is connected to the Pro software, the console will
take the computer’s date and time.
Use [↑][↓] on the console to select the desired sport, and
then press [ENTER].

Setting Radio Channels

The radio receiver units used in Daktronics scoreboards have a channel (CHAN) switch
that can be set from 1–8. The receivers also have a broadcast group (BCAST) setting. The
broadcast group denes a group of radio receivers that “listen” to the channel selected
on the channel switch as well as “listen” for data sent out on their broadcast channel.
Note: The number of available broadcast groups varies depending on the generation
and region of radio receiver: Gen V receivers have 1–4, while Gen VI receivers
have 1–8. Gen VI units sold internationally (Europe/Asia) only have groups 1–4.
Each radio receiver will accept data sent from the broadcast channel of its respective
broadcast group, as well as data sent from the “Master Broadcast” channel. This is
selected when the console is set to BCAST 0 and CHAN 00.
In this type of system, the receiver unit at the scoreboard must have the channel switch
set to a specic channel. The operator must know which channel is selected in the
scoreboard. The operator must then enter the specic channel when prompted during
console startup.
