2.1 Installation
To install the software, follow the steps below:
1. Go to dakfiles.daktronics.com/downloads/Sports_Products/DSTI/DSTIInstall.exe
to download the latest version of the software.
2. Click Run. If an additional window opens, click Run once more.
3. Follow the onscreen instructions to install the software.
Note: In the Custom Setup screen of the installation, the user must select whether or not to
install a Startup Shortcut (Figure 2). With the Startup Shortcut installed, DSTI will start
automatically when the computer is powered on.
2.2 Daktronics Configuration
The standard installation directory for DSTI is “C:\Program Files\Daktronics\DSTI”
(or “C:\Program Files (x86)\Daktronics\DSTI” for Windows 7 computers). The DSTI
configuration file is “Daktronics Scoring-Timing Interface.DSI”.
DSI files contain configuration information (ports, settings, baud rates, etc.) that cannot be
modified in the field. The end-user must address desired configuration changes through
Daktronics. Typically, the DSI file is set up at Daktronics and sent to the installation site so
the customer does not change the settings. This allows Daktronics to keep records of each
facility’s file in case it gets deleted or corrupted.
