After all connections are made, power on the OmniSport 2000 timer. Initially the LCDs
confirm the product, the version and software identification as illustrated below.
In most cases, the timer name should be set to “OMNI-1”.
Selecting a different name sets the console to a specific
IP address when there are multiple consoles on a network
(up to 4). Use [↑][↓] to change the name as needed, and
then press [ENTER] to continue.
Using the numeric keypad, enter the date and then press
[ENTER] . Enter time of day in 24 hour format and then
press [ENTER] . The date and time appears on each event
printed from the OmniSport 2000 console.
Note: If the current date/time is not set and the console
is connected to the Pro software, the console will
take the computer’s date and time.
Use [↑][↓] on the console to select the desired sport, and
then press [ENTER] .
If the timing console includes a radio, read Setting Radio Channels (p.19) . If the
console does not include a radio, skip to Updating Software in the Console (p.21) on
how to receive software updates from Daktronics. For further explanations on swimming,

The radio receiver units used in Daktronics scoreboards have a channel (CHAN) switch
that can be set from 1–8. The receivers also have a broadcast group (BCAST) setting. The
broadcast group defines a group of radio receivers that “listen” to the channel selected
on the channel switch as well as “listen” for data sent out on their broadcast channel.
Note: The number of available broadcast groups varies depending on the generation
and region of radio receiver: Gen V receivers have 1–4, while Gen VI receivers
have 1–8. Gen VI units sold internationally (Europe/Asia) only have groups 1–4.
Each radio receiver will accept data sent from the broadcast channel of its respective
broadcast group, as well as data sent from the “Master Broadcast” channel. This is
selected when the console is set to BCAST 0 and CHAN 00.
In this type of system, the receiver unit at the scoreboard must have the channel switch
set to a specific channel. The operator must know which channel is selected in the
scoreboard. The operator must then enter the specific channel when prompted during
console startup.
