Introduction

Alge Timing, with a worldwide network of distributors is a specialist for sports timing with over 30 years of experience in timing consultancy, development and production.

Alge OPTIc is a computerized color photo finish system with integrated processing software. The Color Line Scan Camera scans every movement on the finish line in true color and high resolution.

In cooperation with Alge the StageRace program has been made capable to import files from OPTIc.

Importing

Classifications made in OPTIc are available automatically in tab separated text format.

This data can be found in a .txt file of which the name is equal to the one of the race (.rac) that is the subject.

Within StageRace, the Arrival tab provides file import. In the Import classification file dialog the text file that contains the classification data can be picked. Additionally, the file type in this dialog should be set to Alge OPTIc Results so that StageRace bypasses the advanced Control import classification dialog and directly imports the OPTIc data.

For OPTIc operation, please refer to the appropriate documentation.
