HOW TO TYPE
In these programming instructions the exact ASCII syntax to be entered on the keyboard will be
given in the font used in this example: DPS=HELLO8 . Specifically, the field: DPS, the equal sign
and the word HELLO would be typed, followed immediately by pressing the Enter key. We will
use 8 as the symbol for Enter.
USING ALL-CAPS
Programming commands should be typed in ALL CAPS (capital letters) and messages should
be kept as simple as possible. Though the encoder will accept lowercase letters and all ASCII
punctuation in the DPS and TEXT fields, RDS radio displays have limited character sets and may
show ambiguous lowercase characters or gibberish. To assure readability, keep the keyboard Caps
Lock key engaged and avoid fancy punctuation. 'Smileys' are not a good idea.
CORRECTING MISTAKES
Under HyperTerminal, use the Enter key to drop to a new line, if required, and use either the
Backspace key or the keyboard's directional arrows to navigate within a text entry. Overtyping an
entry will automatically replace the previous characters. What is shown on the screen before the
Enter key is pressed is what will be sent to the encoder.
