Display Troubleshooting

11.2 Player Diagnostics

DMP-4060 is the player in a

GalaxyPro

®

GP3 display. The

player is located in the lower-

left portion of the display in an

environmental enclosure. The

player receives incoming signal

from the control computer and

routes that signal to the ProLink

Router (PLR). The player has

several LEDs on it that can be

useful when troubleshooting a

communication issue. Figure 24

explains those LEDs.

11.3 PLR Diagnostics

The ProLink Router (PLR),

receives signal from the display

player, which transfers it on

to the modules through SATA

cables. GalaxyPro

®

GP3 displays

are equipped with a redundant

signal path, meaning two SATA

cables are connected to each

module. If one of the two SATA

cables fail, the module continues

to receive data from the other SATA cable and the display continues functioning normally.

PLR Self-Test

When put into self-test mode, the PLR tests

for correct operation and displays pass/fail

status on the 7-segment display.

To put the PLR into self-test mode, loop a

SATA cable between ports A and B. Then

take a fiber cable and connect the fiber

ports together, as shown in Figure 25. Once

the cables are connected, cycle power to

the PLR and it will boot-up in self-test

mode. Following is a table of a few possible

messages. Contact Daktronics Technical

Support for additional information or

questions.
