General Information
Manufactured to meet the highest standards in broadcasting, SmartGen 6.0 encoder furnishes
all the mandatory for this high class equipment features, at competitive price.
Since all DEVA’s products are manufactured to be user friendly in terms of operation,
SmartGen 6.0 comes with simple and reliable programming software: “SmartGen RDS/RBDS
Encoders Manager” and a password protected WEB interface for remote connection.
The local (RS232, USB) and remote (TCP/IP, UDP/IP) interfaces permit fast and full integration
of the RDS/RBDS encoder to the station’s other functions, including message streams for digital
radio and Webcasting. The LCD (2x40) text display and Intuitive Navigation menu are used for
on-site navigation through the menus, quick access to the parameters and the functions and for
altering of their values. In addition, the display visualizes the incoming raw data from the station,
just as the radio of your listeners does.
The need of highly-accurate time source is satisfied not only by the supported SNTP but also
by the built-in GPS Module. The used GPS technology provides means for synchronizing the unit
with UTC and makes the sub-second timekeeping possible and easy to achieve.
Another impressive feature of SmartGen 6.0 is the SNMP agent software component, which
reports information via SNMP to one or more administrative computers (managers). SmartGen 6.0
complies with SNMPv2C. The function SNMP traps or E-mail notification on user-defined alerts
is also available.
SmartGen 6.0 is supplied with two separate outputs – one for RDS+MPX and one for RDS only.
The two General Purpose Inputs are with user-defined functionality, allowing easy integration of
SmartGen 6.0 to the station’s needs. The four General Purpose Outputs are also user-defined and
allow easy management of external devices, when needed.
Based on the latest RDS technology, SmartGen 6.0 guarantees fully digital synthesis of the
RDS signal, with excellent quality and spectral purity. This advanced device is a cost-effective
solution for sending of TMC, EWS Services and song tagging via the supported RT+ function. The
device can ‘parse’ scrolling text, automatically breaking the phrases into word groups.
Supporting all RDS Applications, in conformity with the European CENELEC and the United
States NRSC standards, SmartGen 6.0 is fully compatible with UECP EBU SPB490 Version 7.05.
In line with the latest technology, SmartGen 6.0 is proved and reliable hardware for 24/7/365
operation.

2. TA FLAG - This LED flashes whenever the TA flag is raised, either with a software command or with a switch closure. REMEMBER: the TA flag is
only temporary. It must be turned off as soon as the announcement ends.
3. GPS – When GPS is set as Time Sync Source and GPS fix is available, the light will be flashing.
4. USB – Indicates that USB connection has been established
5. LAN – Will be lit when an Ethernet connection is established. The same indicator will blink when there is an Ethernet activity.
6. PILOT LOCK - This LED lights when the encoder has locked to the 19 kHz stereo pilot signal from the stereo generator, either in the sidechain or
the loop-through mode of encoder operation.
7. FREE RUN - Will be lit when no 19kHz pilot is present at the PILOT OR MPX INPUT, and the synchronization source is set to “Auto”, the encoder
defaults to a crystal-controlled internal timebase. This enables RDS transmissions with monaural programming. When synchronization source is set
to “Internal”, the FREE RUN led blinks every second.
8. RDS DATA - This LED flashes dimly as RDS data is being transmitted, serving as an indication that the encoder is operating normally. When
synchronization source is set to “External”, and no 19kHz pilot is present at the PILOT OR MPX INPUT, the LED flashes with period of four blinks
per second to indicate the absence of RDS signal at the encoder’s output. If the RDS output is set to OFF. The LED will not be lit.
9. RDS Quality –When the device is operating normally the indicator will not be lit. When there is presence of BER in the RDS signal, or the lack of
such on the output, the LED indicator will flash.

Mounting
RACK REQUIREMENT
The SmartGen 6.0 mounts in a standard 19-inch equipment rack and requires only 1¾ inches
(1U) of vertical rack space. In order the painted finish around the mounting holes to be protected,
the use of plastic washers is recommended.
HEAT DISSIPATION
Having very low electricity consumption, the SmartGen 6.0 itself generates negligible heat.
The unit is intended for operation within an ambient temperature range, extending from freezing
to 120°F/50°C. But because adjacent, less efficient equipment may radiate substantial heat, be
sure that the equipment rack is adequately ventilated to keep its internal temperature below the
specified maximum ambient.

Connecting AC Power
FUSEHOLDER
The Fuse holder can be found right under the Mains connector.
Before connecting the AC Power, make sure that the mains supply at your location is in
accordance with SmartGen 6.0’s Power Supply Factory Settings - 100÷240 VAC, 1 Amp Fuse.
CAUTION: Permanent damage will result if improper AC supply voltage is applied to
SmartGen 6.0 device. Your warranty does not cover damages caused by applying improper supply
voltage, or use of an improper fuse.
POWER CORD
The detachable IEC-type power cord is supplied with the unit. The individual cord conductors
may be color-coded in either of two ways:
1) In accordance with US standards: 2) To European CEE standards:

BLACK = AC “HOT” BROWN = AC “HOT”
WHITE = AC NEUTRAL BLUE = AC NEUTRAL
GREEN = EARTH GROUND GREEN/YELLOW = EARTH GROUND
GROUND LOOPS
Because the unbalanced PILOT OR MPX INPUT and the RDS OR MPX OUTPUT of the
SmartGen 6.0 are chassis-ground-referenced, a mains frequency or RF ground loop could be formed
between the input or output cable shield grounds and the AC power cord ground. A ‘ground-lifting’
AC adapter may well remedy such a situation, although the chassis somehow must be returned
to earth ground for safety. Generally, being screwed-down in the equipment rack will satisfy the
safety requirement.

Selection of Operating Modes

SIDECHAIN MODE
In order to derive timing information from the 19kHz stereo pilot, the rear-panel PILOT OR
MPX INPUT connector monitors the output of the stereo generator. Alternatively, a TTL-level
19kHz sync square wave may be applied to this input. We do not recommend this; however, as the
phase relationship between the synchronizing square wave and the 19kHz pilot component in the
composite, multiplex output of the stereo generator may not be assured.
When sidechain operation mode is chosen the RDS OR MPX OUTPUT contains only the RDS
sub carrier, the composite MPX signal is not routed through SmartGen 6.0. This operating mode
preserves the multiplex signal integrity and assures uninterrupted program transmission, in case of
encoder failure event. Originally SmartGen 6.0 is configured for sidechain operation.
LOOP-THROUGH MODE
When the SmartGen 6.0 is configured for loop-through operation, the RDS subcarrier is
internally combined with the composite/MPX signal. This means that the RDS OR MPX OUTPUT
will include the composite/MPX program signal (at unity gain) with the RDS subcarrier added.
Also, in the loop-through mode the internal bypass relay will pass-through the multiplex signal in
the event of an encoder power failure.

Connecting The SmartGen 6.0

IMPORTANT CONNECTION CONSIDERATIONS!
Before installed in the signal path, the SmartGen 6.0 must be properly configured for the desired
operating mode: sidechain or loop-through. Use SmartGen Encoders Manager, Web Interface (see
“Advanced RDS” on page 61) or the LCD Menu (see “LCD Menu Explained” on page 51) to confirm
that the encoder is properly configured before connecting the unit to other air-chain equipment.
Also, it is important that the operating software be installed on the PC before the SmartGen 6.0
is connected to the encoder for programming the ‘static’ message registers and operating defaults.
In addition, we strongly recommend testing the encoder with its controlling interface (computer,
terminal, automation, etc.) before it is placed in the air chain. This will ensure that 2-way
communication with the encoder can be established and that the encoder is properly initialized.

SIDECHAIN MODE (RECOMMENDED)

1. Connect a BNC ‘T’ adapter to the composite/MPX output of the stereo generator;
2. Using a suitable cable, connect one side of the ‘T’ adapter directly to the wideband
(composite/ MPX) input of the FM exciter;
3. Using a suitable cable, connect the other side of the ‘T’ adapter to the PILOT OR MPX
INPUT of SmartGen 6.0;
4. Cable the RDS OR MPX OUTPUT of the encoder to the second wideband (subcarrier)
input of the FM exciter.

ACTIVATING THE TA FLAG

The Travel Announcement feature is a temporary command. This flag must coincide with the
actual voice warning of a traffic condition. The encoder includes a means to access this flag with a
manual switch closure, which will doubtlessly prove as much faster, convenient and reliable than
software control of the TA function.
A run of twisted-pair cable may be taken from one of the GPIs, part of DB15 on the rear
panel (see “Rear Panel” on page 15) of the encoder to a normally open momentary (spring-return!)
push-button switch located conveniently at the announcer’s operating position. In order for the
configuration to be successful, the GPI should be set to work as a TA flag switch.
The TA flag will be transmitted as long as the switch is held down. It is important that this alert is
active only for the duration of a traffic announcement. The TA flag must be turned off immediately
after completing the verbal traffic warning. Furthermore, the safety mechanism, known as “TA
Timeout”, may also be activated. This is possible happen when the time for which the TA flag is
exceeds the one set, and then TA flag RDS data will be disabled. Please note that the value set for
the TA will remain ON.

Data Interconnection
USB PORT
Used for local communication/connection and set-up via PC. When connected to your PC the
USB port will be identified as a COM port. In order for communication to be established, the speed
of the USB should be set to 115200 bps. This value is fixed and cannot be changed.
RS-232 COM PORTS

The two rear-panel RS-232 COM MALE/FEMALE PORTS might be connected directly to
station automation equipment for dynamic messaging, song titles, weather info, etc.
LAN PORT
Rear-panel LAN port, preferred for remote monitoring. Also applicable for servicing and station
automation.
NOTE: For RS-232, USB or LAN interfaces with a PC for local/remote programming of the
‘static’ data registers, software must be installed on the computer before it is connected to the
encoder.
ASCII Communication syntax is explained in section “ASCII Programming Syntax” on page

80“.
COMPUTER OR TERMINAL REQUIREMENTS

For fast and easy encoder programming via the serial COM, USB or LAN port, Windows®-
based RDS Data-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, or with a simple “dumb”
terminal that has an RS-232 interface. The encoder can accommodate several baud rates, but the
factory default is 9600 bps. Set the terminal (or terminal program) for: 9600 bps / 8 Data Bits / No
Parity / 1 Stop Bit / No Flow Control (9600, 8, N, 1, None).
Static PS and other IDs, flags, the Alternative Frequency list and operating mode options are
uploaded into non-volatile encoder memory from a PC, either with USB, RS-232 serial or TCP/
IP connections. 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 6.0.
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 80“.

MODEM LINK
As an addition to the LAN connection, a modem link may also be used for addressing the encoder
from a remote location via RS-232 serial connection. When properly configured, a modem link
will appear ‘transparent,’ as if the encoder was connected directly to the controlling system. The
figure below indicates the proper pin connections for the cable used to connect the SmartGen 6.0
to a conventional external modem. The three conductors shown are the only ones required.

Subcarrier Injection Level

When sidechain operation mode is chosen, the RDS subcarrier is the only signal that appears
at the rear-panel ‘RDS & MPX OUTPUT’ or ‘RDS OUT’ connector. As some exciters require a
higher signal level at auxiliary wideband (SCA) inputs, the RDS signal has been made adjustable
to any value between zero and 4 volts, peak-to-peak.
If loop-through operation mode is chosen, the composite/MPX program signal that is fed to
the PILOT OR MPX INPUT appears with unity gain at the RDS OR MPX OUTPUT. The typical
peak-to-peak level of the Composite/MPX program signal is up to 20dBu. The same 0-4V RDS
subcarrier level range is available/evident in this mode.
SETTING SUBCARRIER AMPLITUDE

Injection level is best set with a modulation monitor that includes a subcarrier measurement
utility. Alternatively, a basic mod-monitor can be used alone, but program modulation and the
stereo pilot must be turned off to resolve the low RDS injection level.
NOTE: If using a mod-monitor that does not have separate subcarrier measurement ability,
keep in mind that mod-monitors are peak-responding for total modulation readings near 100%
modulation, but may be average-responding for measurements at low levels of modulation.
Because the RDS subcarrier is a complex, suppressed-carrier double-sideband signal, an average
reading of 3% RDS injection can represent a level that is substantially higher when measured
peak-to-peak. It is the peak level we are interested in with broadcasting.
Perhaps a better means of setting injection when a subcarrier monitor is not available is simply
to bridge the input of the exciter with an oscilloscope using a BNC “T” adapter. With the audio
program muted, the peak-to-peak value of the 19kHz stereo pilot signal can be noted. With this
figure in mind, turn off pilot modulation (but do not disconnect the stereo generator) and set
the peak-to-peak value of the RDS subcarrier to about one-third of the measured 19kHz pilot
level. When programming is restored, the mod-monitor should indicate a 3% increase in total
modulation, though this may be difficult to resolve near the 100% mark. Readjust the output level
of the stereo generator to fine-tune the original total-mod figure.
In the United States, the FCC permits an extra 5% modulation for each subcarrier, with total
modulation not to exceed 110% even with two or more subcarriers.

Tel: +359 56 820027, Fax: +359 56 836700
SUBCARRIER PHASE
In the interest of maintaining optimum carrier modulation by the program signal, the 57kHz
RDS subcarrier should be in quadrature with the 19kHz stereo pilot. Both in-phase and quadrature
relationships are shown here in figures below, respectively. Note that a quadrature relationship
yields a slightly lower peak level, which allows the greatest carrier modulation by the program
audio signal.

Subcarrier in-Phase Subcarrier in Quadrature
The SmartGen 6.0 in accordance with the UECP ver.7.05, allows adjustment of the phase shift
between the PILOT tone and RDS in the range of 0 - 359.9° with 0.1° increments. Although some
stereo generators supply a pilot-sync reference for RDS (usually a TTL-level square wave), this
reference may or may not be in exact phase with the actual stereo pilot component of the composite/
MPX signal. For this reason we recommend using the composite/MPX signal for synchronization.
In the sidechain mode, the SmartGen 6.0 simply bridges the output of the stereo generator and
does not load or otherwise compromise the composite/MPX signal.

KEYBOARD LOCK
To prevent unauthorized local access, the SmartGen 6.0 offers password protected keyboard
locking. By default the keyboard is unprotected. To enable this function, using the front panel
navigational menu, go to 5.2. and change ENABLED to YES. From 5.1. set the preferred
4 digit password. Once the keyboard password is enabled, the following symbol will indicate it .

Once the keyboard lock function is enabled, every attempt to use it will require a password:
ENTER PASSWORD: 0***. Access will be denied upon false entry.
NOTE: Keyboard lock will not prevent from navigating through the Main Screen. Only the
‘Editing option’ will be locked.
RESTORE FACTORY DEFAULTS

SmartGen 6.0 can ‘Restore Factory Defaults’ from its non-volatile memory, when an emergency
recovery is necessary. Hopefully this function will never be used. If needed, though, below is an
explanation on the procedure:
• Disconnect/Remove all external appointments except the Mains Power.

• Using the front panel navigational menu, go to 9.16. and press the OK Button. The
following Screen should be displayed:
WARNING! All settings will be LOST!

To proceed press ->, Other to cancel
• Press the RIGHT Button in order to confirm the ‘Restore Factory Defaults’ command. See
“Factory Defaults” on page 86 for detailed listing of the Factory Settings.
WARNING: Perform Emergency Recover with caution, as the remote users would not be
aware that the unit was restored to its factory defaults, hence they may cease communication with
the device.

Programming Options
ADVANCED PROGRAMMING FOR STATION AUTOMATION
Developed as a fully ‘interactive’ RDS encoder, the SmartGen 6.0 can interconnect directly
with station automation to transmit dynamic messaging to the receiver. Examples of this are song
title and artist information, weather reports or air personality ID. Station automation communicates
with the SmartGen 6.0 through an RS-232, USB or LAN interface.
The data stream from a station automation system must be formatted properly for communication
with the SmartGen 6.0 encoder. Commands require proper preambles, or headers, so that the
SmartGen 6.0 interprets dynamic data as valid command sets.
SIMPLIFIED WINDOWS® DATA-ENTRY SOFTWARE

To help get RDS on-air quickly, a very simple and intuitive Windows® interface has been
included on the CD-ROM that comes with the SmartGen 6.0 encoder. This can be used by anyone
to set the static IDs and flags, to program default entries into the dynamic messaging fields, and
to set other operating parameters that affect how data from station automation is displayed on the
radio faceplate.
SNMP
The built-in SNMP agent offers another way to get access to the most important device settings
and measured values, and on the other hand makes possible that the device send alarm messages
in the form of SNMP Traps. All of the variables and traps are described in standardized manner
in the SmartGen6.mib file, which is used by the SNMP manager. The corresponding MIB file is
available at download section.
A more convenient way to view and test the SNMP functionality of the device is to use some
SNMP manager software.
SNMP might be used to do (view) device settings. SNMP does not provide an opportunity to
get any logged data in log files. FTP protocol should be used for this purpose.

WEB Configuration
SmartGen 6.0 can be accessed through Internet using any kind of WEB browser. No additional
software for this purpose is required.
To access the device’s Web Interface it is necessary to know the IP address of the device and the
assigned password (see “Navigation Through LCD Menu” on page 31).
Open a new WEB Browser and enter the device’s IP address in the address field then press
“Enter”. Depending on the used browser, a port might be required. It is appended right after IP
address. The default value being: 80.
ATTENTION: Depending on Internet Protocol Settings, the assigned IP address may not be
visible outside your local network, thus the device may be accessed only within that network.
Consult with your network administrator for the appropriate IP settings.
Username and Password will be requested when connecting for the first time. Default values
being: user and pass.
NOTE: The current settings are referred to Main PSN in the Current DSN.
The Web Interface is visually divided into two sections:

• Top – Monitoring section – visualizes the currently broadcasted information. This section
is a constant part of the interface window, thus allowing reading at a glance of all necessary
readings. Please note that the information is not editable.
• Bottom – This part of the interface window contains all editable readings and device
functional buttons. It is divided into several sub-sections (tabs). On the bottom of each
section are available two buttons – ‘Revert changes’ and ‘Save changes’.
•
Please note that in order for all the changes to be saved the ‘Save changes’ button should be
pressed. Otherwise, the old values will be applicable.

BASIC RDS
In this tab you will find all the essential RDS parameters needed for the Basic RDS applications.
PI Code Calculator
The PI code is your station’s ‘digital address’. This is a hexadecimal code that is assigned by
an appropriate broadcasting authority in most countries, but in the United States the PI code is
numerically calculated from the station’s call sign. We have provided a calculator utility within
the Web Interface. An in-depth discussion of the mathematical calculation is given in RDS/RBDS
Standard.
To use the PI calculator for US ‘K’ and ‘W’ call signs, simply enter call letters into the CALL
box. The hexadecimal code will automatically be calculated into PI box. If the hexadecimal code
for a US station is known, you may enter it under PI, and then the callsign will be calculated
automatically into CALL box.
When PI calculator fails to calculate PI or CALL the corresponding box will be filled with ‘----’.
Program Type (PTY)
PTY Selection identifies the station’s programming format from a list. There are two lists, one
for the European RDS system and one for the American RBDS specification, hence, open the
appropriate drop-down list and select suitable PTY.

TA Timeout
An optional safety feature is built into the SmartGen 6.0 to guard against an extended software-
activated TA flag. For example, presuming that the TA flag has been activated via software
command and the data link is suddenly lost. A command that deactivates TA flag would not be
received, and the TA flag would remain raised indefinitely. As this is not acceptable, an automatic
timeout option has been included for software-activated TA flags.
In order for this function to be used – the interactive TA button should be enabled. The
timeout can be set from 1 to 255 minutes. This will automatically deactivate the TA flag after the
programmed time has elapsed.
NOTE: The Timeout should not be used to define the actual period that the TA flag is raised.
The TA flag must be reset to zero immediately following a traffic announcement. Again, it’s best to
use the manual switch option for this command as described in “Activating the TA Flag” on page 26.
Dynamic PS
DPS is proprietary setting, which not conform with RDS/RBDS Standard. Because of driving
safety considerations, broadcasters have, from the start, been discouraged from making the PS
“dynamic”; that is, to send long messages in a succession of 8-character frames. As a matter of
note, it remains a violation of both the CENELEC and the NRSC standards to flash or scroll the PS
display. Nevertheless, this nefarious practice of “Scrolling-PS” has become very common, both in
the US and abroad.
The Dynamic PS can hold up to 64 characters of text, which can be made to scroll across the
RDS radio faceplate. Left undisturbed, the encoder will scroll the same message endlessly.
Parsing is the encoder’s “smart” mode of message transmission. Parsing breaks messages down
into meaningful character groups for efficient display on the 8-character alphanumeric readout
common to all RDS receivers.
When Parse is set to 0 (words centered) or 9 (words left justified) parsing sends short words
together. Longer words, up to and including 8 characters, are sent individually. Words that exceed
8 characters are “sidestepped” through two or more consecutive displays.
When Parse is set between 1 and 8 the message is scrolled 1 to 8 characters at a time without
divisions into word groups.

Remove trailing spaces before transmitting
Trims the radio text trailing spaces with carriage return symbol ($0D), when the radio text is
shorter than 64 symbols.
Default PS / Default Dynamic PS
Replaces the broadcasted PS string with the specified Default PS, when the option is enabled,
and the timeout expired. This option is very convenient when the PS is set by an automation
software as it prevents transmission of outdated PS string, in case of connection loss between the
SmartGen and the automation software.
Default PS Timeout / Default Dynamic PS Timeout
Enables and sets the Default PS/DPS timeout in minutes. When the timeout is set to 0
(Timeout=0) the function is disabled.

ADVANCED RDS
Here you will find information on all advanced RDS settings.
As it is explained in “Selection of Operating Modes” on page 22, two types of operating modes
are available. Once the SmartGen 6.0 is set, the preferred mode should be specified in the “Output”
section of the encoder.
The “Real Time Clock” function provides several types of Sync sources that you can choose
from. The need of highly-accurate time source is satisfied not only by the supported SNTP (Simple
Network Time Protocol), but also by the built-in GPS Module. The used GPS technology provides
a means for synchronizing the unit with UTC. Once the preferred ‘Sync Source” is selected, the
Time Zone Offset should be set manually (Local time excluded, as the values will be automatically
assigned from the browser’s time).
All needed settings for the Group Sequence, TA and EON TA Control are also applied through
this tab of the WEB interface.
Site Address & Encoder Address - The encoder has two address lists, one of acceptable site
addresses and the other of acceptable encoder addresses. The site address list includes “0” (the
global site address), the unique site address and any additional site group addresses. The encoder
address list includes “0” (the global encoder address), the unique encoder address and any additional
encoder group addresses. For detailed explanation about Encoder Addressing refer to the UECP
Specification.
Main Group Sequence has a direct impact over the transmission of RDS groups, their succession
and repetition rate. Unless some special case it is good practice to include into Group Sequence
at least 0A, 2A and 10A groups, because they carry the basic RDS information - PS, TA, MS, DI,
AF, RT and PTYN.
NOTE: Group Sequence cannot be empty. Group 4A, 14B and 15B are not allowed in Group
Sequence, they are generated automatically. Groups 2A and 2B could not coexist.

MONITOR
This tab visualizes the currently broadcasted information, thus allowing reading at a glance
of all necessary readings. Please note that the information is not editable. This section of the
WEB interface is divided into several subsections – Common RDS, RT+, TMC and GPS. Each
explained in details below.
Common RDS
Brief information on all the RDS readings is found here. The currently broadcasted Radio
Text is also evident. A great addition to SmartGen 6.0’s functionalities is the ‘Radio Text’ section,
where the last 20 broadcasted RT are are listed.
Group detector - all received groups are systematized into a table, representing the percentage/
quantity of the groups in the received RDS/RBDS signal. The user selects how the ‘Total groups
received’ data should be represented: as Percents (%) or as Count, by selecting the corresponding
button.
‘AF’ - List of the alternative frequencies is found on the right part of the screen.
RT+ and TMC
If your Radio station has RT+ or TMC – SmartGen 6.0 will display the information from those
ODA Groups.

GPS
GPS should be chosen as ‘Sync Source’ in order for the GPS to be available. The ‘Sync Source’
is set in the “Advanced RDS” tab (see “Advanced RDS” on page 61).
Status
This section contains information about the GPS attributes – Fix, Latitude, Longitude, Altitude,
Date, Time. ‘View on Google Maps’ option is also available.
Satellites in View
This section contains information about satellites in view. The LED indicators show the
reception quality for every satellite. The number beneath every LED is Satellite ID.
Sky View is an alternative representation of “Satellites in View”. Every satellite is represented

as a 2D point in space, according to Elevation, Azimuth and signal quality of the satellite. Sky
View gives a general idea of how satellites are scattered through the visible sky. The bigger the
distance better the Dilution of Precision. Satellites with insufficient signal quality are colored in
red. The satellites that are not being used are also evident and are colored in grey.
NOTE: A click on the ‘Sky View’ will hide/show the inner grid and the azimuth and elevation
labeling.

Terminal Configuration
Configuration of the terminal, computer or automation system obviously will depend on
parameters placed by hardware and firmware. For simplicity, the encoder ASCII programming
illustrations in this section will utilize HyperTerminal, the terminal emulation program by
Hilgraeve, Inc., developed for Microsoft and supplied with the Windows® XP operating system.
The program can be purchased as an addition to the newest Windows® versions. It is supposed
that programming instructions based on terminal emulation will help the programmer understand
what ASCII syntax the encoder requires, serving as an example for direct-connection with station
automation.
If using HyperTerminal, it’s best first to upgrade to the latest version. Download this from
http://www.hilgraeve.com/hyperterminal/ .The more current product seems to run more smoothly
and has text editing features not found in earlier versions.
NOTE: Do not connect the SmartGen 6.0 Encoder until the HyperTerminal program has been
configured properly.
HyperTerminal is started under Windows® XP with the command routine: Start/Programs/

Accessories/Communications/HyperTerminal. Double-click: HyperTrm.exe. This brings up the
main HyperTerminal screen with a Connection Description window for naming your encoder
communications program. How this connection is configured depends on the serial (COM) port
will be addressed.
- 75 -
Tel: +359 56 820027, Fax: +359 56 836700
SERIAL COM PORT CONFIGURATION

Give the encoder connection a name; we have chosen ‘RDS’ for this illustration. Click Connect
using and select COM1, unless there is a reason to use another serial COM port. Click OK.
- 76 -
Tel: +359 56 820027, Fax: +359 56 836700
The next window that appears shows COM1 Properties. Here you set the communications
parameters as follows: Bits per second: 9600, Data bits: 8, Parity: None, Stop bits: 1, Flow control:
None. Check your settings against the screen shot. Click OK to close all boxes and to clear the
HyperTerminal data entry screen.
If you experience trouble communicating with the SmartGen 6.0, there’s a quick and easy check
to verify that the computer and the terminal program are functioning normally. With pins 2 and 3 of
the DB-9 connector shorted with a screwdriver, whatever is typed on the keyboard should appear
on the screen.
When COM port setup is complete the computer may be connected to the encoder COM port.
Next, skip to Power-Up, below.
- 77 -
Tel: +359 56 820027, Fax: +359 56 836700
POWER-UP
Once the encoder is connected (by the serial COM) and powered-up, communications should
be automatic. A notation at the bottom of the HyperTerminal screen verifies connection.
Type: RDS?8 . This will cause the encoder to send back the contents of all ID, flag and
message registers, which (shown here) are the data entered previously (see “Basic RDS” on page 56)
RDS? can be used at any time to make the encoder ‘spill its guts’. This exercise does not
interrupt or interfere with encoder operation.
All valid interrogations are followed by: OK; a NO shows that the interrogation was not valid.
Any single parameter in a register can be interrogated independently. Simply type the register
designation followed by a single question mark. A response shown at the right for the typed
command: PI?
In conformity with the defined in the UECP Protocol Encoder Access rights, for each of the
UECP pots where this function has been forbidden, the encoder could respond with ACCESS
DENIED.
- 78 -
Tel: +359 56 820027, Fax: +359 56 836700
ECHO
It’s best for your computer screen to display what has been “echoed” by the encoder as data is
entered. Each character typed on the keyboard is sent to the encoder, which turns it back around
to be shown on the monitor screen. This round trip gives continuous confirmation of 2-way
communications. Typing ECHO=1 will provide this round-trip communications verification.
The return data path is not essential, however. The SmartGen 6.0 will accept programming
commands on a receive-only basis. For example, a studio-transmitter radio link (STL) may include
1-way data transmission that could be used to address the encoder.
If double characters appear when typing, your terminal has been configured for local echo.
Rather than defeating the echo function of the encoder, local echo should be turned off. This is
usually a software command in the terminal or terminal program. Local echo must be used with a
1-way link, however, so that the terminal screen will show what is typed.
The SmartGen 6.0 has been set to ‘Echo’ as the factory default. The command to turn echo off
is ECHO=0 . To turn echo back on again, type ECHO=1

ASCII Programming Syntax

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=HELLO . Specifically, the field: DPS, the equal
sign and the word HELLO would be typed, followed immediately by pressing the Enter key. We
will use  as the symbol for Enter.
Take time to type deliberately and slowly. Even at 9600 bps, some delays are inherent in the
communications between the computer and the encoder. One characteristic of typing too quickly
will be the omission of line feeds in responses returned from the encoder.
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.
VALIDITY SYMBOLS
The SmartGen 6.0 ignores ASCII inputs that do not conform to proper formatting rules. This
is an important feature when the encoder is connected full-time to station automation. When a
valid command is accepted by the encoder, it returns OK to the computer screen. If a data input
is properly formatted, but is ambiguous or otherwise not accurate, the screen will display NO.
Examples of valid and invalid commands are shown below. Follow programming instructions
exactly to ensure that commands will be accepted.

Encoder Housekeeping Commands

REGISTER INTERROGATION
Typing: RDS? returns the status of all flag and ID settings and the contents of static message
buffers to the screen. This was illustrated in section “Power-Up” on page 78.
ENCODER INITIALIZATION
The “initialize” command is invoked by typing: INIT . This is used to reestablish encoder
operation in the unlikely event of an internal software ‘crash,’ or for any other reason to restore the
factory defaults (see “Factory Defaults” on page 86). INIT is an emergency recovery command
only. It is not necessary to execute INIT prior to updating any encoder programming.
ENCODER RESET
Typing: RESET initiates a ‘hardware reset’ equivalent to turning the encoder off and back on
again. This reset command does not clear the registers of programming commands that have been
saved as described above.
FIRMWARE VERSION
Type: REV? for a display of the encoder’s firmware version. This might prove important
in determining whether differences exist between SmartGen 6.0 encoders purchased at different
times.
NETWORK SETTINGS
Type: NET? for a display of the encoder’s Network Settings, which include IP Address,
Subnet Mask, Gateway, DNS Server and DCHP Client. This is useful when information about
Network Settings is needed at a glance; instead of interrogate each one Network Parameter.

APPENDIX A
RDS: EUROPE VS AMERICA
The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and its member countries originated the concept of
“Radio Data” transmission. The European RDS specification, CENELEC Standard EN50067, was
first published in 1984. It was revised in 1986, 1990, 1991 and 1992.
European RDS has grown in use following initial adoption of the Standard. RDS is nearly
universal throughout Europe; it is almost impossible to find a European FM broadcasting station
that does not carry a radio data subcarrier.
The popularity of RDS in Europe is very much in contrast with initial reluctance on the part
of US broadcasters to embrace this technology. This can be ascribed to material differences in
broadcasting practices.
Almost without exception, FM broadcasting in the United States is ‘detached’ and independent
- each station originates its own programming. America’s National Public Radio might be
considered as an exception, though for most of the broadcast day even NPR stations originate, or
at least schedule, their own programs.
Most of European broadcasting is similar to the concept of network radio that was common in
the US prior to the 1950s. In Europe, a central program originator may have many transmitting
facilities of modest power situated throughout the country, at several different frequencies to
blanket a designated service area. The European disposition, toward lower-power transmitters can
be found on the “local radio” level, as well.
The European concept of a service area equates to the US broadcaster’s market. The subtle
difference between these designations further characterizes broadcasting practices and ethics.
RDS benefits the European broadcaster through almost an altruistic endeavor to be of service to
his listeners. The US broadcaster is marketing his programming and is primarily interested in how
he can create additional revenue from RDS.
THE RDS SYSTEM

RDS is a digital data channel, transmitted as a low-level subcarrier above the range of the
composite stereo program signal in the FM baseband. The data transmission (baud) rate is
comparatively low, yet it is quite robust because of data redundancy and effective error correction.
It is not within the scope of this Manual to cover the details of RDS subcarrier coding and
modulation. For this, the reader is directed to the Specification appropriate to his location either
the CENELEC EN50067 Specification for Europe or the United States NRSC Specification. Since
the Manual will deal with specific implication of RDS implemented with the SmartGen 6.0, it is
assumed that the user is familiar with the RDS concept.

APPENDIX A.1
ADDRESSING THE SmartGen 6.0
Applications, such as navigational assistance, roadside message billboards, song titles, stock
market updates, etc. all require continuous on-line access to the RDS encoder by one or more
service providers. Some of these applications may promise additional revenue to the station. The
SmartGen 6.0 offers these capabilities and may be addressed by simple ASCII commands, either
from station automation or directly from a connected computer.
In Europe, the RDS encoders could be linked to one another for network support applications.
The Universal Encoder Communication Protocol (UECP) was developed by CENELEC to support
such kind of operation, but over the years has seen decreased usage in favor of TCP/IP addressability
or direct connection with station automation. The SmartGen 6.0 fully supports the UECP.

APPENDIX B.1
RDS APPLICATIONS SUPPORTED
Following is an alphabetical list of the RDS applications supported by SmartGen 6.0. The
standardized RDS application abbreviation is followed by an expansion of the application name
and a short explanation of the function.
AF
List of Alternative Frequencies: In order holes in the coverage area to be filled, list of all
frequencies where identical program could be heard simultaneously can be included by the network
broadcaster or one with low-power rebroadcast transmitters (translators). The RDS receiver
(particularlythe upscale car radio) constantly searches for the best signal that carries the same
program. The radio will re-tune without noticeable interruption, when a better signal is found.
The principal utility of this RDS function is with European radio networks and US stations with
‘translators.’
CT
Clock Time and date: Time and date codes should use Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and
Modified Julian Day (MJD). If MJD = 0, the receiver should not be updated. The listener, however,
will not use this information directly and the conversion to local time and date will be made in
the receiver’s circuitry. CT is used as time stamp by various RDS applications and thus it must be
accurate.
DI
Decoder Information: This is one of several ‘flags’ that convey yes/no or other very basic data.
This flag helps the receiver to indicate whether the broadcast is monaural or is transmitted in any
of several methods of stereo or binaural broadcasting. As many as 16 encoding options may be
accommodated! This is a rather esoteric function and, thus far, remains unused both in Europe and
in the US.
ECC
Extended Country Code: RDS uses its own country codes. The first most significant bits of the
PI code carry the RDS country code. The four bit coding structure only permits the definition of 15
different codes, 1 to F (hex). Since there are much more countries to be identified, some countries
have to share the same code which does not permit unique identification. Hence there is the need
to use the Extended Country Code which is transmitted in Variant 0 of Block 3 in type 1A groups
and together with the country identification in bits b15 to b12 of the PI code render a unique
combination. The ECC consists of eight bits.

Tel: +359 56 820027, Fax: +359 56 836700
EON
Enhanced Other Networks information: This feature can be used to update the information
stored in a receiver about program services other than the one received. The alternative frequencies-
PS name, Traffic Program and Traffic Announcement identification as well as Program Type and
Program Item Number information can be transmitted for each other service. The relation to the
corresponding program is established by means of the relevant Program Identification. Linkage
information, consisting of four data elements, provides the means by which several program
services may be treated by the receiver as a single service during times a common program is
carried. Linkage information also provides a mechanism to signal an extended set of related
services.
EWS
Emergency Warning System: The EWS is intended to provide coding for warning messages.
These messages will be broadcasted only in case of emergency and will be evaluated by special
receivers.
IH
In House application: This refers to data to be decoded only by the operator. Some examples
noted are identification of transmission origin, remote switching of networks and paging of staff.
The applications of coding may be decided by each operator itself.
M/S
Music / Speech Switch: This flag simply indicates whether music or speech is the primary
broadcast programming. The purpose of this function is not well explained in the respective
Standards; hence it comes as no surprise that it is not widely used.
ODA
Open Data Applications: The Open Data Applications feature allows data applications, not
previously specified in EN 50067, to be conveyed in a number of allocated groups in an RDS
transmission. The allocated groups are indicated by using type 3A group which is used to identify
to a receiver the data application in use in accordance with the registration details in the EBU/RDS
Forum - Open Data Applications Directory and the NRSC Open Data Applications Directory.
PI
Program Identification: This block of data identifies the broadcast station with a hexadecimal
numerical code, which becomes the “digital signature” of the station. The code is assigned by the
broadcasting authorities in most countries, but in the US it is calculated from a numerical encoding
of station call letters. The receiver processes the PI code to assist automatic tuning features (station
memories), and to prevent false switching to alternative frequencies that might be shared by
broadcasters in nearby regions.
PIN
Program Item Number: The code enables the designed to use this feature receivers and recorders
to respond to the preselected by the user program item(s).This feature is used via scheduled program
time, to which in order to avoid ambiguity is added the day of the month.
- 92 -
Tel: +359 56 820027, Fax: +359 56 836700
PS
Program Service Name: This is the station’s “street name” that will appear on the receiver
faceplate display. The PS can be up to eight characters in length (including spaces) and can be as
simple as the station’s call letters: KWOW or KWOW FM, or a slogan: NEWSTALK or LIVE 95.
The Program Service Name is automatically displayed, even on the automobile receivers. Because
of driving safety considerations broadcasters are generally discouraged from scrolling messages
in this field.As a matter of fact, it is a violation of both the CENELEC and the NRSC standards to
scroll the PS display, although the practice has become universally common.
PTY
Program Type: The PTY data flag identifies the station format from a collection of pre-defined
categories. Many RDS receivers are able to seek the listener’s preferred format automatically.
This means that a car radio can switch from a fading station to a stronger one that carries the
same variety of music, though not the very same program, as provided by AF switching. The
PTY function of RDS helps a broadcaster catch ‘transient audience’ share. A listing of the PTY
categories is given in “APPENDIX C.1” on page 95 and “APPENDIX C.2” on page 96.
Under some programming circumstances, the PTY identifier may be made ‘dynamic,’ changing
between categories for a station that “dayparts” (changes its format for specific time periods).
The PTY code is not meant to change from song to song or to accommodate a top-of-the-hour
newscast, however.
PTYN
Program TYpe Name: The PTYN feature allows the predefined by the RDS/RBDS Standard
PTY to be further described using user-defined text (e.g. PTY=4: Sport and PTY=8: Football). The
PTYN is not intended to change the default eight characters of PTY which will be used during
search or wait modes. Its purpose is to show in details the program type once tuned to a program.
If the broadcaster is satisfied with the default PTY name, it is not necessary to use additional
data capacity for PTYN. The Program Type Name is not intended to be used for automatic PTY
selection and must not be used for giving sequential information.
RT
RadioText: This is a 64-character block of plain text that the listener can select for visual display
on the faceplate of the radio by pressing an INFO button on the receiver. This function is not
available on many automobile radios for safety reasons, which has precipitated the frowned-upon
practice of scrolling the PS field instead.
Most radios have limited alphanumeric display capability, so the 64 characters of RadioText
march across the front panel, much akin those annoying LED advertising signs found in airport
buses or fast food emporia. Like the scrolling-PS implementation, RadioText can announce song
titles and performers, run special promotions or contests, or broadcast sponsors’ messages.

RT+
RadioText Plus is “semantic analogue radio”. It allows the RDS feature RadioText (RT) to be
read by the FM RDS receiving terminals. Based on the RDS RT messages, RT+ is completely
backwards compatible with RT. The usage of RT+ allows the listener/user to derive additional
benefits from the RDS Radio Text service. It enables FM RDS receivers to “read” Radio Text
(to recognize designated objects and make them manageable) by user’s direct access to specific
elements of the Radio Text messages. For example, that element could be programme associated
metadata like Title and Artist of the currently playing song or a news headlines. This provides the
listener with an “mp3-player feeling” while listening to analogue FM radio. The elements can also
carry additional service messages or information about the Radio Station such as the telephone
number or the web address of the Radio Station’s hotline. These objects, or more accurately RT+
information elements carried in the RDS RadioText (RT) messages, are identified by their location
within the RT messages and by the class code of their content type. Once an information element
is received and understood, a receiver is able to, for example, store the different RT+ information
elements and the listener may then select and request a specific content type from the radio’s
memory at an instant in time that suits the listener’s needs. Thus the listener is no longer forced
to watch the RT information passing (scrolling) by. Moreover, RT+ offers selected RT message
elements to car drivers on a static display, without risk of distracting the attention of the driver.
Furthermore, RT+ is well suited for mobile phones with built-in FM receivers: telephone numbers
can be directly used to initiate calls, and web addresses can be used to start browsing the web
content offered by the radio programme provider. Last but not least, RT+ is also used for satellite
radio broadcasting via DVB-S. It may be adopted by DRM and DAB in the future, too.
TA
Traffic Announcement: This is a temporary flag added to the RDS data stream only as a traffic
bulletin is being aired. Some RDS car radios can be set to search for traffic bulletins among various
TP stations (see TP below) while tuned to a listener’s preferred program, or even while playing
a tape or CD. As soon as any TP station broadcasts a traffic bulletin, the receiver temporarily
switches-over to receive it. When the bulletin is finished, the receiver switches back to the original
program, tape or CD.
TDC
Transparent Data Channels: The transparent data channels consist of 32 channels, which may
be used to send any type of data.
TMC
Traffic Message Channel: This feature is intended to be used for the coded transmission of
traffic information.
TP
Traffic Program Identification: The TP flag identifies the station as one that routinely broadcasts
traffic bulletins for motorists as part of its normal, everyday programming. When the TP flag is
displayed on the receiver faceplate, the radio is searching for traffic announcements. The radio
keeps track of TP stations offering this service to speed up the search-and-switch process.

APPENDIX D
HTML FORMATTED E-MAIL FEATURE
Our practice shows that it is much more convenient for the user to have the ability to edit the
content of the e-mail notifications. Thus, SmartGen 6.0 can generate a context-oriented E-mail
notification with user-defined content. This function is irreplaceable when SmartGen 6.0 should be
integrated into the kind of monitoring system that can receive E-mail messages/alerts, in a certain
format, or when the user prefers to create his own template using the HTML formatting.
In order for this functionality/feature to be used, the same should be enabled via any of the
available device interfaces. Once an alarm event is generated and E-mail and HTML Template are
authorized, SmartGen 6.0 will search in the folder named “\smtp_templ” for a file with extension
”.html”. The name of the file should refer to the type of event that has occurred. Below you will
find a detailed list of the default HTML files.

NOTE: The SmartGen 6.0 will not be able to discover a valid file template and will use the
built-in template containing plain text only, in the cases when:
• A file is deleted or renamed;
• The device’s storage is deleted or formatted (as this procedure will delete all template files).
If you would like to continue using the HTML formatted E-mails, the “\smtp_templ” directory,
along with the files (or only those that are needed) should be restored. This can be made via the
FTP client application (properly applied FTP settings will be required). The templates can be
downloaded from DEVA’s website. The content of the „dsn_change.html” file is listed below:
<html><body>
<div>SmartGen 6.0 encoder from
<span style=’color:red;’></span> has changed to
DSN <span style=’color:red;’></span> (PSN Main
<span style=’color:red;’></span>) on 
.
</div></body></html>
It defines the structure and the variable which are encircled with “”, thus
indicating that these values will be replaced in
the body of the message. For example:
SmartGen 6.0 encoder from Burgas (Bulgaria) has changed to DSN 3 (PSN Main 1) on 26
Jun 2014, 11:47:24 by GPI.
The used color indicators this message are displayed as a result of the HTML formatting. All
valid HTML Text Formatting Tags can be applied.
The table below contains the currently available dynamic variables that can be included in the
body of the HTML-formatted message. The exact spelling of the dynamic variables should be used
(case sensitive matter here). It is also very important the encircling “” to be
used. If a spelling error is made, the SmartGen 6.0 will not recognize the variable and will replace
it with “*** UNKNOWN TAG xxx ***”, where the ‘xxx’ is used instead of the unknown tag
(variable).

APPENDIX E
ALARMS
The alarms are fast and reliable reporting mechanism in case of change in pre-defined parameters. Below you will find an explanation of the types of event
that might trigger an alarm, the settings that should be applied and their properties.

NOTE: The change of DSN and PSN can be a dynamic process, which makes the “Idle” status definition of alarms PSN change and DSN change
impossible. Therefore, in case PSN and/or DSN alarm occurs and is finalized through one of the authorized channels (E-mail, SNMP), the alarm status will
remain OK, and the GPO will not be triggered through these alarms.
Due to the diverse nature of the observed physical alarm events, the alarms cannot be completely unified.
