the Signal IN terminals and can re-drive this signal to other client drivers on the Signal OUT terminals.

The maximum wire distance between the host driver and client driver is 2,000 feet.

Some multiple-module DataTime

displays use host/client displays, which do not contain a driver and may

use either client or host digit outputs. The DF-1012 model uses the host/client configuration.

Address Settings

The address of each driver is set using an eight-position DIP-switch
(S1), and the address is based on that driver’s position in the display
system. If a single-line display is used, the address will typically be
Address 01. This means that switch 1 is turned ON and the remaining
7 switches are in the OFF position. This is the default address set
when each display is shipped. In multiple-product displays, the
address determines which line of information is shown on the driver’s
digits. The switch is set using a binary address. Use the table and the
examples in

Figure 13 for setting the address.

Note: Some older drivers set the address of each driver using an
address plug (Daktronics part # 0A-1150-0122) in J19. The address,
either using a switch or a plug, needs to be set for each driver.
