Serial Connections
Pro Swimming & Results Software (MEET MANAGER)
Using a 10’ (3 m) straight-through 9-pin male to 9-pin female serial cable (Daktronics part
# W-1267, or Radio Shack part # 27-117), connect the male end to J4 EXPANSION PORT
for Pro Swimming software or J6 RESULTS PORT for MEET MANAGER (Figure 26).
Connect the female end to a serial port on the computer with the software (Figure 27).
If the computer does not have a built-in serial port, use a USB-to-serial adapter
(Daktronics part # A-1801 or Radio Shack part # 26-183) as shown in Figure 28. Drivers
for the USB-to-serial adapter should be found on a CD provided with it or on the
manufacturer’s web site.
Matrix Display Connection
Different matrix displays may require different connection methods. A typical connection
method for Daktronics displays uses a 50’ (15.2 m) 9-pin male to 1/4” cable (Daktronics
part # 0A-1240-0032). Connect the 9-pin male end to J5 RTD PORT (Figure 26). Connect
the male 1/4” plug into the appropriate connector on the wall plate.
