1) Interface

PROTOCOL RS-232C BAUD RATE 9600 [bps] DATA LENGTH 8 [bits] PARITY BIT NONE STOP BIT 1 [bit] FLOW CONTROL NONE

This projector uses RXD, TXD and GND lines for RS-232C control. For RS-232C cable,the reverse type cable should be used.

2) Control command diagram

The command consists of the address code, function code, data code, and end code. The length of the command varies among the functions.

Address code Function code Data code End code HEX 30h 30h Function Data 0Dh ASCII '0' '0' Function Data

[Address code] 30h 30h (In ASCII code, '0' '0') fixed. [Function code] A code of each fixed control move. [Data code] A code of each fixed control data (number) and not always indicated. [End code] 0Dh (In ASCII code, ' ') fixed.

3) Control sequence

(1) Send the command from the personal computer to the projector. (The commands shall be sent at intervals

of at least 400ms.)

(2) The projector will send a return command 400ms* after it receives an end code. If the command is not

received correctly, the projector will not send the return command. (3) The personal computer checks the command and confirms if the sent command has been executed or not. (4) This projector sends various codes other than the return code. When having a control sequence by RS-

232C, reject other codes from the personal computer. * : The sending time of return command may delay depending on the (operating conditions) during changing

the input signal, etc. [Example] When turning the power ON (Figures and symbols enclosed in quotation marks are ASCII codes.):
