Glossary

MAPPING's words, in the sense the program uses them. Timing words are those of FINISH.

Hook board

The real panel where transponders hang, reproduced on screen in rows and columns. A station can have several.

Hook

A place on the board. Single: one transponder (1 foot). Double: an athlete's pair (2 feet), drawn as two half-cells. No hook: a hole.

Usual code

The short name of a transponder in FINISH (“87”, “12_ROUGE”, “P1”), the one read on the transponder. The two transponders of a pair can share it.

Ghost (out)

A faded cell: its transponder is on an athlete in a running or upcoming race. The name and the race are written on it.

To return

A ghost circled in orange: its race is over and it has not come back (automatic return).

Write access

The permission, given by the timekeeper in FINISH, to change the assignment from this station. Without it, MAPPING only reads.

Assignment

Which athlete wears which transponder in which race: it comes from FINISH and stays the reference there.

MAPPING licence

The station's MAP-… token: free, required to connect to FINISH.

Admin mode, distribution mode

Distribution mode (the default) only shows what is needed to hand out transponders; admin mode opens the board editor and the settings, with the password provided by your federation or club.

Join the training

Registering from the trackside an athlete who has no transponder, with those of a hook, during a FINISH training.
