PIN – PTY SERVICES
PIN / PTY EDITOR allows you to set up to 32 different PIN / PTY / PTYN items.
-
PIN – Programme Item Number
The PIN code will be used to enable the receivers and recorders designated to use this feature to respond to the
programme item or items that the user has pre-selected. The time used is the time set in the programme with the
day of the month added to avoid confusion.
-
PTY - Programme Type
This is an identification number which will be transmitted with each programme item and which specifies the current
programme type from a set of 31 type options. This code can be used for tuning searches. What is more, the code
will enable receivers and recorders suitable to be preset to respond solely to programme items of the desired type.
The last number, i.e. 31, is reserved for alarm identification purposes, the said function being designed to activate an
audio signal when a receiver is in receive standby mode
-
PTYN – Programme Type Name
The PTYN feature is used to provide further information on the current PTY. The PTYN allows a more specific PTY
description to be displayed (max. 8 characters), which the radio station may decide of its own choice (e.g. PTY = 4:
Sport and PTYN: Football). The PTYN is not intended to change the default eight PTY characters which will be used
during the search or standby modes, only to provide more programme type detail once a programme has been
tuned into. If the radio station is satisfied with a default PTY name, there is no need to use further data capacity for
the PTYN. The Programme Type Name is not envisaged for use for automatic PTY selection and should not be
used to provide information in sequence.
NB:
the MAIN PTY can only be programmed in compliance with the Protocol UECP.
The other fields (from
PTY/PIN01 to PTY/PIN31) are related solely to the
Extended UECP
RDS (customised) programming mode.
To enter the PTY/PIN:
- select a field (MAIN PTY, PTY01, PTY02, etc.) by clicking in the yellow area: the line selected will be displayed at the
bottom of the window (e.g. the figure above shows PTY 1 selected).
- select the PIN Date/Time (Day, Hour, Min) and the PTY from the list. Enter another PTYN (max. 8 char.) in the field at
the bottom.
-
click on the ‘Update’ button
to refresh the data or click on
to delete it.
NB: The Main PTY/PIN (also known as PTY 00) is transmitted by default. Using the SCHEDULER panel (see
FOLLOWING PAGES) you can schedule several PTY sequences.
