But the simple steps are:
1. Make sure your Meet Manager version has the "Omega Star File Sharing HY-TEK Interface" function enabled (not a standard feature, normally cost extra money for this).
2. Set up your meet manager events
3. Export a startlist.csv and concat.txt files - more on this...
4. Open up RaceHQ version 2.1.0.19 onwards - latest version...
5. Go to settings - general - Enable the Meet Manager function
6. Finish out of settings
7. Back in the race screen use the "..." button to browse to the location of the startlist.csv file that you exported in step 3. above and open it.
8. Use the big drop down list to select the upcoming race
9. In the race screen you will see the Member button. This will show you who is in what "Lane" for the pack race. MM gives athletes a lane number even though its a pack race. So to get the athlete into the race screen
10. You can over write the names in lanes by keying in the athlete id/competition number (assuming these numbers are unique across your known athletes in Meet Manager)
11. As you press save you will create a .hw7 file that is the same file structure that the Omega photo finish saves
12. From Meet Manager read in this file and match it to the event required
Some ideas to help this process across two laptops with distance between them, use a Drop Box or Sugarsync type file share application that's free and very simple, providing you have internet on both computers.
When its time to progress heats to finals, you reproduce your start list and re open that from within RaceHQ, so now you have the heats and finals available from the drop down list in RaceHQ.
Hope you have a great day out with this new feature.
