18.6.3 PS SEQUENCES
Falcon 15 allows You to easily create and broadcast sequences composed by up to 8 PS Names. You can also
set the ‘display speed’ (related to the time it will last on the receiver display).
Having filled the fields PS 1, PS 2 , etc, to create a PS sequence You have just to select the last item of it, as the
first item is set by default (PS 1).
Different ‘display rate’ can be set for al the messages. Available options are listed in the SPEED pop-up menu
(slowest, slow, normal, fast and fastest).
NOTE: the time needed for a receiver to properly receive and display a message is dependent upon the
following:
- numbers of characters in the message
- repetition rate of data group / overall number of groups carried out by RDS signal
- reception conditions at the receiver
- software implementation of PS feature
Further to these conditions, it is not possible to set a precise time duration for each PSN
(i.e. number of
seconds). Any way, ‘normal’ rate factor corresponds to an average display time of around 3 seconds. Please
remind that fast and fastest rate factors are advisable only whenever a large number of groups is carried out by
RDS signal.
Example
F.i., accordingly to the settings as in the picture here closed the PS sequence broadcast at all time will be: BBC
ONE / LONDON / UK / BBC ONE / LONDON / etc.
