Would you like to control the MRDS1322 based RDS encoder from your own
application? This section shows you an example how to do it in Delphi. All sources and
compiled exe file are included. In other programming languages the implementation is very
similar. The DLL is provided for anybody who wants a ready to use solution. |

Note: This is a development example only. If you
look for full-featured control application for the MicroRDS, you can download it here.
The MRDSIO.DLL is a dynamic-link library that
enables easy access to the MRDS1322 based RDS encoder from PC and user application. The
user does not need to solve the information above, like how to access the communication
ports or how to implement the communication protocol. Simply call the DLL functions from
your application. An example and full documentation is included in the DLL zip file.
The example shows how to send and receive program
service name (PS) to/from the MicroRDS unit using the mrdsio.dll file.
How to start?
- Download the mrdsio.zip file
- Run the example.exe file
- Configure the connection and click on Connect button
- After clicking on Send button the string from edit
box is sent to the RDS encoder and new PS is showed immediately
- After clicking on Receive button the string is read
from the internal MRDS1322 memory and showed in the edit box
Writing own control
- Download the MRDS1322 datasheet
that includes commented memory map of the device - in other words what RDS service is
placed on each address
- Read the mrdsio.pdf DLL specification
- Now you can edit the example files or write a new
application in order to control the RDS encoder
