Response
Transmissions sent from Projector to PC in response to commands from PC.
Transmissionformat
<Response character string> <Delimiter>
<Response character string>
Character strings consisting of one or more ASCII characters.
The first two characters are always <one lowercase letter>:
The first character indicates the response type.
Response type Meaning Example
i State response i:OK i:BUSY etc.
w Warning w:USER_COMMAND..
e Error e:000B INVALID..
g Reference command response g:AVOL=10
r Range request command response r:VKS=N, -50, 50
<Delimiters>
Delimiters for commands sent from PC.
Type
OK response After processing of each command is completed, a response is sent indicating that the next
command can be received.
<OK response character string>:=i:OK
BUSY response This response is sent when a command cannot be received during processing. Wait for a few
moments, and then try sending the command again.
<BUSY response character string>:=i:BUSY
Example: > IMAGE=2
< i:BUSY
WARN response This response is sent when warning information is issued.
Note that this command cannot be executed.
<Warning response character string>:= w:<Warning description>
Example: > IMAGE=2
< w:USER_COMMAND_VERSION_IS_UPDATED
ERR response An error message is output.
<Error response character string>:= e:<Error code>□<Error message>
* <Error code> is expressed as a four-digit hexadecimal number.
* Refer to “Error List”!
Example: > abcdefg
< e:0002 INVALID_COMMAND
GET response Request response for each parameter.
<GET response character string>:=g<Parameter name>=<Value>
Example: > GET LANG or ? LANG
< g:LANG=JPN
RANGE response This is the settable range response for each parameter.
<Range response character string> := r:<Parameter name>=<Type>, <Setting

Transmission recognition
Transmission is recognized when delimiter is received.
Even if a maximum transmission length is received, the entire received transmission will be lost unless a delimiter
is received.
The <Parameter value> is defined as shown below.
<Parameter value> := <Value 1>▽<Value 2> ▽.. ▽ <Value n>
<Value> := <Numerical value> | <ID> | “<Character string>”
<Numerical value> := [<Sign>] <Decimal character string (Min. 1 character to Max. 5 characters)>
* The range of valid values is -32768 to 32767.
<ID> := 1 or more ASCII characters (20h to 7Fh)
<Character string> := 0 or more ASCII characters (20h to 7Fh)

3. Communication Flow
Transmission sent
At the sending side (PC), the transmission is sent within character intervals of Tc (character interval timeout).
Transmission received
At the receiving side (Projector), data able to be received within the character interval of Tc is held, and receiving of
a delimiter is considered “transmission received”.
If a received character interval exceeds Tc or a delimiter is not received within 256 characters, all data already
received is lost, and the mode is reset to receive standby again.
Command/Response
One response is always returned for each command sent from the PC. (However, note that a response may not be
returned when the internal receive buffer overflows due to reception of a large amount of data.)
WithinTr
Response
* The timeout interval between command and response (Tr) is 10 seconds.

Commands
Response Reception Timeout
If a response is not received within Tr (timeout interval between command and response) while in response
reception standby after sending a command at the PC, resend the command in the “response reception timeout”.
