The Edit Racers Screen is used for creating, editing, deleting and viewing racer information. All racer information is stored in the database.
To create a new racer you must first click the Create New Racer button. Clicking this button creates a new blank record for a racer that you can then edit and save. Each new racer must have a UID and a name defined. All the other fields are optional though selecting a Racer Image is recommended. After you have entered the info in for a racer you must click the Save button to save the record. The racer will then show up in the racer table on the right of the screen.
If you wish to copy a UID for an existing racer you can click the drop down arrow on the left of the UID field to select a particular UID from the list of available ones. While multiple racers can have the same UID only 1 racer with a particular UID may be enabled at a time.
When creating a new racer for the Core Speedway lap counter after you click the Create New Racer button you must click the Scan button next to the UID field. The car you are scanning must be on top of the antenna loop. The scan button will perform one quick scan, if a tag is detected the UID will display in the UID field.
When creating a new racer for other hardware based lap counters after you click the Create New Racer button you must click the Scan button next to the UID field. The scan will run for 5 seconds, during this time the car you are scanning must then be driven over the antenna ribbon or below the detection bridge. If a new car is detected the UID will display in the UID field.
The software has the ability to use the keyboard for registering the laps instead of using lap counter hardware. If you want to use this mode of operation each racer must have the UID field set to unique key. You are not limited to just numbers, it can be almost any key on the keyboard. Do not use the "r" key though, this key is used to announce the ranks during a race.
