| MDC-2172 VICS/RTIC Decoder |
 |
|
 |


This unit is the VICS/RTIC Decoder designed for using together with DARC Encoder (MSG-2174).
In addition, MSG-2172 has a wide receiving band suitable for worldwide traffic information
(VICS/RTIC). Received data are saved into the built-in memories up to max. 420 frames.
Data of the built-in memory can be transfered to a personal computer with the attached application software.
Since this unit is provided with an analyzing function, it can be displayed the data error rate, SI ratio, and other data.
This unit can be operated at 100V to 240V AC, and also can be operated 12V to 15V DC (Car battery).
So that it can be used at a place where no AC power source is available.

Data receive
This unit is provided with a wide-band electronic tuner and it can receive data simply by connecting an FM antenna.
Received data can be saved into four built-in memories.
Built-in memory 1 can save data of 240 frames (20 minutes), memories 2~4 can save data of 60 frames each (420 frames in total).
Since the error rate of received data can be saved at the same time, this function is useful for collecting data in a field. |

Data dump function
This unit can display data being saved in built-in memories under the layer 3 conditions.
A status is displayed every packet when dumping data. |
| ■ |
Analyze function
This unit provides two analyze functions consisting of data error rate measurement and SI monitoring.
In error rate measurement, a packet error ratio of receiving data can be displayed.In SI monitoring, the receiving data ratio can be displayed by SI. |

Others
This unit can transfer data being saved in four memories to a personal computer or MSG-2174 (DARC encoder).
The DARC editor can edit data that have been transferred to the personal computer.
Since saved data can be output to CLOCK, DATA terminals on the panel, data can be transferred to MSG-2173 without using any personal computer.This unit can also be operated at 12~15V DC, so that it can be used at a place where no AC power source is available. |
