RS-232C Specifications and Commands

Computer control

A computer can be used to control the projector by connecting an RS-232C serial control cable (cross type, commercially available) to the projector. (See page 26 of the projector’s operation manual for connection.)

Communication conditions

Set the serial port settings of the computer to match that of the table.

Signal format: Conforms to RS-232C standard.

Parity bit: None

Baud rate*: 9,600 bps / 115,200 bps

Stop bit: 1 bit

Data length: 8 bits

Flow control: None

*Set the projector’s baud rate to the same rate as used by the computer.

Basic format

Commands from the computer are sent in the following order: command, parameter, and return code. After the projector processes the command from the computer, it sends a response code to the computer.

Info

•When controlling the projector using RS-232C commands from a computer, wait for at least 30 seconds after the power has been turned on, and then transmit the commands.

•When more than one code is being sent, send each command only after the response code for the previ- ous command from the projector is verified.

•“POWR????” “TABN _ _ _ 1” “TLPS _ _ _ 1” “TPOW _ _ _ 1” “TLPN _ _ _ 1” “TLTT _ _ _ 1” “TLTL _ _ _ 1”

“TNAM _ _ _ 1” “MNRD _ _ _ 1” “PJN0 _ _ _ 1” When the projector receives a command shown above:

*The on-screen display will not disappear.

*The “Auto Power Off” timer will not be reset.

Note

•If an underbar (_) appears in the parameter column, enter a space.

•If an asterisk (*) appears in the parameter column, enter a value in the range indicated in brackets under Control Contents.

*1 For setting the projector name, send the commands in the order of PJN1, PJN2 and PJN3. *2 Parameters of CLR Temp settings are as follows.
