22 THE PC CONTROL SOFTWARE (FM and ST versions)
22.1 INTRODUCTION
The processor comes with a intuitive and reliable software running on Windows 95, 98, NT, ME, 2000, XP
platforms and specially designed for remote / direct equipment programming and control.
Through a normal PC, the software allows the remote monitoring of the working conditions of all the
processor sections (from the generation of the signal MPX at level of AGC) as well as the statement of the
messages and the RDS services (whenever RDS option is installed). The software screen reproduces,
effectively and intuitively, all the controls and settings already available from the front panel menu, and
integrates them with new and useful functions for remote programming.
Even the procedure for setting a new curve, or changing an existing one, is extremely simplified: the
simultaneous display of all available parameters in a single window allows the operator to have a direct and
graphic feedback on the interventions made.
Easy to install on any PC (even older models), the software may function in two different modes.
The first one is called bidirectional (or local), as it allows both real-time display and editing of the current
processor configuration. Serial cable (not crossed type) should be not more than 20 meters long.
The second connection mode is called mono directional, as it has no return channel. The typical
application is centralized control – via satellite – of equipment installed in different transmitting sites.
