  2. Go to File from the top menu and select either Open or New.
  3. Go to Frame on the top bar, Select Insert from the list, then select Data Frame.
  4. Click on the Data field parameters tab
  5. Select field Number that is to be edited or added (A Field is a box in which a Data from another source with appear)
  6. Select the row and Col number of where in the graphic the field is to start
  7. Insert - will insert a field before the field selected
  8. Delete - will delete the frame that is selected
  9. Duplicate - will duplicate the frame that is selected
  10. Alignment boxes - There are several alignment boxes used to help align the data.
  11. Select Font - If additional fonts are needed, they can be added in the configure tab for fonts to become available globally, or select the Data Frame Parameters if the Font needs to be added for just this data frame.
  12. Disable - field will be disabled
  13. RTD - allows field to pull data from an external source.  Examples, DakStats, Stat Crew, GSIS, DXTR among many others
    1. Input - Selects the input that the data will be pulled from.  The input must be setup within the configuration/RTD inputs from the Shell
    2. Field Name - Selects the data item from the data string to be displayed.  An ITF file must have been added to the RTD input during setup of the input.  Example of a field name would be Home Score.  If an ITF has not been assigned to the input, no options will be available.
    3. Item # - This is the placement of the data within the data string that will be grabbed.  If there is a Field Name selected this will auto fill.
    4. Length - This is how many data items will be display starting from the Item # selected.  If there is a Field Name Selected this will auto fill.
    5. Justification - This is how the data will appear in the Field.  options are None, Left, Right and Center justification.
    6. Sample Text - is the characters that will appear in the frame when not being displayed.  Purpose is so you can line up the fields.  This will auto fill if a Field name is selected.
    7. Color, Font, Effect from RTD - These are 3 options that can affect the appearance of the data being displayed by the data itself.  Example if Color RTD is selected, and a Line-up is being displayed in the RTD Frame.  The data will determine who is up to Bat, and highlight that player in the lineup.  Font From RTD will do the same thing except change the font type, and Effect will change the Effect based on the data.  Color RTD is the most Common.
    8. Time - Pulls time from the local computer
      1. Time Format - Dictates how the Time will appear
      2. Time Zone Offset - will offset the time zone for the computer
    9. Date - Pulls Date information from the local computer
      1. Language - Selects which language the date appears
      2. Time Zone Offset - will offset the time zone for the computer
    10. Temperature - Pulls Temp data from a temp sensor attached to the DMP-7000
      1. Temperature format - Dictates how the temperature will appear
      2. Sensor - selects the sensor that the temperature is coming from
    11. BMP RTD - Like RTD reads data from external sources, but instead of displaying the data, it will replace the data with a graphic that is named the same as the data.  Mostly used with Headshots or weather information.
      1. Most fields the same as RTD except the following
      2. Fixed Size - Puts the graphic in a specific size on the display
      3. Stretch - Will fill the entire Fixed size if selected (this will change the aspect of the Graphic)
      4. Height and Width - Determines the size of the Field if Fixed Size is selected.
    12. Repeat adding fields and properties until Frame is complete.
    13. Delete any unused Frames
    14. Save Sequence
    15. Test Sequence
