Function structure
Start events received via the PC timeclock or via the Timy timeclock are stored in table T650-Timing-event and displayed in F654. Valid start events can be given a name, invalid start event can be disqualified. Valid starts are displayed in the subform F607.
A facility is provided to generate a start event via the PC timeclock (Button Start), and a facility is provided to receive start events from the Timy clock via the USB. And a facility is provided to enter manually a start event, read from a stopwatch.
The start event times are recorded in hh:mm:ss,ms format. With each start a indicator can be set wheter or not an offset time must be added to the start time.
For the Timy facility to work, the dll usbiocom.dll , that comes with Timy, must be installed. When the Timy communication is on, a running time that is updated every 0,1 second is received from Timy and displayed in the Running time textbox. When a Timing event is received from Timy, this is displayed in the timing event textbox, and stored to T650, and becomes present in the F654 sub to be processed.
