Programming the System Settings

PROGRAMMING THE SYSTEM
SETTINGS
Note: The control must be in Unlocked Mode before you can change the System
Settings or Configuration Settings. Refer to
page 140.
Under normal circumstances, you should not have to change the System
Settings configuration of your MP-70/50, as this is normally done at the Fair-Play
factory. Also, the control has a memory circuit that retains game information in
case of loss of power.
However, you may need to change the SYSTEM SETTINGS under certain
situations. A typical reason why the System Settings would need to be changed
is if some change occurs in the display system hardware. For example, if you
connect a baseball scoreboard to an MP-70/50 that you have been using to run a
football scoreboard, you need to adjust both the system and sport-specific
settings. Otherwise the game data cannot be correctly displayed on the baseball
scoreboard, because the control is still configured to run the football scoreboard.
The MP-70/50 has two programming levels: SYSTEM SETTINGS and CHANGE
SPORT. The SYSTEM SETTINGS, which is explained in this chapter, allow you
to configure the MP-70/50 for use with your particular Fair-Play scoreboard
display systems.
The MP-70/50 system settings allow you to do the following:

Specify the type of scoreboard you are using.

Send data to the scoreboard in either MP-69 or MP-70 format.

Choose a 12-hour or 24-hour time of day clock.
The CHANGE SPORT level allows you to set the MP-70/50 to monitor and
update game statistics for a particular sport. Details about CHANGE SPORT are
located under S
ELECTING AND CHANGING SPORTS
Note: If the SYSTEM SETTINGS are incorrect, prompts in CHANGE SPORT
may not correlate to the scoreboard model you are trying to operate and
unexpected or undesired control or scoreboard behavior could result.
