Command format (single command): command value (i.e. brightness 30).

NOTE: A space (not an underscore) or comma may be used between the command and its value.

Command string format: command,command value, command etc.

(i.e. COMPOSITE,BRIGHTNESS 30,ANAMORPHIC, CARRIAGE RETURN)

NOTE: In between commands, a comma must be used; a comma or space may be used in between a command and its value. A carriage return must be used at the end of a command or string.

Other notes:

·A carriage return is required at the end of each command or string.

·For Command strings, a maximum of 255 characters can be used in a single string.

·If it is necessary to input multiple commands, they should all be together in a single string. Inputting com- mands one at a time requires a 15 second delay between commands, as the information is stored into non- volatile memory after each command.

·For values not automatically stored (see next paragraph), the command "!STORE" must be sent in order for the PFP Controller to keep the settings. Otherwise, the values will be considered temporary and will revert to their stored settings upon source change or power-up.

·The Value Stored column refers to a command that is either automatically stored or if it must be manu- ally stored with the "!STORE" command.

·PARAMETER min/max refers to a function's minimum and maximum value range. Inputting values above or below their range may cause unpredictable (but not fatal) results. If NA appears in this col- umn, the NA numerical parameter needs to be included with the command itself.
