This tab is in the Database tab. The Transfer tab allows you to interoperate with an automated finish-line system. The only system currently supported by this tab is the FinishLynx system. (The Omega system is supported with a different mechanism, see the By Event tab.)
In order to use the Transfer tab, you must fill in a value for the Transfer Directory field of the Meets tab. JRaceman uses a single directory for both input and output. Configure your FinishLynx system to use that same directory for both input and output.
To send data to the finish-line system, select a Meet (and optionally other values) on the left hand side of the tab, fill in the "to" filename field with the desired base name (you can usually leave it set to the default value) and press the Send button. This will create two files in the Transfer directory of the selected Meet with the base name as specified in the "to" field and the extensions .sch and .evt. These files contain the schedule and event information, respectively, for all selected races.
You can only send races with a race number. When you press the Send button you will be notified about any races in your selection which do not have race numbers.
To receive data from the finish-line system, select a Meet on the left hand of the tab, fill in the "from" filename field with the desired base name pattern (you can usually leave it set to the default value) and press the Receive button. This will read all files from the Transfer directory which match the specified base name pattern, enter their data into the database, and rename the file to add a .done extension to indicate that the file has been read.
