DSTI: Where is the .DSI file located in DSTI and how do I install it?

Potential Symptoms

.DSI file when initially configuring DSTI or updating its configuration

Environment

  • Product: Daktronics Scoring and Timing Interface -DSTI
  • Components: DSTI used with DakStats, Stat Crew/The Automated Scorebook, or any sports interface utilizing DSTI
  • Control System: DSTI; Daktronics Scoring and Timing Interface
DSI files contain configuration information (ports, settings, baud rates, etc.) that cannot be modified in the field. The end user must address desired configuration changes through Daktronics.

Resolution

  • The .DSI file (Daktronics Scoring-Timing Interface.dsi) should be placed in one of the following locations on the DSTI computer, dependent upon operating system architecture:
    • For 64 bit machines:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Daktronics\DSTI
    • For 32 bit machines:  C:\Program Files\Daktronics\DSTI
