Examples when to use Store Print:
To verify the results before the console is reset. This might be to look at the tolerances
between the touchpad and back-up times to see if the back-up push buttons should
be used instead of the touchpad
To produce more than one set of printouts. Press [STORE PRINT] more than once
and each time will create a printout
Paper Feed
Press [PAPER FEED] to have the printer advance the paper. The printer will not print on the
advanced lines.
Event/Heat
The [NEXT EVENT], [HEAT +1], [HEAT -1], and [EVENT/HEAT] keys tell the timer which
event/heat is happening next. When an event order is pre-configured, the timing console
knows the length of the event and the record time for that event.
Having a programmed Event Order makes operating the timing system during a meet much
easier. There are three methods of setting up an Event Order.
1. Download from a results program like Hy-Tek’s MEET MANAGER.
See ED-13876 in Appendix B.
2. Using the OmniSport 2000 Pro software, pick the Event Order from one previously
saved, or create a new one.
3. Manually program it in the OmniSport 2000 console.

OmniSport 2000 Pro software

Record Time

the timer
—Event Number, Round, Distance and
Record Time
When an Event Order is downloaded, it does not include information like the start lists, or the
number of heats. One thing that many operators worry about is re-downloading, if the
seeding or the number of heats change. This is not necessary. The OmniSport 2000 console
gets that information using the Event Order. When the operator selects the event, the timing
console asks the results computer for the current start list for that event, round and heat.
An Event Order has room for up to 500 different pre-programmed events numbered 1-999
with or without an A-Z designator following the event number. The Events do not need to be
in numerical order. They should be programmed in the order that the events occur.
The Event Number can be from 1 to 999. Following the event number there is a position to set
an alpha character used to distinguish between varsity and junior varsity, or different levels
of swimmers when “A” swimmers must compete against each other and “B” against “B”.
