C. FILE SHARING

When integrating Eagle Eye Pro with meet management software (Hy-Tek, Race Tab,

RaceberryJAM, etc.) it is necessary to share the lynx.evt event file (created by the meet

management software) and the .lif results files (created by Eagle Eye Pro software).

1. Sharing Results File via USB Switch

The included USB Switch allows each computer to access the same external

drive. The shared files remain on this drive while allowing each computer

access via the following process.

1. ➔ PLUG a USB storage device (such as a thumb drive) into the back of the USB Switch.

2. ➔ CONNECT the USB cables from the USB Switch to available USB ports on each

computer.

3. ➔ ACCEPT the USB storage device on computer one once it

is detected.

4. ➔ PRESS the RESET button on the USB Switch to connect

to computer two.

5. ➔ ACCEPT the USB storage device on computer two once it is

detected. You need only accept the thumb drive once on each

computer during initial set up.

6. ➔ Within the Eagle Eye Results Tab, SAVE a results file to the USB thumb drive

connected to the USB Switch. You need only map this drive once during set up.

7. ➔ Within the Meet Management software, CHOOSE to direct the .EVT file to the USB

storage device connected to the USB Switch. This should also be the location the meet

management software will receive the .lif results file generated by Eagle Eye. You need

only map to this drive once during set up.

Tip: It is recommended that the operator of the meet management software (results computer) operate

the USB Switch. This allows the timing operator to focus entirely on reading each race and preparing to

time the next event.
