2.5 Accessing Specic

source setups

Accessing Specic Source Setups
For aSCii messages described in this document, it is assumed you are adjusting the current
source setup (channel) rather than a different specic one. However, for several commands
(for example, aSr, Auto Source) you can direct the message to particular source setup. To do
this, insert an “s” and a source# (such as “S5”) before the parameter value—the source setup
numbercanbethoughtofasa“P0”parameterpriortotherstparameter,andcanbepreceded
with an optional space. For example:
(aSr S25 1) = Turn auto-Source on for source setup #25
Use “S0” if your setting should be applied to all source setups (channels):
(aSr S0 1) = Turn auto-Source on for all source setups
The “S” source setup function cannot be used for parameters affecting the projector as a whole
such as projector address.
Other examples:
(aSr 1) = Turn aSr on for the current source setup
(aSr? S5) = What is the aSr status for source setup #5?
(aSr!S005 001) = aSr is on for source setup #5
(aSr? S7) = What is the aSr status for source setup #7?
(err 006 "aSr: Source does not exist") = Source setup #7 does not exist
(aSr?) = What is the aSr status for current source setup?
(aSr!000) = aSr is off for current source setup
Other special Functions
To add functionality to a message, include one or more of the following special characters directly
after the start code “(“. if you add more than one, they can be in any order.
PaRaMeTeR lIMITs: For single-parameter projector function codes, you can nd out the
current range of adjustment by adding the letter “M” to your request message. For example:
(lPl?M) What is the minimum and maximum lamp limit?
(lPl!M000 5000) minimum lamp limit = 0, maximum lamp limit = 5000.
ranges cannot be determined in this manner if the function has multiple parameters. note also
that for text-based parameters, the “m” values represent the shortest and longest text strings
possible.
“aUTO” MODe: For certain projector functions, you can add the letter “a” to your set message if
you want software to choose the appropriate setting. a reply with an “a” indicates that the choice
was auto-selected. For example:
(sTD a) Set the video standard to the most appropriate option.
(sTD?) What is the current video standard?
(sTD!a4) The video standard was automatically set to option 4 (such as
Pal-m).
note that in these projectors, auto mode is supported only for selecting a video standard.
although other functions (such as motion Filter) may offer an “auto” choice in its list of options,
a reply message from the projector will not include “a” to indicate that “auto” it is selected—auto
is simply an option chosen like any other.
aDJUsTInG a PIP IMaGe: When there are two images on screen, all messages affect the
primary image—that is, the larger “background” image. To direct a message to the PiP window
instead, add the letter “P” to your set message. For example:
(COn P47) in the PiP window, set contrast to 47.
(sTD? P) What is the current video standard used in the PiP window?
