WeighIn settings

WeighIn settings

Before you can use the WeighIn module, you need to configure it. Open the settings by clicking the Settings button in the Options command group in the WeighIn application.
You can launch the WeighIn app either from the desktop shortcut or via the Windows Start menu.


2. Basic Settings

In this section, you define how the WeighIn module connects to the JudoManager Desktop application (server).

2.1 Local Location

If the computer running the WeighIn module is on the same local network as the server computer, select Local location and enter the IP address of the server. You can also click Search to automatically browse for available servers in the network. Once selected, click Test to verify the connection. Note: In the JudoManager Desktop application, the Service (top right corner) must be set to Running. Otherwise, weigh-in data will not be synchronized.



2.2 Remote Location

If the computer is not on the same local network as the server, choose Remote location. After confirming, you will be prompted to log in with your user credentials. Upon successful login, the Select competition window will appear. Select your competition, and the main view will populate with the list of registered athletes. In this setup, each weigh-in will be synchronized to the cloud database, and subsequently to the server computer.

Notes
Note: In the JudoManager Desktop application, the Auto Synchronize option (top left corner) must be enabled to ensure proper data synchronization.

2.3 Scale COM Port

Select the COM port that the scale is connected to. The application will automatically detect an active COM port by default.

3. Advanced Settings

This section allows you to further customize the behavior of the WeighIn module:

  • Language – Overrides the default language. If using Local location, it follows the JudoManager Desktop language. If on Remote, the default is English.

  • Main server – Defines the port used to connect to the server computer.

  • Synchronization – Enables Auto synchronization and allows you to set the interval. When enabled, new weights will automatically be pushed to the JudoManager Desktop application.

  • Weighing scale (Baud rate) – Sets the Baud rate for the scale connection. Check your scale’s user manual to find the correct Baud rate. The default is 9600, which is the most commonly used.

4. Additional Information

As soon as the JudoManager server is confirmed in the settings, the athlete data will be automatically loaded into the WeighIn module. To learn more about how to perform weigh-ins, scan barcodes, and manage weight entries, please refer to the Working with the WeighIn Module article.
