All about live tracking in the RACE RESULT knowledge base:
Live tracking with active system:
Active transponders for live tracking:
Track Box configuration for forwarding track pings:
Setup exporters for forwarding timing points and splits for live tracking:
Timing point selection for loop boxes:
Track Box protocol:
Create your event with the required contests in your RACE RESULT account.
Synchronize participants with Racemap:
Active transponders have to use the same tracking channel as TrackBoxes. Set up with management box, default configuration: channel 1 should be different from channel for timing.
Set up your Track Boxes for live tracking to directly forward all the Track Pings to RACEMAP: Timing » Systems » Track Box Configuration Rules
Channel ID: using Track Boxes for live tracking requires a different channel than for timing system
Tracking Partner: Racemap
Loop box detections are forwarded with the device ID of the connected decoder. That means, Racemap has no information, if the detection is received from loop box or decoder.
Repeat mode: Detections are forwarded directly and can be used for live visualization.
Store mode: Detections are forwarded with delay and can not be used for live visualization, but for the replay of the contest.
Loop box detections are forwarded through the exporters with the coordinates of the
decoder OR
specific timing point
Use the automatic timing point assignment rules for these detections (based on loop ID and channel ID), if loop and channel ID have been manually defined in Main Window » Timing Points
The exporter forwards reads that are addressed to timing points. Forwarding through exporters is the only way to consider decoders for predictive live tracking.
Settings in Timing » Exporter + Tracking to send data from systems different from Track Boxes - decoder, loop box, USB timing box. Select all timing points. Set tracking partner "Racemap", enter your RACE RESULT customer ID.
To start forwarding click green play button (Timing » Systems » Exporters + Tracking) and each reader forwards a box ping every 4 min. That way your systems are visualized in Racemap Map » Hardware and Detections.
Run a Race Simulation in RACE|RESULT, forward the reads from the simulation to your prediction in Racemap and keep dots moving in real-time.
Timestamps: Running a live visualization requires that the settings in RACE|RESULT fit the NOW time (event date, timezone, T0). Common mistake: running a simulation with the date of the upcoming event generates reads with a future timestamp that can not be processed in a live visualization.
Locations: The timing points in RACE|RESULT need to be configured with coordinates close to the shadowtrack of the Racemap event, as the prediction processes the location of the reads.
