DSTI Setup
1. Open DSTI by going to Start > All
Programs > Daktronics > DSTI > DSTI.
2. Select the correct Sport and Interface.
Note: DSTI must remain open at all times or
communication with your display controller will stop.
All Sport Interface for Basketball & Volleyball
The DSTI All Sport Interface for Basketball and Volleyball allows Stat Crew
software to connect to an All Sport
® 5000 scoreboard controller to operate
Daktronics stats displays.
Note: Before beginning, make sure the All Sport controller is connected
to a scoreboard and that it can update the scoring and stats information.
1. Connect a 9-pin serial cable between the serial port on the back of the
Stat Crew computer and the COMPUTER PORT J5 on the back of the
All Sport 5000 controller.
2. Follow the above instructions for setting up the Basketball or
Volleyball software as well as TasComms32.
3. In DSTI, ensure the appropriate Sport and Interface are selected.
4. In the Basketball or Volleyball program, open a completed or
incomplete game that has player statistics entered.
5. With a competition opened, the message log at the bottom of the
DSTI screen should display the competition that is currently open.
6. When the interface is functioning properly, pressing the [Player],
[Indiv. Sub.], and [Mass Sub.] buttons on the All Sport 5000
controller will display a message stating Stats Received: Key Disabled.
Note: Stat Crew software only sends data when a play is entered or when
[F4] is pressed. If data is not immediately appearing on the display, try
pressing [F4] and/or entering a play. Pressing the Start Monitoring
button in TasComms32 is another way to send Stat Crew data to DSTI.
Testing Stat Crew/DSTI Communication
1. In DSTI, go to View > Monitor Ports
2. Select the StatCrew Stats Port, and then click OK.
3. Send information from the Stat Crew computer by opening a
game and entering a play in Stat Crew.
If communication is successful, after a few seconds data will appear on
the top section of the DSTI monitor window. The bottom section is for
monitoring data going out of DSTI.
Next Step
With the Stat Crew and DSTI programs communicating, refer to
ED-15578 to set up the Venus ® 7000 inputs and display sequences.
