Last updated 10 days ago

As of Wiclax software version 10.1.1151, the RUFUS CloudBox timing system is fully compatible with Wiclax classification software. This guide explains how to connect your CloudBox locally to the Wiclax software quickly and effortlessly.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Open the Acquisition Window

Launch your Wiclax software and navigate to the Acquisition window. This is the main interface used to manage timing data.

Step 2: Add a CloudBox Acquisition

Within the Acquisition window, follow these steps:

  • Locate the acquisition toolbar at the top of your interface.

  • Click on the Rufus option.

  • Select CloudBox from the dropdown menu.

This action will create a new CloudBox acquisition in your acquisition list.

Step 3: Configure CloudBox Acquisition Properties

After adding the CloudBox acquisition:

  • Select your newly created CloudBox acquisition from the list.

  • On the properties panel that appears, enter the connection details.

    • IP Address: Typically set to 192.168.1.10

    • Port: Typically set to 8080

Step 4: Connect to CloudBox

  • Click on the Connect button to establish communication between the Wiclax software and the CloudBox.

  • Confirm the status changes to indicate a successful connection.

Step 5: Start Timing Acquisition

Once connected:

  • Click on the Start Reading button to begin acquiring timing data from your CloudBox.

Your CloudBox is now actively connected and capturing timing data.

Helpful Tips:

  • Ensure your PC and CloudBox are on the same local network.

  • The default IP and port provided (192.168.1.10, 8080) typically work out-of-the-box, but these may vary if you've customized your CloudBox settings.

  • You can adjust connection settings anytime in the Acquisition properties panel.

That's it! Your RUFUS CloudBox is successfully connected to Wiclax and ready for your next event.
