Lap counters, can you export data?

[littlened]

Just wondering if it's possible to export all the results for a days racing using the lap counting software clubs use?

The reason I ask is that it would be very easy for a club to export the days data and upload it to a website where it would be available for everyone to see/comment on.

I'm not sure, I'm just talking in general. I know tracks use different software, but I'm just wondering if any of the software has an export function.

I imagine lapfree software doesn't have the option to export. but what about the software used with AMB?

At Southport, we use RC-Timing and you can save the meeting as a HTML file and load directly to the website, as we have done here.

I know you can with BBK software, and I would imagine most of the other systems offer this function unless you are running them in demo mode.

I was more thinking that the export would export to a CSV file, so that the data can be imported into a database, and then pulled from the database and displayed as HTML. When the data is in a database it gives you much more control over what you can do with it.

well if you can create a HTML file, you can create a CSV file from that....seems to me like you are creating a lot of work for yourself though.
