3.4.3 DOWNLOAD DATA FROM WITTY
This option allows to download test data from the Witty timer to the PC. If the test type is not present in
the Witty Manager database (e.g. test types created on the timer itself), the connected test type is also
uploaded.
Press <Upload Data from Witty> to transfer the tests and possible test definitions, then go to Results,
where the uploaded test list is displayed.
The association of tests and athletes' data, i.e. assigning a bib to a name and last name depends on how the
data flow has been set up. The suggested workflow is the following:
1. Create a new database on the PC and add the athletes' names.
2. Download the athletes' data to the timer (completely or filtered start lists).
3. Have the athletes execute the tests.
4. Upload the data from Witty to the PC.
5. View the Results with the associations performed automatically by the program.
To this case (the first in the table below) others can be added: for example, if tests have been timed
without athlete names (indicating only the bib number, in this case #2), or if working with multiple
databases. Following are some examples:
Athletes' Data on
PC
Athletes' Data on Witty
Association
Present
Downloaded from PC (therefore identical)
Automatic
Present
Not present at the moment of timing
Automatic (manual, if there are
different athletes with the same bib
number)
Not present
Not present at the moment of timing
No association with names
Not present
Present, but different from the one on the
PC (previously downloaded from another
database)
In addition to the results, the
athletes' data are also downloaded,
therefore the association is
automatic and the athletes'
database on the PC is populated
Present
Present, but different from the one on the
PC (previously downloaded from another
database)
As above; the athletes' data on the
PC can contain athletes with the
same bib number
