Page 13: Winrds+ Software Introduction
/RDS-TFT2HE, /RDS-TFT3HE & /RDS-TFT4HE ELETTRONICA 5. WINRDS+ Software Introduction 5.1 WINRDS+ Application WINRDS+ is an application based on documents, each document (file) represents a RDS system and contains all information relating to it. You can open multiple documents and communicate with several devices simultaneously, provided that each works towards a different serial, or you can have multiple devices on same serial port, provided that only one at a time is allowed to send. - Page 14 /RDS-TFT2HE, /RDS-TFT3HE & /RDS-TFT4HE ELETTRONICA The users who need to see motion written on the car radio must use the window “PS Messages” that allows to have up to 8 sliding messages each long up to 128 characters or compound from 2 to 16 PS that rotating with personalized times. These messages, if enabled, are transmitted instead of PS within the PSN and do not depend on DNS enabled.

/RDS-TFT2HE, /RDS-TFT3HE & /RDS-TFT4HE ELETTRONICA 6.16 Insertion of Radio Texts The “Radio Texts” window allows you to define up to 16 texts with a maximum length of 64 characters, which are broadcast from equipment on 2A and/or 2B groups. These messages are transmitted in order in which they are located and after the last message you start over again. The “Rip” attribute defines how many times a message is repeated before moving on to the next on list. The “type” parameter defines how the radio will process the message, or if it is defined as type “A” the radio will write a new message over the old one without deleting it and if it is of type “B” radio delete the previous message and write the new one. The difference... -
Page 30: Insertion Of Frequency List
/RDS-TFT2HE, /RDS-TFT3HE & /RDS-TFT4HE ELETTRONICA 6.17 Insertion of Frequency List When an issuer has more frequencies on which transmits should fill one or more lists in order to provide all the frequencies to listening radio. This program allows you to fill up to a maximum of 100 lists of 25 type “A” frequencies or up to 100 lists of 12 type “B” frequencies for each of the DNS. Alternative frequencies are managed with the “Alternative Frequencies Main PSN” window. To edit or to view a detailed list of frequencies make DOUBLE CLICK with mouse on the list, to create a new one please scroll the list until the end and then make DOUBLE CLICK below the last list available. -
Page 31: Insertion Of Eon Frequencies List
/RDS-TFT2HE, /RDS-TFT3HE & /RDS-TFT4HE ELETTRONICA To create a type “B” list select a frequency in the range “list header type B”, making sure that only the first 12 frequencies of the list enter in a list of type B against the 25 frequencies of a type A list. 6.18 Insertion of EON frequencies list Each EON can have its own frequencies list that will be sent on 14A and/or 14B groups. As opposed to alternative frequencies of Main-PSN, these are mapped and so this software allows you to compile long lists up to 100 bytes or rather 33 couples of frequencies. -

Page 34: Transmission Groups
/RDS-TFT2HE, /RDS-TFT3HE & /RDS-TFT4HE ELETTRONICA 6.20 Transmission Groups Each DNS can transmit the RDS groups in a personalized way. Advanced users can create their own sequence using the Manual Configuration section. With the “EMPTY LIST” button you delete all groups. With the “DELETE” button you remove the selected group from the list. - Page 35 /RDS-TFT2HE, /RDS-TFT3HE & /RDS-TFT4HE ELETTRONICA The Address section allows you to assign an identification number of the position in which it will be installed (1-1023) and an identification number of the equipment itself (1-63). This allows to the RDS to recognize only the messages for all and those addressed to him personally. If a device is configured as a Site=9 and equipment=5 it will be recognized itslef on 4 addresses. Address 1: Site = 0 Equipment = 0 Address 2: Site = 9 Equipment = 0 Address 3: Site = 0 Equipment = 5 Address 4: Site = 9 Equipment = 5 The R.T.C. section allows you to set the time and enable the clock transmission through the 4A groups to minute change.
