1 PURPOSE
This document describes the Projector Management Protocol between the Projector and a Computer (Host). The Protocol is
based on a ASCII commands. By using this protocol a Host will be able control the projector on a physical link.
2 SCOPE
The physical link is not defined in this document. Therefore the protocol can either be implemented on top of RS-232, USB,
Ethernet or other forthcoming communication methods.
3 FUNCTION TYPE
The Function is grouped in four different function types:
Function type Comments
Execute An execute function executes an action on the projector, i.e.

have to be legal.
Adjust An adjust function is characterized by Maximum >
Minimum. And all the integer values between Minimum and
Maximum are legal.
Query A query function is a read only function.
Table 1
