Passings Files

All Ubidium timing data will be stored in a passings file on the system, each file has a unique ID which is displayed on the passing information screen.

When starting Ubidium a new passings file will automatically be created, you can additionally create a new file by pressing and holding the START button until the button is illuminated orange, the file will be created upon releasing the button.  

When connecting to Ubidium only the current passings file will be used. 

Ubidium passings files cannot be deleted and so are permanently stored in the on-board memory, this has no impact on performance and storage capacity should not be a concern. 

Accessing Passings Files

Passings files can be accessed either directly through the Ubidium System, through the RACE RESULT 14  Timing System Archives or through the RACE RESULT 14 System Controls System Controls for Ubidium. 

To access past files from Ubidium directly - ensure that you have a network connection to the system either via LAN or Wi-Fi, and enter the IP address of the system into your web browser. 

Below the image of the Ubidium System is a link to access the Files, clicking this will show a list of all available passings files on the system, and for each file you can see the total number of passings alongside the timestamps of the first and last passings within the file. 

Each file can be downloaded in 3 different formats:

  • .pbuf - Protocol Buffer files are non-human readable files designed to ensure consistent structured data. 
  • .jsonl - JSON Lines file where each line contains a JSON record of the passing data. 
  • .csv - Comma-Separated Values file, using a semi-colon to separate each field of the passing data within each line

If importing the passings file to RACE RESULT 14 - you should use the .csv file. 

Alternatively, inserting a USB stick into the Ubidium triggers the automatic export of passings and settings data. When the transfer finishes, the device will confirm that “Settings have been copied to USB stick.” You can then import the generated .csv files into RACE RESULT 14.
