RS232 control is not necessary for operation, but is a convenient way to control displays from a computer at a distance. Most things you can do with the remote, you can do with RS232 commands. Plus, you can send inquiries to the displays and find out the current settings and values.

1. RS232 Command Format

STX(1byte) + IDT(1byte)+ Type(1byte)+ CMD(3bytes)+ [Value/Reply(1byte)] + ETX(1byte)

STX: Start byte = 07 IDT: Don’t care Type: Read or Write command, 01: read, 02: write; 00: return to host (from monitor) CMD: As shown in the table on the following pages Value: Setting Value of “Write Command” Reply: Return Value of monitor ETX: End byte = 08

Transmit from PC (Host)

Read command: 07 IDT 01 CMD 08 (7bytes) Write/Setting command: 07 IDT 02 CMD VAL 08 (8bytes)

Return from Monitor: Sent after receiving any valid command. The response CMD is the same as the

received CMD.

2. Serial Port Setting

Baud rate can be set to 115200, 38400, 19200, or 9600 to match the monitor baud rate setting. Baud rate 19200 is the default setting.
