THE PC CONTROL SOFTWARE (FM , ST/WEB, TV versions) ENG
Page 62
It is now possible to set up or modify some modes regarding the software window display on the computer screen, and
communications between the computer and the processor.
- If selected, the option ‘Always On Top’ will always keep the control program window in the foreground of the
desktop.
- If selected, the option ‘High Rate’ allows you to select the higher refresh speed (30 Hz) in displaying the Vu Meter on
the screen. Choose the default speed (10 Hz) if the higher speed does not allow smooth display of the meters.
- If selected, the option ‘Local mode’ allows you to ‘force’ a second connection attempt by the software to the
processor. Please note that this option is automatically selected by the software, and that manual intervention may
only be necessary in certain rare instances.
28.6 LOAD, SAVE AND RESTORE FUNCTIONS
It is possible to save and immediately recall any configuration / setting of the processor using the Load, Save and
Restore keys present on the Setup screen.
The window shows some files pre-loaded. These are files regarding some of the most commonly used configurations:
- ByPass_Mpx Test enables the ‘bypass’ processor setting
- Modulation_Reference_Tone enables the setting to generate the ‘Reference Tone’
- Rds_AF_Method_A_Demo shows an example of setting the Alternative Frequency RDS per method A
- Rds_AF_Method_B_Demo shows an example of setting the Alternative Frequency RDS per method B
- Rds_Ps_Scrolling_Demo shows an example of setting up a scrolling PS message
- Rds_Sequence_Demo shows an example of setting up a standard PS message
28.7 LOADING AN EXISTING CONFIGURATION
- Click the Load key: it will open a window showing all the available configuration files. These files have the extension
apc (audio processor configuration).
- Select the desired file and click ‘open’.
- At this point, the software allows you to check the level of all parameters regarding the chosen configuration, without
allowing you to edit them (‘View only’ mode). To edit, exit the Setup window (by pressing OK in the lower right) and
access the single configuration windows.
- Once you are certain that the correct configuration has been chosen, you may possible load that configuration into
the processor via the ‘Send All’ button.
- If the configuration you are about to load is not the desired one, you may exit the procedure using the ‘Restore’
button (see below).
28.8 SAVING THE CURRENT CONFIGURATION
Any operative configuration of the processor (input gain, pilot level, RDS messages, enable status of RDS services, etc.)
may be saved at any time.
To do so, simply press the ‘Save’ button and indicate the name with which to save the configuration (for example, the
operator’s name). Note that the preset (processing curve) broadcasting is not included in this saving operation.
