Continuous Computer Status Data Output:
This feature causes the indicator to continuously send data . The data format and the frequency it is sent is
determined by the Scoreboard Mode (SCOREM D.A.N. 213) setting. No data is transmitted when SCOREM is
set to ‘0'. Settings 1-6 transmit data out both the Scoreboard RS-232 and 20mA ports on the J904 connector.
Other settings (7, 8, 10 - 13, 21 - 26, etc...) may only transmit data out the computer port (pin 2 of both J904
& J905). The Check Sum calculation used for some of these data strings is found at the end of this section.
