Introduction
Stopwatch was the forerunner of Event Control Systems. It stores up to 14 competitors, the names together with their numbers can be stored in a file.
No manual wqs was written but extensive use of the Help pages was used. These pages are displayed here and have been used to make this manual.
The clock commands have not been tested.
The CLOCK and the PANEL
It is important that the real-time clock reads the correct time.
If necessary select the CLOCK from the index or with T and set it to the correct time.
The default PANEL settings are suitable for most people but if you are particularly heavy handed when pressing the keys it may help to set the "Auto Repeat Rate" to a higher number than the default setting of 6, say 10 for example. If you are new to using a keyboard then set the "key-click" to YES and then an audible tone will be heard every time you press a key.
If necessary select the PANEL from the index or with S and change the values.
