How does the forwarder work?

  • Opens a port, on your local machine: 3000

  • Listens on localhost IP: 127.0.0.1

  • Waits for TCP/IP connections from ChronoTrack Simple Client software

  • Processes passings/reads send by the ChronoTrack Simple Client software

  • Uses RACEMAPs API token to forward data to RACEMAP

How to get a token?

  1. Download the forwarder to the computer on which the ChronoTrack timing software is running.

  2. Run the forwarder with the RACEMAP_API_TOKEN token as an environment variable.

  3. Configure your ChronoTrack timing software to send data to the forwarder.

  4. The forwarder will send your data to RACEMAP.

set RACEMAP_API_TOKEN=[APItoken]
.\chronotrack-to-racemap-forwarder.exe

How to operate the forwarder?
