Daktronics Matrix Displays with Colorado Timing Systems 11
Section 3: Daktronics Matrix Displays with
Colorado Timing Systems
This section assumes that the scoreboard output in the Colorado Timing System (CTS) timer is set
to its default settings and that the CTS timer and Hy-
Tek’s MEET MANAGER are already
communicating.
First the MEET MANAGER needs to be configured for communications to the Venus 7000 or Venus
1500 Real Time Data. After that there will be separate sub sections to configure the Venus 7000 or
Venus 1500 controlled display.

3.1 Hy-Tek
’s MEET MANAGER Settings
For each timing console that is timing a swimming event, there will be a computer running
Hy-Tek‟s MEET MANAGER. Each computer will provide the start list, results and team
scores for that pool. In special situations where more information is needed, an additional
feed direct from a second Hy-Tek computer to the Venus 7000 computer may be set up for
Extended Requests. Refer to DWG-0539079 for these settings.
Note: In order to run more than one computer with Hy-Tek‟s MEET MANAGER, the MEET
MANAGER must have the Pro Network / Internet option installed.
1. Connect a null modem cable from the Hy-
Tek computer to the Venus computer. If the
distance is greater than 50-feet, signal
converters will be required.
2. From the main screen in Hy-Tek, select
Set-up > Alpha Scoreboard INTERFACE.
Select Generic Serial from the list and click
OK (Figure 12).
3. From the main menu in Hy-Tek, select Run >
Interface > Scoreboard (GENSER) >
Configure Serial Port.
