Entering Event Data

This is described for the Colorado V, it is similar on the Colorado IV.

· Select SETUPS from the Swim & Dive Menu using the appropriate soft key.

· Select Event Sequence.

· Be sure that the proper User Defined 1 or 2 is selected (only User Defined on the IV).

· Select View/Edit Selected Sequence.
If you would rather print them out on paper to look at, then before doing this step select Print Sequence using the soft keys.

· You will now see a list of events (the first 10 will initially be shown).
You can move around in the events by selecting UP or DOWN to move 1event, or Page Up or Down to scroll 10 events.

You may insert missing events or delete unwanted events via the Insert and Delete soft keys (Colorado V only).
Note that inserting or deleting an event will cause all the subsequent events to be re-numbered (probably not what you want).
You cannot enter only Events 1, 3, 5, etc. and not have the even numbered events present.

· You will see a right facing arrow on the far left of the display to indicate what event you are on.

The Distance will be highlighted if you are currently on the distance portion, if you are in the event description portion, then you will see where the cursor is.

The distance will display in Yards or Meters on the Colorado V, as number of lengths on the Colorado IV.

· When the Distance is selected (it will show in Reverse Video), you can enter it or pressing the appropriate distance key or keying in the distance on the keypad (Colorado V only). The distance must be keyed in on the Colorado IV in numbers of lengths (i.e. short course pool, 200 Yards would be 8 lengths).

· To advance to the event description simply press one of the Enter keys.

· If an event already has a description, the cursor will be positioned at the end of the description.
To clear out the description and start over press C/E (Clear Entry) on the numeric keypad (this is the only choice on the Colorado IV). On the Colorado V there is a Delete soft key that deletes the item directly in front of the cursor.

· Once the entry is cleared you then enter Swimmer Type, Age Group, Event Type and any other information you need.
* This is done as follows on the Colorado V:
- Select Swimmer Type, then choose the appropriate designation and press enter.
- Select Age Group and do as above.
- Select Event Type and do as above.
- If the next Event is the same distance and type, but of the opposite sex (as most CSI events are), then do not press Enter to finish but press Copy/Opp Gender, and the next Event will be set up with the opposite sex in it, then press one of the Enter keys.

* For the Colorado IV:
- Use the soft keys to directly select all the above information. This will require using the More key to find all the items you wish to select.
- When you have the description entered, press either Enter key to move to the next event and continue until you are through.
