Relay devices and dual slalom controllers send the times they record — passings — to this site, which keeps a copy and forwards them to the RaceResult event named in the device's Event ID setting. The copy is kept in passing files: plain text files, one passing per line, exactly as the device sent them.
They are your backup. If a passing never reached RaceResult, or you need to check what the device really recorded, the passing file is the original.
How files are organised
- Each device has its own list of files.
- The device decides the file ID; the card on the device list shows the file it is currently writing.
- New passings are added to the end of the file, so a file grows through the event.
Viewing the files
- Choose Logs on a relay or dual slalom card, then Passing Files.
- The list shows each file's File ID, when it was Created and last Updated (in the server's time zone), and the Count of passings in it.
- Choose a File ID to open that file. Its contents are shown as plain text.
Downloading a file
- Open the file as above.
- Save the page — Ctrl+S (Cmd+S on a Mac), or right-click and
Save as…. Choose Text if you are asked for a format and keep the
.txtending.
Each file's address is /kiosk/<account>/<device>/<file ID>/passing, so it
can also be fetched directly by any tool that can download a web address.
Good to know
- Keeping the passing does not depend on RaceResult: a passing is saved here first, even if forwarding it then fails.
- If passings are in the file but not in RaceResult, check the device's Event ID setting.
