1.5 Daktronics Nomenclature
Figure 5: Module Numbering Example – 24x80 Front
To fully understand some Daktronics drawings, such as schematics, it is necessary to
know how those drawings label various components. This information is also useful
when trying to communicate maintenance or troubleshooting efforts.
A module is the building block of the sign.
Each module measures 8 pixels high by 8
pixels wide. By placing modules side-by-side
and on top of one another, Daktronics can
design and build signs of any size. A person
can easily remove individual modules from the
sign if required.

illustrates how
Daktronics numbers modules on a Galaxy

sign.
