4. Under the INPUT: Timer section, click on the first empty box in the Name column and
type in “Timer”. Next click under the Port column, and select Timer from the list.
5. Double-click the next empty box under the Configure Ports section.
6. Back in the DLStreams Wizard window (Figure 17), enter the following settings:
Type: UDP/IP
Name: “Results”

Udp Port: “20000”
Output: Broadcast
Click Finish to save the port settings.
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. In most
cases, whether the connection between the DakStats 3000 Rodeo software and Venus
7000 is physically a serial or network, select Serial as the Type. Doing so limits the
amount of data and also eliminates delays because there is less data to send.
8. The settings in the Input/Output Configuration window should look like Figure 18
(this window will look like Figure 19 when using DCS):
