This detailed documentation is part of the download and available as online-help.
At this point you have the opportunity to take a look at the functionality and usability of the application before downloading it.
The tutorials are intended to help you get started with the software, but they are not intended as a substitute for the extensive documentation for the individual programs.
For Manny the software download is splitted into two packages.
The first package Office contains the software
of the Competition Office.
So the computer for the preparation of the
Competition does not have the entire scoring software installed.
The second package Manny contains all components for
the entire scoring software.
These are in detail chief, jury and the public displays

In addition, the software packages for Android and RaspberryPi
only contain a limited range of functions.
