Static Configuration
The image above shows the configurations options for this app that are accessed through the device settings system. (This image was taken from an iPad, the look of this screen will be slightly different on an iPhone or iPod Touch.) Settings on this screen are stored and are applied every time that the app starts. Some of these settings can be overridden by controls within the app, but most are only set here.
The settings are as follows:
- Timer Defaults
- These controls set the timing mode when the app starts
- Number of Timers
- The number of contestants that can be simultaneously timed. "Exactly One" is considerably less flexible than "One or More", but is simpler to use and read. This can be changed within the app.
Default: Exactly One
