Version 2026/01

  • When exporting periodically results to Webres, it is now possible to separate courses by H/D.
  • If more than 90% of the live results have been uploaded to Webres and you attempt to close the screen, a reminder will appear to publish the final results.
  • The "Bib search" for individuals in relay or team races now also works according to the pattern x.y (runner Y of team X)
  • Bug fix: Import of "Luxembourg Orienteering" registrations from O'Punch, where there were issues with individual member numbers.
  • Bug fix: Import of multi-day registrations from OrienteeringOnline, where selected individual days were being ignored.
  • By removing the SPORTident OCX component (only working in 32 Bits), HELGA is now also available in a dedicated 64 Bits version. Instead of the OCX, the external SPORTident.Reader application is used to store the read-out data into a separate MS Access database. HELGA is then just reading that database for checking the course.
    HELGA remains of course available in 32 Bits with the OCX, which guarantees faster processing times.

    The "Connect & Test" button allows to enter the new management screen for the SI Reader connections. Please note that in the 32 Bits version, both connection types are available, but not simultaneaously.


    1) The first choice is to use one single Reader connection, or two distinct ones for Persons and Finish.
    2) Select the SI Reader database to connect to
    3) Once connected, select the Output Event ID from the HELGA drop-down (a "base number" is suggested, but after at least one reading in SI Reader with an "extended" number with some suffixes, more will be selectable).
    4) When a SPORTident device is connected, press Open/Close to start reading. Once stored, HELGA will be able to process the data.

    Please note that the TEST button only recognises SI Card data that has been punched after opening the TEST screen. For Start and Finish, the data can be spooled, and you can see the number of "Readings waiting". This pipeline can be Cleared or the counter Refreshed.
