nCommunication interval

•After OK or ERR is returned, you must send the following commands.

To set a timeout for the command response, specify 10 seconds or longer.

When connecting multiple monitors in a daisy chain, set the timeout to at least the product of the monitor’s position from the computer multiplied by 10 seconds.

Example) 3rd monitor from computer: 30 seconds or longer.

•Provide an interval of 100 ms or more between the command response and the transmission of the next command.

VOLM0020

OK

Interval of 100 ms or more

INPS0001

WAIT

OK

•“ERR” is returned when there is no relevant command or when the command cannot be used in the current state of the monitor.

•If communication has not been established for reasons such as a bad connection between the PC and monitor, nothing is returned (not even ERR).

•“ERR” may be returned when a command can’t be received correctly due to interference from the surrounding environment.

Please ensure that the system or software retries the command if this occurs.

•If no monitor has been assigned the designated ID number (e.g. if the command IDSL0002 is used, but no monitor with ID number: 2 is found), no response is returned.

If execution of the command is taking some time

TIPS

•When executing ALL RESET, set the timeout period to 30 seconds or longer.

•When turning the power on while the POWER ON DELAY function is in use, set the timeout period to the POWER ON DELAY period + 10 seconds or longer.
