3.2. Transaction
zCase A represents almost all command transaction.
zCase C transaction will be used if periodical reporting option is enabled.
zRS-232C command will be responded within one second while telnet
connection gets reply within two seconds. Timeout data may be returned.
zHost application is recommended to wait command response if exists.
Issuing next commands without waiting response will cause system
problems.

z000(Low)<= nnn <= 255(High) (Decimal)
zValues other than above will be taken as a value query.
zSet value will not be saved in the nonvolatile memory before sending #XR command.
#XR command saves all contrast and brightness values at one time as a White
Balance setting.
zIn reply string, nnn is same as sent data or retrieved value.
zOn plugging-in AC, saved respective brightness values will be overwritten by a
default value if below 47 or above79. Thus those values will last only while AC
power supplied.
zOn plugging-in AC, saved respective contrast values will be overwritten by a
default value if below 95 or above159. Thus those values will last only while AC
power supplied.
