3.4 Advanced Data Importing
Packages
Packages tell the DDM application what types of incoming data to look out for, similar to
what an ITF does for the display controller. Incoming data sources will typically include other
Daktronics products, such as an All Sport
® controller, for scoring and timing information.
In order to utilize packages for importing data, there are three major steps to complete:
1. Create a Package Suite
2. Create an Input Port
3. Input Mapping
