This page has settings related to a club's standard set of control stands and pin punches.

You can configure which control code Condes uses as the first code when you create a new control in an event file.  You can also configure a standard set of predefined control codes, for example those belonging to an orienteering club's standard set of control stands.  You can also configure the pin punch patterns for these controls. 

When creating a new control

First control code

When Condes suggests a control code for a new control, it does not suggest numbers lower than this.

When creating a new control, use codes from this set of codes

If this box is checked, when creating a new control Condes will try to find an unused control code from among the set configured on this page.

Standard set of control stands (codes)

The standard control codes and pin punch patterns is stored in a file on your PC.

The standard file name for the punches file is "Condes standard punches.DAT". The standard location for the file is the folder for Condes event files, which you configure in the Folder Settings dialog.

Saved in this file

You can set the name of the punch file that Condes uses'

Set of codes and punch patterns

Here you can add, delete, modify, and print the punches in the predefined set.

Note that the file remains on your PC, and the predefined codes and punch patterns are not copied to the event file.  If you copy (or e-mail) the event file to another PC, the predefined punch patterns remain on your PC.  You need to copy the file to the other PC for Condes to use these punches on that PC.
