tion  by  jog  wheel  selection  using  Menu  65,  or  by  sending  it  a 
UECP=  commands  using  the  Terminal utility.    (Terminal utility 
discussion begins on Page 31.)  Once the UECP mode is enabled 
on  a  port  or  ports,  the encoder will respond  only to  UECP hex 
commands on those ports.  The 730 Encoder supports many of 
the UECP functions found in SPB 490. 

The  complete  SPB  490  Specification  may  be  downloaded  from 
the RDS Subcommittee site: 

www.rds.org.uk/rds98/pdf/UECP_6_02_final_060912.pdf 

INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE 

Install 

Software 

First! 

The  provided  software  supports  Inovonics’  703,  720  and  730 
RadioData encoders and runs on any Windows® computer with 
Microsoft’s Windows® XP or later operating systems.  Software 
should  be  installed  on  the  computer 

before

  the  computer  is 

connected to the 730 Encoder.  The same software is used for 
USB,  serial  or network  connections  between the  computer  and 
the 730 Encoder. 

Microsoft 

.NET Framework 

730  Encoder  software utilizes  components  of  Microsoft’s  .NET 
framework.  This is a utility that has been distributed through 
routine Microsoft Updates,  so it should already be resident on 
any properly-maintained PC. 

If software installation pauses because .NET files are not found 
on the computer, .NET should be downloaded directly from the 
Microsoft Website.  When encoder software is downloaded from 
the Inovonics Website, the .NET installation is automatic. 

We recommend downloading any .NET updates following instal-
lation  of  the  ‘core’  components  required  for  encoder  software 
installation. 

Insert the CD-ROM into the computer’s appropriate drive.  The 
disc has an auto-run utility that will start the Windows Installer.  
If  auto-run  has  been  disabled,  open  the  CD  drive  folder  and 
double-click the 

setup.exe

 icon. 

The  image  shown  at  the 
right  should  appear  on 
your  screen  in  short  or-
der.    This  is  the  703/ 
720/730  Encoder  Setup 
Wizard  that  will  guide 
you  through  software  in-
stallation.    For  a  typical 
installation,  simply  con-
tinue to click: 

Next>

 until 

the  program  has  been 
completely 

installed, 

then  click: 

Close

  to  exit 

the Wizard.
