Front-panel USB port, convenient for setting service flags and entering static RDS data

NOTE: For USB interface with a PC for local programming of the 'static' data registers,

software must be installed on the computer before it is connected to the encoder. Refer to software

installation instructions beginning in section "Programming Options" on page 26.

ASCII Communication syntax is explained in section "ASCII Programming Syntax" on page 43.

For fast and easy encoder programming via the serial USB port, Windows

Entry Software routines have been supplied on a CD-ROM. This software also may be downloaded

from the DEVA Broadcast Ltd. Website. Alternatively, the encoder may be addressed with any

computer running a 'terminal emulation' program (e.g.: HyperTerminal, normally supplied with

Microsoft Windows

Static PS and other IDs, flags, the Alternative Frequency list and operating mode options are

uploaded into non-volatile encoder memory from a PC with USB connection. If Dynamic PS or

RadioText messaging is not used, a slogan, phone number or advertising messages can also be

entered manually into the 64-character Dynamic PS and RadioText fields. These will be displayed

on the radio faceplate as a repetitive scrolling-PS or static RadioText messages. Keep in mind that

RadioText and Dynamic PS are separate functions, both of which are simultaneously available

with the SmartGen Micro.

Once static data has been uploaded, the encoder may be disconnected from the computer,

relocated to another operating point, or reconnected to an alternative data source for dynamic

messaging. This may be a hard-disk-based station automation system that provides song title and

artist, plus ads or station promos. The automation system must be configured to the encoder's

communication port and programmed to deliver dynamic data in proper syntax as explained by the

instructions in section "ASCII Programming Syntax" on page 43.
