FinishLynx Configuration For Live Results
Take advantage of up to the second live results by using our FinishLynx integration. Get started by following these one-time setup steps:
- Download this file
msLive.lss 9.87 KB - Move the msLive.lss to your FinishLynx directory (c:/lynx)
- Be sure you have added static ip addresses on both the FinishLynx and Hytek computers. See FinishLynx guide for Windows 10 here.
- Open "Command Prompt" on your Hytek computer (shown below)
- Type "ipconfig" into the command prompt and hit enter
- Locate the ethernet adapter section.
- Write down your "IPv4 Address" on a sheet of paper. You'll need this later!
- Open FinishLynx program on FinishLynx computer
- Open hidden settings: File -> Ctrl+Shift -> Options
- Select Scoreboards
- Change PortBuffer setting to:32768
- Change UDPSize setting to: 32768
- Click OK
- Select File -> Options
- Make sure "Write LIF File" is turned on
- Create Results Scoreboard
- Go to File -> Options -> Scoreboard
- Create new scoreboard for live results
- Select msLive.lss as the script
- Assign a name, i.e. "MileSplit Results" (optional)
- Set "Serial Port" to Network (UDP)
- Port: 43550

The following settings will need to be updated prior to each meet
- Set LIF folder by going to Options -> Database.
- The input and output folder should be the same.
- Your Hytek .EVT file for the meet should also point to this folder. Note the location
- Run Live Results program on Hytek computer
- Open MileSplit Live and login
- Select your meet
- Point the FinishLynx directory to the same folder where you put your .EVT file
- Click "Begin Publishing"
Your scoreboard is now live!!
Other helpful tips:
- Turn off any firewall settings that might block ports on your timing computer.
- Be sure to use your IPv4 address for the ethernet adapter used to connect to your FinishLynx computer in step 2. Non of the other ip addresses will work.
- If you want to show more than 300 rows, check "Paging" in step 5 and set "Size" to 300
- If the scoreboard isn't working, try changing the Network (UDP) IP address to 255.255.255.255
