Device Passings

The Device Passings view in RUFUS Cloud provides a detailed look at all the passings recorded during a specific timing session. To access this view, navigate to the Sessions Tab in the Device Details page and click on the desired timing session. This will take you to the Passings View, where you can explore all the data captured during the event.

Passings View

Viewing Passings

Within the selected session, all the passings are displayed in a paginated list, from the most recent to the oldest. The data available for each passing includes:

  • # (Number): The sequential number of the passing.

  • Bib: The bib number of the participant, if available.

  • Chip: The unique identifier of the timing chip used in the passing.

  • ID: The unique participant ID, if provided.

  • Timestamp: The exact date and time when the passing was recorded, in UTC format.

  • Localization: The GPS coordinates (latitude and longitude) where the passing took place, if applicable.

  • Status: Any additional status information related to the passing, such as missing data or errors.

During an ACTIVE timing session, the Device Passings view will update in real time with each new passing that is recorded. This means that if the user is actively viewing the passings for a session, they will see the newly acquired data appear without needing to refresh the page.

Downloading Passings Data

Users can download the session data in CSV format by clicking the Download CSV file link at the top of the page. This feature is especially useful for those who wish to import the data into other timing software or perform further analysis. The CSV file includes the following columns:

  • __typename: Identifies the type of data, always "Passing".

  • timestamp: The date and time of the passing, in ISO format.

  • num_passing: The sequential number of the passing within the session.

  • latitude: Latitude of the passing location.

  • longitude: Longitude of the passing location.

  • status: Additional information about the status of the passing (e.g., if there were any errors).

  • participant_id: The ID of the participant, if recorded.

  • gender: The participant's gender, if recorded.

  • bib: The participant's bib number, if available.

  • chip: The unique identifier of the chip used during the passing.

Using Passings Data

The Device Passings feature allows you to keep track of every passing during a timing session, helping you analyze participant performance and event data comprehensively. With the ability to export passings to CSV, RUFUS Cloud makes it easy to share session data with other stakeholders or use it for further processing in third-party applications.

Whether you are managing a CloudBox, RUFUS Timing App, or a custom device, the Device Passings view provides a detailed breakdown of each recorded passing, ensuring you have all the information you need for efficient race timing and participant management.
