RS-232C Adjustment
This display has an RS-232C terminal. It is possible to use a PC to make various adjustments and settings.
1 About the RS-232C Adjustment
Adjustments using the RS-232C:
• The adjustments are written to the same memory area as for the integrator mode (refer to section 5.4.4, “PICTURE,
White Balance and SCREEN Position Adjustment Values Memory Area Tables” (pg. 184 to 188)).
(1) Assign an ID before using the RS-232C adjustment. Include the panel ID in the RS-232C command.
For details, refer to section 5.5.2, “Interface” (pg. 190).
(2) Of the adjustment values and setting items set by RS-232C commands, there are some items that are
stored in memory and some that are not. For details, refer to section 5.5.5, “List of RS-232C Commands”
(pg. 194). Also, when storing values in “last” memory, the conditions described in section 5.1.5, “Last
Memory” (pg. 98), must be satisfied.
(3) <OSDS00>/<OSDS01> (OSD display disable/enable setting)
Regardless of the setting, the following items can be displayed.
• Menu display (menu mode, integrator mode)
• Warnings before Auto Power OFF or Power Management operation
• Warning of high temperature inside the panel
• Display announcing that the FUNCTIONAL LOCK is set and the FUNCTIONAL LOCK setting display
• Display call (including holding a button down)
(4) When using RS-232C commands, control the input signal as well as the power. If the power is ON when
there is no signal, the display continues to have a weak discharge. This activity can affect the life of the
display.

(2) Sending numerical direct commands:
STX (02 hex) ID (2 Byte) COMMAND (3 Byte) ARGUMENT (3 Byte) ETX (03 hex)
ID, COMMAND, ARGUMENT are transmitted as ASCII characters.
From the display to a PC
(1) Echo back (Normal response)
Command received and returned but the ID is not returned.
STX (02 hex) COMMAND (3 Byte or 6 Byte) ETX (03 hex)
Received command is a numerical direct effect command and numerical data is returned:
STX (02 hex) COMMAND (3 Byte) ARGUMENT (3 Byte) ETX (03 hex)
(2) Error (Abnormal response)
Received command is a non-corresponding command, ‘ERR’is returned:
STX (02 hex) ERR (3 Byte) ETX (03 hex)
Received command cannot be processed (when PON is received when the power is already ON, etc.), ‘XXX’is
returned:
STX (02 hex) XXX (3 Byte) ETX (03 hex)

RS-232C Adjustment
3 Combination Connection
When controlling/adjusting panels, it is convenient to connect several displays to one PC.
By performing a combination connection and assigning IDs to the panels, it is possible to control and adjust several
displays at the same time or separately.
Connection method:
Connect the panels as shown in the figure below.
Only the combination IN terminal or the RS-232C terminal can be used at the same time. Connecting them at the
same time could cause errors. Also, do not pair combination IN terminals or combination OUT terminals. Doing so
could cause communication to fail.
It is possible to use a general-purpose mini DIN 6-pin (straight) cable for the combination cable.
Note
To output RS-232C signals from the combination OUT terminal, an ID must be assigned.
For details, refer to section, 5.5.4, “ID Assignment”(pg. 192).

4 ID Assignment
The ID is assigned from the PC.
Commands: <IDC> (ID CLEAR) ........ Clears the assigned ID
<IDS> (ID SET) ............. Assigns an ID
IDS is only effective when an ID is not assigned.
IDs are assigned starting from the panel closest to the PC.
Example: Case of 4 displays (assigning IDs with the PC for the first time)
First, connect an RS-232C and combination cables. (Refer to section 5.5.3, “Combination Connection”(pg.
191).)
By sending RS-232C commands in this order, it is possible to assign an ID for each panel.
When a panel has a PC-assigned ID, it can only receive commands containing the ID. Assign an ID before sending a
command.
Characters that can be used for an ID include, 0 - 9 and A - F (there is not distinction between upper case and lower case
letters).
An ∗(asterisk) can be used as follows:
<∗∗IDC>: Clear the IDs assigned for all panels
<2∗IN1>: The input for which the first digit is 2 is set to INPUT1
Precautions when assigning IDs
Panels connected after a display’s ID has been cleared cannot be operated with RS-232C commands.
When the <∗∗IDC> command is sent, the IDs for all the sets from Set #1 to Set #4 are cleared. Only the first panel,
which is directly connected to the PC, can be controlled.
Send the command <01 IDS> to control the next panel. Continue setting IDs in this way for the remaining panels to
once again control the displays.
Note
When the IDs are set, when one or both of the IDs before a command is sent from the PC is an ∗, there is no echo.
When sending more commands, wait six seconds before sending the next command.
Example) When ∗∗OOO and ∗1OOO or 1∗OOO (OOO is the command) are sent from the PC, operation is performed
but there is no echo.
Set #4
ID = 04
Set #1 Set #2 Set #3
ID = 01
Sent commands:
1<01 IDS>
2<02 IDS>
3<03 IDS>
4<04 IDS>
