3. After completion of the connection, turn on the visualizer，click [start] 
[All Programs] Visualizer and the following
dialog box appears as below:

17
When the indicator of “Current RS-232 Connection Status”is green, that
means the connection between the visualizer and the computer‟s RS232
connector is good. If the indicator is red, please check if the RS232 cable is
connected correctly. When all the cables are connected correctly, please
click “Projector”to select your projector model under the drop-down list,
then click “Send”. If you can not find your particular projector model in the
“Projector”, please do the following:
1)．Select “Baud rate”and “parity”and input the projector control code.
(The baud rate, parity and control code is supplied by projector‟s
manufacturer, please refer to the projector‟manual)
The input format of projector‟s control code is as follows:
a. If the data is in the numerical value format, please input data directly,
block them off with comma, do not distinguish lowercase and uppercase.
For example: the “POWER ON”code in Hitachi projector manual is :
BE EF 03 06 00
BAD2
01 00
00 60
01 00

18
In the POWRE ON box,Input : be, ef, 03, 06, 00, ba, d2, 01, 00, 00, 60, 01,
00. Then use the same input rule to input other code.
b. If the data is in the character string format, input „character string‟.
For example: the “POWER ON”code in the SHARP C40/50 projector
manual is :
P
O
W
R
-
-
-
1
（“-”is space，is enter.）
In the POWER ON box, input ‟POWR 1‟, 0d, 0a
(Remarks: There are 3 spaces after POWER, 0d, 0a is enter.)
Input other codes in the same way.
c. If the data is in the numerical value and character format, then
synthesize the above-mentioned formats.
3)．Once done, click “Add”to add your projector model, then Click “Send”.
Afterward, click “Ok”. Now, you can use the visualizer to control your
projector.
4. Connect the visualizer‟s projector control port to the RS232 port with a
RS232 cable（Please disconnect the computer from the RS232 port first）.
Then use buttons on the operation panel to control the projector.
The visualizer provides a 6-pin to 9-pin RS232 cable. If this cable does not
match to your projector‟s RS232 port, an additional RS232 cable is needed.
This additional RS232 cable can be made based on the pin location of the
projector‟s RS232 control port. The pin locations of the visualizer are: the
pin 1 is RXD (Received Data); the pin 5 is TXD (Transmitted Data); the pin
4 is GND (Ground). Other pins are not defined. The pin location information
of the projector is provided by the projector‟s manufacturer. The projector‟s
RS232 control port normally has RXD pin, TXD
pin and GND pin, the name may be different. The
parallelism of each data pin is shown as follows:
Visualizer‟s RXD pin------------Projector‟s TXD pin
Visualizer‟s TXD pin------------Projector‟s RXD pin
Visualizer‟s GND pin------------Projector‟s GND pin

5. If you can not use buttons on the operation panel to control the projector,
please use Code-Writing software‟s projector control code testing function
to check if the control code is correct.
Click “Projector”button, the following dialog box appears as below:
Connect the visualizer to a computer with a RS232 cable (Please
disconnect the projector from the RS232 port first) and select the Baud
Rate and Parity based on the projector‟s Baud Rate, then click the “TEST”
button to pop up the Projector Code Test dialog box, input the Baud Rate
and Parity based on the projector‟s Baud rate, then click “Open”.
Click the projector control buttons on the visualizer‟s operating panel to
check if the control code that the program received is the same as the
sending code. If the receiving code is same to the sending code, the input
codes are correct. If the visualizer can not control the projector, please do
the following.
1. Check to see if the source control codes of projector are correct.
2. Check to make sure the connection between the visualizer and the
projector is correct.
