Import/Export

The AiguaTiming system is designed to work together with meet management software products. AiguaTiming does not allow the entry or editing of meet information from within the app so all the meet information has to be imported. Import/export format modules can be purchased from Aigua's In App store.

Importing Meet Files

Meet files are imported to AiguaTiming using the iTunes File Sharing option. Follow the steps below replacing the example files with the meet files exported from your meet management software. Verify that your file format is supported by checking the supported file format section below. Make sure you have your iPad plugged into your computer and the iTunes program started.

Drag&Drop meet files:

  • Export the meet information from your meet management software into files in one of the supported formats.
  • Select the AiguaTiming app in the File Sharing section of the Apps pane in iTunes.
  • Drag and drop the exported meet files into the AiguaTiming Documents box.

Import meet files:

  • Press the Import button on AiguaTiming and select the format of the files to import.
  • If there are no import errors you should now see all the events and heats from the imported meet.

Export Results Files

Once a meet is completed you can export all the results to an external file using the iTunes File Sharing option. Follow the steps below replacing the chosen export format with the format you require for your meet management software. As a safety feature, all exported results files include the date and time on their name so you will not overwrite them by mistake with new exports.

Export meet files:

  • Press the Export button on AiguaTiming and select the format of the results file to export.
  • The exported results file will be available at the iTunes File Sharing section when you connect your iPad to your computer.

Save results files:

  • Select the AiguaTiming app in the File Sharing section of the Apps pane in iTunes.
  • Select the results file that you want to import back into your meet management software and press the Save To button to save it on your computer.
  • Once saved used your meet management software to import the results file.

Supported Import/Export File Formats

Omega® Ares file format

The following are the Omega® Ares files required to import start lists and event information into AiguaTiming:
  • lstcat.txt
  • lstconc.txt
  • lstlong.txt
  • lstrace.txt
  • lstround.txt
  • lststart.txt
  • lststyle.txt
AiguaTiming doesn't support the use of the lstrnum.txt file by default. If you need to use this file please contact support at support@johncode.com.
The results are exported to a file called lstrslt.txt. To make all exported result files unique to avoid overwriting them by mistake, the export date and time are appended to the base file name of the results file.

Other file formats

We are working hard to make other import/export options available, but please don't hesitate to contact us if you have specific needs.
