Automatic switching of display screens 

ResulTV can now receive commands from FinishLynx that cause the layout (RTV file) displayed to automatically switch.

Specifically, you can create four different ResulTV layouts (start lists, results, running time, and messages), and display the appropriate layout on the ResulTV screen depending on data sent by FinishLynx without the use of an extra operator.

Before you begin You must download the ResulTV auto-switching scoreboard script and save it to your C:\Lynx directory, or wherever you stored your FinishLynx application files during installation.

Basic instructions 

1. Start at the ResulTV configuration screen.
2. Create four new layouts, or RTV files, and assign each layout a specific name associated with the type of information it displays. For example, create:

• Starts.rtv for a start list display 
• Results.rtv for a results display 
• Time.rtv for a running time display, 
• Message.rtv for a message display. 

Example #1 

In this example, an auto-switching occurs between the running time and results displays.

1. In ResulTV, open two layouts you created earlier: Results.rtv and Time.rtv.
2. In FinishLynx, set the scoreboard options to Running Time | Normal and Results | Auto.
3. When the running time in FinishLynx is armed or running, the Time.rtv layout, or running time, is automatically displayed on the screen.
4. When the running time is stopped and the FinishLynx operator starts evaluating the FinishLynx image, ResulTV automatically changes to the Results.rtv layout and the results are displayed.

Example #2 

In this example, auto-switching occurs between the start list, results, and a scoreboard message.

1. In ResulTV, open three layouts you created earlier: Starts.rtv, Results.rtv and Message.rtv.
2. In FinishLynx, set the scoreboard options to Running Time | Off and Results | Auto.
3. When the FinishLynx operator opens a new event from the database, the Starts.rtv, or start list, is displayed in ResulTV.
4. When the FinishLynx operator begins evaluating the FinishLynx image, the results appear in ResulTV.
5. If a scoreboard message is sent, the Message.rtv layout causes the message to be displayed in ResulTV.
