7.4 PLASMA CONTROL WITH INTERNAL BUS

The PE1005 has the capability of sending commands directly to the plasma’s internal bus or to third-party video cards installed in the plasma. This allows the user to control settings on the display without having to use the menu buttons on the display or with the remote control.

As in the previous sections, commands are sent via standard RS-232 communication. Commands may be sent directly to the internal bus, or stored into RS memory locations and recalled from the memory location and sent to the bus. The commands for communicating with the internal bus are [OUTPDPM] and [SENDBS]. See the previous sections for details on these two commands, including restrictions on the number of characters that may be stored or sent in a single command.

7.4.1 INTERNAL COMMAND FORMAT

The internal commands for the PE1005 are in the following format and must contain the protocols indicated:

1.	Start of text. (STX)	%02
2.	Plasma ID (default)	%2A%2A
3.	Command ID	See Appendix A of the
		Pioneer manual
		mentioned earlier.
4.	End of text. (ETX)	%03

7.4.2 SENDING COMMANDS TO INTERNAL BUS

The default baud rate for the PE1005 is 9600 baud. Prior to sending any commands, verify both the plasma and PE1005 are set to 9600 baud.

In order to change setting values, the plasma must be in adjustment mode. The plasma may be placed into adjustment mode by sending the command AJY.

The following examples demonstrate communication with the plasma through the internal bus using both stored commands and direct commands. All commands may be sent to the plasma using either method.

Example 1: Adjustment Mode

Place the plasma into adjustment mode by sending the following command directly to the internal bus:

[SENDBS<%02%2A%2AAJY%03>]
