Daktronics OmniSport 2000 Timing Console - Manual (Page 35)

General Console Features & Operation 17
Section 3: General Console Features & Operation
(Non-Sport Specific)
This section introduces the user to the OmniSport
®
2000 timing console. The console is reliable and
easy to use for beginning operators, but has the ability to expand its capabilities to satisfy the desires
of the most advanced operator. The OmniSport 2000 console comes programmed for swimming,
diving, pace clock, water polo, track, and as an interface for Pro Diving and Pro Synchronized
Swimming programs.
Note when using Pro software programs: The OmniSport 2000 console capabilities are expanded
when used with software programs available for swimming, diving and synchronized swimming.
When using the OmniSport 2000 Pro Swimming Software (Section 6), it becomes an extension of the
console. If the computer running the OmniSport Pro Swimming program were to crash, the operator
can finish timing the event using the OmniSport 2000 console. When using the OmniSport Pro
Swimming software in combination with the console, some operators do all functions in the Pro
software, some use the keypad on the console in combination with the Pro software, while other
operators do everything on the console and only use the Pro software to monitor what is going on.
When using the Pro Diving (Section 9) or Synchronized Swimming (Section 10) programs,
the OmniSport 2000 console becomes an interface between the computer with the Pro software
and the judges consoles, scoreboards, log printer, results, etc.
Remember that only one OmniSport 2000 Pro program should be open on the computer at a time.
3.1 Console LCDs
The OmniSport 2000 console
has three separate two-line by
16 character LCDs to keep the
operator informed (Figure 45).
Section 3.4 describes the
readout on the LCDs when the
console is first powered-up.
3.2 The Keypad
Throughout the manual, keys are referenced with brackets and bold – for example, [Enter].
The far left side of the keypad on the OmniSport 2000 console has a pocket that allows for a
plastic insert with the names of the keys. The table on the following page lists the sport and
the Daktronics part # for the insert needed. For example, the Swimming insert is LL-2549.
Inserts not being used may be stored in another pocket on the bottom of the console. If an
insert is lost or damaged, a printed copy of the insert drawing (located in Appendix A) may
be used until a replacement is ordered.
