Figure 2- 18 Add New PID Definition Page
The Add New PID Definition page allows you to define a new PID of any type, based on the destination port (Net,
Async, Sync, Other). Once the Send Update has occurred, the PID will be placed in its appropriate PID List. The
following fields can be edited on the Add New PID Definition page:
Edit Field Description
PID # The PID number in the decimal range 32 to 8190, or hexadecimal range 0x20 to 0x1FFE, must
be entered here.
Enabled Selecting this check box will enable or disable the PID from being demultiplexed by the receiver.
PID Type
The radio buttons allow you to select one type of PID based on the desired destination port for
the data. This selection determines which PID List will “own” the PID.
The Async Port and Sync Port require a data rate to be entered:
Async data rates are the standard RS-232 port baud rates: 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600,
19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200 bps.
Sync data rates can be entered in the range 1 to 10000000 bps.
MPEG over IP The IP address and UDP Port numbers are the multicast address/UDP Port
combination for this PID.
Description A meaningful identifier for the PID can be entered in this field. Up to 31 characters can be
entered. This name will appear on the PID List page where the PID information is provided. If a
description is not specified, the field is blank.
The Edit PID Definition page (example in Figure 2- 19) allows you to edit a current PID definition, of a PID selected
from one of the PID Lists (Net, Async, Sync, Other or MPEG over IP). The fields have the same meaning as the Add
New PID Definition page. Once the Send Update has occurred, the PID will be updated in appropriate PID List, based
on its type. You can change a PID type from this page. Doing so will move the PID from its current PID List to the new
PID List.
NOTE:
For ports where
only 1 PID can
be output at a
time (e.g. Async
and Sync), use
caution when
enabling a new
PID and
pressing Send
Update. Doing
so will disable
any PID already
enabled for that
port.
