RDS300/RDS500/RDS1000 User Manual 3.10
PS scrolling: Possibility to scroll by characters or by words a text of up to 64 characters.
Instead of the static PS name. Stored in RAM or EEPROM.
Dynamic PS scrolling: Possibility to automatically scroll by characters or by words a text
coming from automation software. Instead of the static PS name . Stored only in RAM.
As there are 3 different way to configure the display of a PS name a hierarchy has been
designed in the RDS Encoder:
1.
Dynamic PS scroll. If necessary information feed, the encoder this information is prior to
all the others.
2.
PS scroll, second priority of the encoder.
3.
Static PS name, less priority. Eight characters label is sending if Dynamic PS scroll or Ps
scroll are not active.
2. How the PS name can be set up?
One way to configure an encoder is with the UECP (Universal Encoder Communication
Protocol). This protocol is used to configure any compliant RDS encoders
This recommendation rules the way to set up the PS name. (EXPERT user) This configuration
mode will also be used if any specific characters or specific typo Arabic, Cyrillic, Greek, are necessary
because:
- The RDS uses character tables (specified in RDS and RBDS standards), which are different
from the DOS or Windows ones. This means that you have to send the correct hexadecimal value,
the encoder doesn't do any "translation".
- Take care that very
few receivers recognize "special" characters
. Secondly, with ASCII
commands. The RDS Encoder offers the possibility to be configured with ASCII commands. Such
facility should be used when the user doesn’t want or know the UECP protocol and when the
automation software is linked to the encoder via a RS232 connection.
Finally, with the RDS Encoder embedded Web site. RDS Encoder is the first RDS encoder that
offers to be configuring via TCP/IP. Specific web pages have been specially created for the
configuration of the PS and / or RT then information from automation software will be received via
the communication ports.
A. UECP configuration. (Expert only)
By default all com ports have bidirectional spontaneous mode of UECP enabled. The default
com port settings are :
9600,None,8,1
(Baudrate,parity,data bit,stop bit). Use UECP software to send
a static name. If you don’t have UECP software it will be preferable to use ASCII configuration.
STATIC PS configuration with UECP
PS name is set up with UECP MEC 02 . For more detailed information please refer to:
