3) Control sequence

(1)The command from a personal computer to the projector will be sent in 400ms.

(2)The projector will send a return command 400ms after it has received an encode. if the command isn’t received correctly, the projector will not send the retirn command.

(3)The personal computer checks the command and confirms that if the command which has been sent has been executed or not.

(4)This projector sends various codes, other than the return code. When having a control sequence by RS- 232C, reject other codes by the personal computer side.
