General Console Features & Operation
3.1 Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs)
The OmniSport 2000 console has
three separate two-line by 16-
character LCDs to keep the
operator informed (Figure 22).
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 Rodeo insert is Daktronics part # LL-2609. 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.
Note: Remove the protective plastic film from the insert before using it in the console.
The right side of the keypad (Figure 23) has a section of permanent keys. These keys include
the numbers [0]–[9], [CLEAR/NO], [ENTER/YES], and arrows.
Number Key Pad
Press these keys to enter specific numerical information into the timer. The data may pertain
to a specific lane, an event number, or a particular setting among others.
Arrow Keys
These keys are used for menu navigation. The up and down arrows are also labeled NEXT
and LAST; their function will depend on what the LCD is prompting the operator to do.
Enter/Yes
The [ENTER/YES] key has two functions:
Completes an action. As a reminder to press this key, an asterisk appears on the LCD.
Serves as [YES] for input prompts (Y).
