7. Under the OUTPUT: Rodeo In Progress (RIP) RTD section, click on the first empty box
in the Name column and type in “Results”. Next click under the Port column, and
select Results from the list. Then select Serial under the Type column.
The difference between Serial and Network is the amount of data being sent across.
In most cases, whether the connection between the DakStats 3000 Rodeo software
and Venus 1500 Real Time is serial or network, select serial. Doing so limits the
amount of data and also eliminates timing delays because there is less data to send.
