using gprm for test and tune

Post by asatxj »

We have a test and tune coming up and I would like builders to be able to see their times. Can gprm be set up so it will just display information when a race is run? I don't really want to sit there and create heats for two hours, I might want to work on my car(s) all 5 of them.

Yes. When in the Racing screen, click on the button at the top of the screen, next to the listed race group. Then select "Test / Tie Break". You will see a generic set of racers displayed and then can run a heat and see the times. Nothing will get recorded to your data file for those heats.

Also if you set Auto advance and Hands free timing the system will be ready to display results again and again without any user intervention. :D

True, but only if they have Version 9. That is new this season.

No can do, I only have v. 7. We'll see about the update when the regional director decides to go to it. As is, the program did what we needed yesterday. Good fun.
