Engi PC application 

RDS page 

see section 8.2.2 

Embedded web site 

RDS pages 

see section 9.5 

 

 

With the RDS option, configure up to 2 DSNs each with a main PSN. Among other things, the DSNs allow fast and 
easy changing of the encoder settings remotely. 

 

Note: the RDS is enabled with the RDS/SCA ENCODER parameters. 

 

CURRENT MAIN

 (RDS.DSN) 

This parameter indicates the current DSN number. 

 

MAIN DSN  

 

PI

 (RDS.MAINDSN.PI) – read/write

 

 

With this parameter, set the PI code (Program Identifier) used by RDS receivers to identify the station while searching 
for a frequency using AF or EON-AF codes. 

4-digit hexadecimal code 

 

PTY

 (RDS.MAINDSN.PTY) – read/write 

With this parameter, set the PTY (Program Type). Select on 32 RDS or RDBS preset codes as given in the table below.
