required. Contact your dealer for details.
*In order to function, the RS-232C OUT terminal can only be connected to another monitor of the same model.
Do not connect to other types of equipment.
The following control sequence is used for a single LCD4020/LCD4620. To control multiple LCD4020/LCD4620 monitors that
are daisy-chained together please use the extended control command. Instructions for the extended control command can be
found on the CD included with the display. The file is called “External_control_LCD4X20.pdf”. When using the following
control commands, all of the daisy-chained monitors can be controlled at the same time from one monitor. Reply and status
