Finish time entry with sail number wizard

2 Comments

From version 2.8.3 entry of finish times within the sail number wizard have been changed to optimize the quick entry of data.  Rules for entry in the other areas have not changed and are covered under the previous section.

  • Finishing times  such as 123456 will get “:”‘s entered automatically so it becomes 12:34:56.
  • Finishing times entered in this format are checked and you get an error beep and prompted to re-enter if the hour > 23, minute > 59 or second > 59.
  • You don’t need to enter a leading 0 so 92345 becomes 09:23:45.
  • You don’t need to enter trailing seconds if it is an exact minute so 923 becomes 09:23:00.
  • You don’t need to enter trailing minutes for an exact hour so 9 becomes 09:00:00.

Elapsed time extensions for sailno wizard

Last edited 1st June 2018 by Jon

As of version 2.8.3, the completely numeric form of the elapsed time syntax is extended as described below.  To force the standard interpretation (seconds) use a + prefix. The extended formats are converted by Sailwave into standard form and appear in the results as such.  When doing this conversion a semicolon separator is assumed.  Other standard formats are unaffected and can still be used.

mss 0m:ss
mmss mm:ss
hmmss 0h:mm:ss
hhmmss hh:mm:ss
dhhmmss 0d:hh:mm:ss
ddhhmmss dd:hh:mm:ss

The following constraints are applied, resulting in a single beep if broken:-

0 < ss < 60
0 < mm < 100 (no hours specified)
0 < mm < 60 (hours specified)
0 < hh < 100 (no days specified)
0 < hh < 24 (days specified)

Examples:-

+123 = 123
123 = 1:23
12345 = 1:23:45

Note: If you are re-installing Sailwave, all files and folders in the install directory are removed prior to installation.  Please make backups as needed.  Under normal circumstances this is not necessary – you should never need to change or add files in the Sailwave install directory.

Changes

  • The directory for the examples and the user folders(Styles Templates etc) are now in the  “Common Documents” Directory Previously they were in the “Common AppData” directory.  This is because in Windows 7 and Vista the Common AppData directory is a hidden directory and makes it confusing and difficult to use.  So you will now find them at
C:\users\public\documents\Sailwave      —– For Windows 7 and Vista
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Sailwave   —– For XP
  • Installer look has changed to make it look a bit more modern and visually better.
  • New Feature – Quick formatting of Elapsed & Finish Time when using Sail Number Wizard
  • New Feature When Publishing Series Table of Display Starts in Separate Columns
  • New Feature of Score Teams by Rank and Points
  • New Feature of Edit – Create Aliases
  • New Feature of Alternative Sail Number
  • This Version has the scoring code RAF removed and replaced with RET so as to conform with the RRS 2013.
  • Numerous changes improvements to the Sail No Wizard with ability to enter on other fields as well as Sail No.

For full details of the changes please see the full descriptions in the “Download beta versions” menu, which goes into detail of the above changes.
