Direct Connection to the Internet:
This method requires Sport Loader version 1.104 or higher. With this method, you connect your System 6 directly to a network connection to the Internet via its Ethernet port. The System 6 will update to the latest versions of the software that you have purchased.
Download Instructions

Floppy disk method:
After downloading, check the contents of the disk to verify that the capitalization and extension are intact as follows:

Swimming.1.xxx
Diving.1.xxx
WaterPolo.1.xxx
PaceClock.1.xxx
Synchro.1.xxx
System6

xxx = current version number If it has been truncated or changed in any way, please rename the file accordingly.

With the System 6 sports timer turned on, place the disk with the successfully loaded sport module into the floppy disk drive. From the main screen (displaying the Colorado Time Systems logo), press the 'Install' softkey followed by "Install from Floppy" and allow the sport module to fully copy. The screen will display a box indicating which files are being installed; when this box disappears, the module has been installed.

USB drive method:
To update System6 software via USB Flash drives, download the appropriate updates from the page and place them in the top level (not in a subfolder) of a USB drive. Plug the USB drive into either USB port on the System6 and press "Update from USB" under the "Install" menu in SportLoader.

If you have a USB enabled timer, you must install the compatibility libraries to receive any sport updates after April 14, 2009. Before installing the libraries, you must install SportLoader (v1.120 or greater). Failure to load the libraries will prevent new sport programs from running on USB enabled timers. To check to see if you have the compatibility libraries installed, look for the label "(w/ lib updates") in the "Linux Version" section of the SportLoader Diagnostics screen.

Click here to download the compatibility libraries
When install the compatibility libraries, please make sure there are no other sport programs or copies of SportLoader on the USB drive. The libraries must be installed in isolation of all other updates.
