Other
Transmission recognition
On the receiving side (the Projector), the data that is able to be received within the character interval
of Tc is held, and the transmission is considered received when the delimiter is received.
If the character interval received exceeds the Tc or if a delimiter is not received within 256 characters,
all data already received is lost, and the mode is reset to standby to receive commands again.
Parameter value
The <Parameter value> is defined as shown below.
<Parameter value> := <Value 1>▽, ▽<Value 2> ▽… ,▽<Value n>
<Value> := <Numerical value> | <ID> | “<Character string>”
<Numerical value> := [<Sign>] <Decimal character string (Min. 1 character to Max. 5 characters)>
* The range of valid values is from -32768 to 32767.
<ID> := 1ormoreASCIIcharacters(20hto7Eh)
<Character string> := 0 or more ASCII characters (20h to 7Eh)

3. Communication Flow
Transmission sent
At the PC, the transmission is sent within character intervals of Tc (character interval timeout).
Transmission received
At the Projector, the data that is able to be received within the character interval of Tc is held, and the
transmission is considered received when the delimiter is received.
If the character interval received exceeds the Tc or if a delimiter is not received within 256 characters,
all data already received is lost, and the mode is reset to standby to receive commands again.
Command / Response
One response is always returned for each command sent from the PC.
PC Projector
Commands
WithinTr
Response
* The timeout interval between command and response (Tr) is 15 seconds.
Response Reception Timeout
If a response is not received within the Tr (timeout interval between command and response) while
standing by a waiting response after sending a command from the PC, it is deemed to have exceeded
the “response reception timeout.” Please resend the command.
Control Mode
"LOCAL mode" and "REMOTE mode" on previous models (SX50、SX6、SX60、X600、SX7、X700) have
been removed. You do not need to be aware of which mode it is in (no need to use "REMOTE" and
"LOCAL" commands) to send user commands.
Other
If AC power is supplied to the projector, communication is possible regardless of whether the power is
on or off.
The PC side cannot send the next user command before a response for the first command is returned.
If more than 2 user commands arrive at one port, "BAD_SEQUENCE" will be returned in response to
the second user command.
For procedures which return “BAD SEQUENCE”, change the procedure, and do not send the next user
command on the PC side before a response for the first command is returned.
