Connection Methods
STEP 1: Hy-tek or Finishlynx can also be set up by sending RTD
directly to the M2/M3 controller in the display. For this setup connect
a 9 pin male to 9 pin female cable from the Com Port on the
Hy-Tek/Finishlynx computer to the 9 pin jack, J1, on a Daktronics
signal converter. (If no Com Ports are available, try to use USB to
Serial converters). The output on TB1 pins 1 and 2 will run to pins 2
and 6 of TB1 (CL +/-) on the M2/M3. Verify that the jumpers in the
signal converter are set 12 to N, 13 to P.
STEP 2: Using the M2Config program connect to the sign and create a
port with the following settings:
Type: Direct
Number: 2
Protocol: Daktronics RTD
Baud Rate: 19200
An example is shown in Figure 15
