Chapter 6: Additional Bridgemate functions
Bridgemate Pro Control has a number of functions specifically designed for the Bridgemate scoring
devices.
Reading scores manually in Bridgemate
All entered scores are also saved in the local memory of the Bridgemates. If for whatever reason a
Bridgemate is unable to feed a board result to the server, you have the option of reading the scores
manually in Bridgemate Pro Control at the end of the session. This is done using the menu Session à
Read Bridgemate Locally.
To use this function, it is necessary to connect a Bridgemate communication cable to the serial port of
your PC. This communication cable is available from your Bridgemate supplier.
Connect the Bridgemate to the communication cable via the data port at the back of the Bridgemate.
All board results are read and stored in the result file score, including scores that have already been
sent. These scores can now be processed in your scoring program in the usual way.
This function can be used for example in the event of PC and server data loss. See chapter 7 for more
information about the applicable procedures in the event of data loss.
