: This test type is useful to verify how many repetitions of a given action an athlete can execute
within a certain amount of time, or, vice versa, how much time an athlete needs to carry out a set number
of repetitions. A "timeout" can also be created in order to set a maximum time limit between one
repetition and another and to bring the test to a close when the athlete is no longer able to execute a set
action (for example in the event of fatigue) within the set maximum time limit.
With the define grid option in the Test section, users can customize the way that performed tests are
viewed in Results. For example, users can establish which information to view (time, gap, intermediate
times, speed, etc.) and in what order.
