3)Baud Rate

4800 bps (standard)

(switch-able to 1200, 2400, 9600, 19200 bps)

(NOTE) Set the baud rate to match that of the computer presently in use. Moreover, in the case that the RS-232C cable is very long, we recommend that you make the baud rate lower.

4)Data Format Start: 1-bit Data: 8-bit Parity: 0 (no parity) Stop: 1-bit

(NOTE) As computer manufactures may not use the same pin assigments. In case of communication difficalties, please check pin functions not just pin numbers.

6)Protocol

From computer to plasma display

(1)When transmitting commands individually

STX (02 hex)

ID (2 Byte) COMMAND (3 Byte) ETX (03 hex)

COMMAND 3 Byte (ASCII) ARGUMENT 3 Byte (ASCII)

(2) When transmitting commands in batches (up to max. 3 commands) .... (NOTE)

STX (02 hex) ID (2 Byte) COMMAND (3 Byte) COMMAND (3 Byte)

COMMAND (3 Byte) ETX (03 hex)

(3) When transmitting direct numeric commands

STX (02 hex) ID (2 Byte) COMMAND (3 Byte) ARGUMENT (3 Byte)

ETX (03 hex)

(NOTE)

Transmit <PON> and <POF> commands one by one. (Allow an interval of three or more seconds between commands.)

Transmit an input switching command (IN 1-4) and <AJY> command, allowing sufficient time between them.

Allow an interval of approximately Four or more seconds between input switching commands (IN 1-4).
