HY-WIRE

Previous  Top  Next

HY-WIRE is a system which includes a HY-TEK software product that runs on a Wi-Fi enabled Palm OS device or on a Wi-Fi enabled Pocket PC device that interrogates HY-TEK's MEET MANAGER during a meet to display start lists and meet results with both cumulative and subtractive splits. For the system to work, HY-TEK's MEET MANAGER must have the HY-WIRE system enabled and have a wireless access point enabled.

This system is ideal for coaches who do not have time to write down splits during a race. As one coach remarked after using HY-Wire: "FINALLY, I am able to drop my stopwatch and watch my swimmers race instead of writing down splits!"

Officials and parents will also find this to be a handy way to look at upcoming start lists and completed heats.

The heat result for a given heat is available for upload to the Wi-Fi enabled HY-WIRE device as soon as the MEET MANAGER operator in the Run Menu clicks "Get Times" from the timer and either moves to a new heat or Lists or Scores the event.
