SerialCommunicationsunications, cont’d

The transmitter must be programmed with commands to be sent upon input selection and with projector power on/off commands before those commands are sent.

The transmitter can also be configured with several serial port variables to match the controlling device and the device to be controlled.

You can program and operate the transmitter either by using the ICS100 Windows- based control program or by sending individual ASCII commands. Both programming methods require that a null modem serial port cable be connected between a computer and the transmitter’s RS-232 port.

ICS100 Windows-Based Control Program

The ICS100 Control Program, a graphical control software for Windows, provides a way to program the transmitter.
