Procedures for Managing the HY-WIRE System from MEET MANAGER
·At the beginning of the meet, follow the six setup steps listed in the HY-WIRE MEET MANAGER Setup.  
·During each session, you will run the meet just as you would normally do. HY-WIRE will run in background without any noticeable effect on your running the meet. A HY-WIRE result file will be created whenever:  
a) you change from one heat to another heat.  
b) you change from the last heat to a new event.  
c) you List, Score, Re-Rank or Re-Score an event. In the this case, HY-WIRE result files will be re-created for all heats within the event.  
·At the start of each session or at the start of each day, go to the HY-WIRE menu from Run / Interfaces and purge all start lists and result files. Then select the next session or sessions if two pools and update the start lists. By doing this, you minimize the amount of data that each Palm will have to upload.  

Notes

·Avoid creating events with alpha-numeric numbering because HY-WIRE will not create result files for alpha-numeric events.  
·In order for HY-WIRE Palm OS and Pocket PC users to get results quickly, it is very important for the MM operator to Get Times as soon as possible after each race. If there is later a DQ or correction, those corrections will be uploaded to the Palm OS and Pocket PC users as soon as List or Re-Score is performed or as soon as another heat is selected.  
·If you are running two courses with two computers using the Network Pro option, you only run NetExchange on one computer, but have both computers activated for HY-WIRE and both computers set to the same Shared Location which needs to be the one on the computer running NetExchange. For example, the NetExchange computer would use C:\Hy-Wire and the second computer would point to E:\Hy-Wire assuming the second computer was mapped to see the first computer's C drive as the E drive. On the first computer, you would update the start lists. The second computer would only send HY-WIRE result files to the first computer and NetExchange would take care of getting those files to the Palm OS users.
