Rewind Passings

PreviousEvent-Devices ViewNextUnderstanding the Data Collection Process

Last updated 1 month ago

The Rewind Passings feature in RUFUS Race Manager (RRM) allows users to retrieve passings from a device’s memory for a specified time window. This function is particularly helpful for recovering data that may not have been captured live, or to reprocess passings for analysis and validation.

How It Works

  • Date Range Selection: In the Rewind Passings modal, you can specify an initial date/time and an end date/time. The system will retrieve all passings within that window.

  • 24-Hour Limit: The difference between the two dates cannot exceed 24 hours, ensuring the retrieval window is manageable.

  • Live Analysis: Once retrieved, RRM analyzes these passings as if they were received live. Any configured notifications will also be triggered for these passings.

Device Compatibility

  • Cloud Devices: Rewind Passings is available for all types of Cloud devices, allowing you to pull data from the cloud-based memory.

  • Local Devices (CloudBox Systems): For local environments, this feature is exclusive to CloudBox systems, providing a convenient way to retrieve and process historical passings that occurred offline.

Steps to Use Rewind Passings

  1. Add the Device to the Event: Before using Rewind Passings, ensure the device is properly added and assigned to the event.

  2. Open the Rewind Passings Modal: Press the REWIND button (labeled as << in the UI) to open the modal.

  3. Specify Date/Time Range: Enter the initial date/time and end date/time for the passings you want to retrieve (up to a 24-hour span).

  4. Trigger Retrieval: Click REWIND to confirm. RRM will pull the available passings from that timeframe and process them.

Benefits of Rewind Passings

  • Data Recovery: Retrieve passings that may not have been captured live due to network or device issues.

  • Flexible Analysis: Treat the retrieved passings as live data, letting you trigger normal processing routines and notifications.

  • Quality Assurance: Validate previously logged data to ensure race timing consistency and accuracy.

The Rewind Passings feature helps ensure no important data goes missing, enhancing reliability in various race timing scenarios. Whether you’re working with cloud devices or CloudBox local devices, rewinding passings provides an extra layer of data protection and analysis.
