Connecting iPico devices to Copernico

This video explains how to send readings from your iPico timing devices to Copernico with the Timingsense IPICO server for Copernico program.

With this program you can connect several iPico devices, set the timing point of each one, synchronize their time, monitor the readings received and rewind readings (send them to Copernico again).

iPico. In this video we will explain how to send readings from your iPico device to Copernico. The structure of the IPICO server for Copernico is similar to that of the iPico server. You can connect several devices, indicating the timing point of each of them, and you can synchronize, rewind and monitor the readings that are being taken.

The first step is to run the IPICO server for Copernico. Click Login to sign in with your username and password for our cloud, and then you can select the race and the schedule that you are going to send the readings to.

To configure a timing device, you first have to put the computer within the IP range of the iPico device. For example, if the timing device works with the fixed IP 192.168.1.107, you must set up your computer with a fixed IP such as 192.168.1.4. Next, in the Subnet section, configure the IP range in which you are going to work; in our case, 192.168.1. In the Connect section, indicate the devices you want to connect and type in the final IP value of each device. Click the button to the right of the IP field to connect: it will turn grey until it connects, and then it will turn green.

In the Status section, you can check that the device is connected correctly, and you can also pause the reception of readings. In the Reads section, you can see the readings that have been received. In Timing Points, indicate which location each device belongs to. The timing points you can select are the ones you have created in the Copernico cloud.

Click the Clocks button and then Set in the pop-up window to synchronize the time once the device is connected. Now you can receive the readings of the race you have selected.

From the IPICO server for Copernico program you can also rewind readings: click the numbered button in the Data column to the left of each device. A pop-up window opens in which you can select the readings you want to rewind by date, the readers you want to rewind and the timing point you want to send the rewound readings to.
