Last updated 3 months ago

The Devices Menu in RUFUS Race Manager (RRM) allows users to manage both Local and Cloud timing devices. From this menu, users can view and configure the devices available for their events, ensuring that each timing device is correctly assigned and operational.

Overview of Devices Menu

The Devices Menu is divided into two categories:

Cloud Devices

  • Cloud devices are connected via the RUFUS Cloud and are bound to the user's company account.

  • Examples of cloud devices can include a Custom timing device, CloudBox, or the RUFUS Timing App.

  • To view and assign cloud devices to an event, the user must have an Internet connection.

Local Devices

  • Local devices are connected directly to the desktop versions of RRM (Windows and Mac).

  • Examples of local devices include the One4All 5 system and the RUFUS CloudBox.

  • Local devices are not availabe in the web version.

Backup Files

You can treat backup files as if they were additional timing devices. Backup files, often generated by timing hardware at the source, contain passings—essential data entries that record participants’ id and timestamp. By importing and analyzing a backup file, you ensure that all recorded passings are processed through the same logic pipeline as real-time device data. To assign backup files to checkpoints, users can simply click on the Backup file button. This action will open the Process Backup Files modal,

Assigning Devices to an Event

To assign a device to an event, users can simply click on the device listed in the Devices Menu. This action will open the Add Device modal, providing the corresponding options to bind the device (whether local or cloud) to the event. Proper assignment ensures that passing data is accurately collected and associated with the correct event checkpoints.
