Glossary

TABLEAU's words, in the sense in which the software and this help use them.

Announcement: The message that FINISH (and EVENT, on its own port) sends on the network every 2 s so it can be found: TABLEAU connects to it without anyone entering an address.
Preview: In the editor, the real rendering of the view, with sample values (or the received data). In the panel, the “Preview” box shows the view on the screen without FINISH.
Banner: The top of the screen, above the card area; an element “in the banner” is drawn only once and is positioned from the corner of the screen, anywhere.
Card: The repeated area of a view: one per athlete, per race, per race in the schedule or per athlete in the overall standings. Its elements are positioned from its corner. In an athlete table, a card is a row.
Field (information): What an element shows: name, last lap, clock, record… The editor's “Fields” list has one box for each (catalogue).
Overall standings: Two things: those of FINISH, an athlete's place among all the times of the competition over the same distance (“Overall, …” fields); those of EVENT, the race standings broadcast by EVENT and shown by a view of type “EVENT overall standings” (“EVENT standings, …” fields).
Lap counter: The laps that will remain after the next crossing of the line (“0” on the last lap).
Starting colour: The colour of an athlete's start position (helmet, armband), set in FINISH and broadcast with the athlete.
Race in progress: A race in the FINISH tabs: loaded (no start yet), in progress (started) or finished (everyone has finished, still open). Only these races are shown; a race run (closed) or not run (upcoming) never is.
Reference race: The race the banner elements talk about: the first race in progress in the view, otherwise the first one.
Display delay: A deliberate delay applied to everything FINISH and EVENT send, for an overlay on a video that is itself delayed.
Element: A field placed in a view, with its position, size and style.
Header: In an athlete table, the title of a column, in the row above the lines.
Space (Redis): The common name that FINISH and the remote scoreboards enter in their Redis setting (“hsk-starford”): their shared keys.
Overlay: The graphic laid over the camera picture: TABLEAU draws on a green background that the production software removes.
Lapping: The latest lap passing on the track, held for a moment by FINISH, shown in large type in the athlete's colours; mostly in training.
Batch: A bundle of changes sent by FINISH (a passing, a start…). The panel counts the batches received.
Hold: Three settings: the Race view kept a few seconds after the end (panel); an element “with hold” visible for a few seconds after a passing (view); “Remove finished after” (view). Unrelated to the FINISH hold delay, which decides when a race becomes run.
Leader: The athlete in position 1 of a race: on a race card and in the banner, the athlete fields refer to this athlete.
Min/max: In training, an athlete's minimum and maximum lap time (their target), in their FINISH record.
Moment: Presentation, Race, Results, Pause, Overall standings, Advertising: what the scenario decides to show; each has its own view.
Automatic mode, manual mode: Automatic: the scenario chooses the moment based on FINISH. Manual: a panel button forces a moment until the “Automatic” button is pressed.
Page: When the cards do not fit in the area, they are shown in pages, one after another (the view's “Page (s)”).
Control panel: The scoreboard's controls (F2), inside the scoreboard or detached into a window on another screen.
Photo, image, avatar: An athlete's record carries a photo and an image (club, flag, drawn avatar); “avatar”: the photo if there is one, otherwise the image. Kept on the computer by their fingerprint, requested only once.
Advertising: An image, a video, a text or a web page shown full screen, in a loop, when nothing is happening on the track.
Redis: A message server on the Internet (your own) through which FINISH and EVENT reach scoreboards on another network.
Scenario: The automatic choice of the moment, on every frame, based on the state of the races in FINISH.
Streak (min/max): An athlete's latest consecutive laps within their min/max; a lap outside the limits resets it to zero.
View type (Chart): Athlete cards, Athlete table, Race cards, Schedule, EVENT overall standings.
Trial value: The text an element shows in the preview, without FINISH.
View: A complete layout (1920 × 1080 by default), saved in a .vue.json file. A model view is delivered with TABLEAU; the default view, “Classement (par défaut)”, is part of the program.
.layout: The view file of the former scoreboard, converted to .vue.json when it is dropped into the views folder.
