RS-232 Connection

and Port Configuration

To interface the Crystal Series LCD Display with a home theater automation/control
system or a PC running terminal emulation software, connect it to your control system or
PC as shown in Figure 3-8.
Configure the RS-232 controller or PC serial port as follows: no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop
bit and no flow control. Set the baud rate to match that of the Crystal Series LCD Display
RS-232 port; the default baud rate is 115200.

6.2

Serial Command

Syntax

Table 6-1 lists the RS-232 command set. All commands are in ASCII format. A carriage
return is not required after a command.
When you send a valid command, the Crystal Series LCD Display executes it and
acknowledges it with a right-bracket character (]) followed by the four-digit numeric code
you sent; for example, ]0002. When you send an invalid command, the Crystal Series
LCD Display ignores it and returns -N/A instead of the four-digit code.
