Category editor, Data log – PortaTree Pro-Ultimate (Gold Box) Firmware Version 2.14 User Manual
Page 4
The racer form also has 5 different pages of information that can be used to
enter data that may be used by the other programs. Select the page and enter
the information just like any Windows based program.
Category Editor
The category editor is used to setup each category according to the
Sanctioning body rules. Click on “Select Category” and a drop down list of all
categories will appear. Click on the category you would like to edit and the
information will appear on the screen. Some of the edit boxes require a mouse
click to change the information while others require an entered value by the
operator. A complete report can be printed so that each category parameters
can be reviewed. A list of the most typical categories are already loaded into
your category database. You can edit all fields (even category names) to to
comply with your track. There is a help screen that can be used to guide you.
Data Log
The data log is used for quick reference to all race information. It can also
be used to print reports and reference time slip information. There are many
ways that this report can access the race information. It can sort the information
in 6 ways and can single out a specific category and list the type and round as
well. If you double click on the race that you would like to review, a timeslip
panel appears showing the race as you would see on a time slip. The race can
be viewed in “High Resolution” by clicking on the “Hi Res” button. The other
useful tool in this program is the # of Entries that appears at the bottom of the
screen just under the “Found # Records” label. This can be used in the various
searches to tell you how many vehicles participated in the search that you just
performed. You can use this feature to keep track of how many vehicles raced
the entire day and how many raced per category.
You can also search for one individual entry in any category or the whole
file. This is useful if you have duplicate car numbers in multiple categories.
