What special settings do I need to make when a large number of keypads are used such as 16 keypads in a four judge panel womens meet?
You need to increase the keypad interval. This number should be the number of keypads you are using plus 2 or 3. This setting is in the Setup screen of ScoreGen. The keypad interval for 8 keypads should be set at 10. The keypad interval for 16 keypads should be set at 18. The keypad interval for 24 keypads should be set at 27. Be aware that high numbers here slow down the keypad response time (e.g. with a setting of 27 it takes 2.7 seconds for the computer to respond after each key stroke of a blue key). Also the power needed to drive 24+ keypads can become an issue. If the junction box alarm goes off because of too many keypads, you can use a second junction box with a power supply that is not connected to a computer. Connect this into the end of the line of your devices. You can also use two networked computers sharing the same database and using one junction box per computer to split the keypads.
