RS232 Terminal Specifications-Communication configuration
To control your projector from an LCD control panel, connect the null modem cable and set
your computer’s serial port settings to match this communication configuration:
Command format
All commands consist of 3 alphanumeric characters followed by a request, all enclosed in
parentheses. The request can be a read request (indicated by a “?”) or a write request (indi-
cated by 1 to 4 ASCII digits).
A read request format: (AAA?) where
( starts the command
AAA denotes the command
? denotes the read request
) ends the command
A read command returns the range and the current setting, for example:
A write request example: (AAA####) where
( starts the command
AAA denotes the command
#### denotes the value to be written
(leading zeros not necessary)
) ends the command
Some commands have ranges, while others are absolute. If a number greater than the maxi-
mum range is received, it is automatically set to the maximum number for that function. If a
command is received that is not understood, a “?” is returned. With absolute settings, “0” is
off, 1-9999 is on. The one exception is the Power command, where 0 is off and 1 is on.
