5.8. Configuring Tuner Properties
As described in the Programming Guide, various tuner aspects are configured through either a command/response
or get/set property API interface. The GUI contains a window to help manage properties under Window 
Properties as shown in Figure 25. “Properties Window”.
Figure 25. Properties Window
Properties are grouped by category. Properties specific to the Si477x device are prefixed with either FM or AM. FM
RDS Settings, FM UI Settings, and AM UI Settings are categories that are used to control UI behavior but do not
modify the property settings on the Si477x device. To see all properties associated with the Si477x device, choose
FM: All or AM: All: All, depending on what mode the device is powered up into.
Most properties included in the API are also included in the properties window. Clicking on a particular property
opens a brief description of the property and its arguments. Refer to the Programming Guide for detailed
information on the properties and values.
Property addresses and values can be displayed or hidden using the Display/Hide Details button. When displayed,
all of the current properties can be viewed or exported to a file (using the Export Properties button) and the last
property changed is displayed. By clicking the Export Properties button shown in Figure 25, the properties can be
exported to a .csv file.
