callLettersToPICode

Convert North American call letters to binary PI code

Description

example

picode = callLettersToPICode(rbdsgen,callLetters) returns the 16-bit program identification (PI) code that corresponds to callLetters.

Examples

Use the callLettersToPICode object function to generate the PI code for an RBDS waveform.

rbdsgen = comm.RBDSWaveformGenerator;
callLetters = "WLIR";
callLettersToPICode(rbdsgen,callLetters)
ans = 1×16

Input Arguments

collapse all

RBDS waveform generator object, specified as a comm.RBDSWaveformGenerator object.

Radio station call letters, specified as a three- or four-character string or character vector. Acceptable call letter formats are three-character or four-character vectors beginning with 'K' or 'W'.

Example: "WLIR" or "KPOA"

Data Types: char | string

Output Arguments
