Adjust Settings
One of the commonly utilized Plugins for adjusting Parameters and Settings within ONE TIMING is called "Event Settings". Here you can find all of the standard session parameters and can also adjust those directly here. For instance, determining whether the Formation Lap should contribute to the Driving-Time or not.
Any adjustments made to a parameter will be highlighted in yellow, and you will observe the changes in the text field located at the bottom of the Plugin. Initially, these changes are only reflected on your personal PC. By selecting "Publish", all other PCs connected to the same Live-Feed will display these modifications, and their ONE TIMING will adjust accordingly. The Live-Feed is the connection you have chosen in the drop-down menu located at the top right of the ONE TIMING interface.
Publish Settings at the start of a Session
To publish settings at the beginning of a session, ensure that you are connected to the correct live-feed. Then, simply drag and drop a txt file into the Plugin. Be sure to drop it into the Parameters section or the grey area. Avoid dragging it into the text field at the bottom, as it will not work. Once the file is dropped in, you will see multiple parameters highlighted in yellow, and you can proceed to press "Publish".
If necessary, PACETEQ can offer a standard set of Event Settings for each session. This is particularly useful if your ONE TIMING Setup is operating locally without live support from a PACETEQ engineer.
In the Event Settings txt file all parameters have a slightly different name that needs to be used compared to the naming inside the Event Settings Plugin.
