Which Daktronics setup do I have
Daktronics boards connect to FinishLynx in a few different ways, and what HyTek does depends on the board. Find the setup that looks like yours, then follow its page.
How to fix it
Which setup is yours?
- Football or track scoreboard with an All Sport 5000 console: FinishLynx sends the running clock and results to the console over a serial cable. See LED scoreboard (All Sport 5000)
- Track scoreboard with 6, 8 or 10 lines of lanes and times: FinishLynx sends the running time and lane results over a serial cable, through a Daktronics signal converter. The settings are in the Daktronics guide below
- Small portable timer in the infield (TI-2020, TI-2021 or TR-3101): running time only, from FinishLynx over a serial cable through a signal converter. The settings are in the Daktronics guide below
- LED video display (video board): FinishLynx sends running time and results over the network. See LED video displays
- LED message display (Galaxy or M3): FinishLynx sends running time and results over the network. The settings are in the Daktronics guide below
- OmniSport 2000 console with track push buttons: Daktronics' own timing console runs the board. FinishLynx isn't part of this setup
Where HyTek fits
- HyTek Meet Manager can't send data to a football or track scoreboard. On those boards, the clock and results come from FinishLynx (or the OmniSport console)
- On a video display or message display, HyTek can also send start lists, results and team scores to the board, with its optional Alpha Scoreboard Interface (bought from HyTek)
- HyTek connects to the FinishLynx computer over the network, through a shared folder: see HyTek
Every setup above is covered in Daktronics' Track & Field Interfaces for Scoreboards & Displays setup guide.
