Example: Transparent Mode
The transparent mode allows you to transmit user-defined binary data instead of the
standard RDS data. The transparent mode uses blocks A to D of the RDS groups.
Standard RDS data is suppressed and not transmitted.
You can define up to 20 different data sequences.
The binary data is sent even if it constitutes no valid or meaningful RDS data. Always
delete the transparent data first, before you resume the transmission of standard RDS
data.
// Transmit the alternating sequences '0123456789ABCDEF' and
// 'ABCDEF0123456789' instead of the RDS data
// Delete the transparent data
// Enable standard RDS data transmission

12.21.2 Remote-control commands
STEReo:DIRect "<FFG>=<RetrNumb>,<DataSeq#1>,<DataSeq#2>,..."
STEReo:DIRect? "<FFG>"
Transmits data via free format groups (FFGs). A free format group can be filled with
any desired data. (5 bits in block B and 16 bits each in blocks C and D of the group).
Note: This command causes that a queue is filled with data for a specific group. Sends
the data only if the group in question is added to the group sequence with the com-
mand STEReo:DIRect.
Setting parameters:
<RetrNumb> Number of retransmissions
<DataSeq> You can define up to 20 different data sequences.
Specify at least 10 characters per <DataSeq>. Add leading
zeros, if any.
00 Erases the data.
Range: 0000000000 to 1FFFFFFFFF (10 ASCII coded
hexadecimal characters each)
Parameters for setting and query:
<FFG> 1A | 3A | 5A | 6A | 7A | 8A | 9A | 10A | 11A | 12A | 13A
Determines the free format group.
To transmit the FFGs of the B group, use same commands.
Replace the A groups are by the B groups in the group
sequence. If B groups are transmitted, block C is overwritten
with the PI code.
