Once downloaded the .zip file needs unzipping and then extract 'cc280503.exe' file and run it, the program will then install.
When installing the files choose your desired Directory. The default is C:\ClubCalc.
An Icon will be place on your Desktop if required.
The Calc has been designed to run in 1024 x 768 screen resolution or above. If you have 800 x 600 then change. To change your screen resolution to 1024 x 768, right click on your Desktop ..... Go to Settings ..... change to above.
When running the program for the first time.
Change or Edit your Club and Federation Names. You will not have to change these again.
When finished go to 'Calculator Main Screen'.
On this screen you will find a variety of buttons etc.. Lets start first at the Database button. The Calculator needs at least 1 entry to work.
Database (Add/Update Members distances), this is where you enter/update your members distances.
I have added 1 entry to the database. You can edit this first then press update.
Then press the 'ADD' button etc. to continue to enter Names, Racepoint and Sixtieths. Remember to double check members details.
When entering Race Details
Enter all the details for:
Members, Birds, Wind Direction, Set Date, Race Date and Liberation Time.
Set Midnights..... This is preset for a normal 1 day race, i.e. Clocks set on a Friday night. Saturday Liberation, Birds clocked and Clocks opened. Just change the midnights to suit holdovers etc..
Set Hours of Darkness..... Set times when needed to comply with your Fed/Union.
Enter your Master Sets/Rakes(checks)..... you can enter any way you like, i.e. 19/03/00 or 19-03-00 or 19.03.00 it's only to show your master details on printout.
NEXT
a) Choose Racepoint.
b) Choose Member.
c) Enter Master/Member Clock Details.
d) Enter Ring Number, Rubbers, Pooled etc..
CLICK on the Picture to calculate each entry enterd. The list automatically sorts the Result as you proceed.
e) If you enter the wrong details just highlight the line and press the Clear Item button.
f) If you want to clear all lines then press the Clear List button.
g) Press Club Print will give you the result required for your members.
h) Press Fed Print will give you the result required by your Federation. (Well my Fed anyway)
