TIPS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

ENGLISH

- The TFT color LCD panel used in this monitor is

made with the application of high precision
technology. However, there may be minute
points on the screen where pixels never light or
are permanently lit. Also, if the screen is viewed
from an acute angle there may be uneven colors
or brightness. Please note that these are not
malfunctions but common phenomena of LCDs
and will not affect the performance of the moni­tor.

- Do not display the same image on the screen

for a long period of time, as this may cause an
afterimage to remain.

- The quality of the computer signal may influ-

ence the quality of the display. We recommend
using a computer able to perform high quality
video signals.

Communication procedure

Basic operation

<Command format>

When a command is sent from the PC to the monitor, the monitor operates according to the received
command, and sends a response message to the PC.

Carriage return code

C1 C2 C3 C4 P1 P2 P3 P4

Command field

(4 prescribed

alphanumerical

characters)

Example: VOLM0030

POWR 1 (“ ” indicates a space.)
* Be sure to input 4 characters for the parameter. Pad with spaces if necessary.

✕ VOLM30

●● VOLM 30 (“ ” indicates a space. “ ” is the carriage return code (0DH, 0AH or 0DH).)

Parameter field

(4 character string

comprised of:

0-9, +, -, space, ?)

If a command has “R” listed for “DIRECTION” in the “RS-232C Command table” on page 52, the current
value can be returned by using “?” as the parameter.

Example: 1. If an ID number has not been set:

VOLM???? ← From PC to monitor (Current volume setting: ?)
30 ← From monitor to PC (Current volume setting: 30)

2. If an ID number has been assigned (For example, ID number = 001)
VOLM ? ← From PC to monitor (“ ” indicates a space.)
30 001 ← From monitor to PC (“ ” indicates a space.)

* This is returned when there is no such com-

mand, or when the command cannot be used in
the current state of the monitor (i.e. video auto­adjustment with video display).

* If there is a bad connection between the PC

and monitor, or if communication has not been
established, nothing is returned (not even
ERR).

If a command takes some time to execute, WAIT
may be returned as the return value. Wait for a
moment, and OK or ERR will be returned. New
commands cannot be received during this time,
even if they are sent.

If RS-232C control has been locked with the
operation lock (see page 29), LOCKED is re­turned as the returned value.

Advanced operation

This section explains commands for daisy chain connection. The basic communication procedure is the
same as in the “Basic operation” section.

<ID numbers>

You can assign a unique ID number to each monitor (see page 34). This allows you to control a particular
monitor in a daisy chain of monitors.
Up to about 20 monitors can be connected, depending on the length of RS-232C cables and installation
environment.
You can assign ID numbers either from the menu screen (via remote control or the control buttons on the
monitor) or from the PC using RS-232C cable.

[Example]

PC ID number: 1 ID number: 2 ID number: 3 ID number: 4

ENGLISH

If monitors are connected as shown above, you can execute commands like “Set the volume of the
monitor with ID 4 to 20”.

When controlling monitors linked in a daisy chain by designating ID numbers, you should basically avoid
any duplication of ID numbers.
If the same ID number is assigned to multiple monitors, only the monitor closest to the PC can be con­trolled with that ID number.
If monitors are connected as shown below, only the monitor (1) can be accessed with ID number 2.
Monitor (2) cannot be controlled using that ID number.

[Example]

PC ID number: 1 ID number: 2 ID number: 2 ID number: 3

(1) (2)

ID numbers do not have to be assigned in ascending order starting from the PC. They can also be con­nected as shown below.

[Example]

PC ID number: 3 ID number: 2 ID number: 4 ID number: 1

PC Operation (Continued)

<Commands for ID control>

The command examples shown on this page assume the following connection and ID number set up.

PC ID number: 1 ID number: 2 ID number: 3 ID number: 4

IDST......A monitor receiving this command sets its own ID number in the parameter field.

Example: IDST0001

OK_001 ← The ID number of this monitor is set to 1.

Note

After linking monitors, you can automatically assign ID numbers by using the IDST command with
the Repeater control (see “Repeater control” on page 49).

[Example]

PC Set 1 Set 2 Set 3 Set 4

If you connect monitors as shown above, and use the command “IDST001+”, ID numbers will be set
automatically, as shown below.

[Example]

PC ID number: 1 ID number: 2 ID number: 3 ID number: 4

IDST001+ ← ID setting command with repeater control
WAIT
OK 001 ← ID = “OK” response from ID number=1
OK 002 ← ID = “OK” response from ID number=2
OK 003 ← ID = “OK” response from ID number=3
OK 004 ← ID = “OK” response from ID number=4 (End)

E

42

IDSL....... The parameter of this command sets the ID number indicating the monitor subject to the

next command.

Example:

IDSL0002 ← The next command is for the monitor with ID number=2.
WAIT ← Searching for monitor with ID number=2
OK_002 ← Found monitor with ID number=2
VOLM0030 ← Sets volume of monitor with ID number=2 to 30.
WAIT ← Processing
OK_002 ← OK response from monitor with ID number=2
VOLM0020 ← Sets volume to 20.
OK_001 ← The volume of the monitor with ID number=1

(the one directly connected to the PC) is set to 20.

The IDSL command is
effective only once, for the
immediately succeeding
command.

IDLK....... The parameter of this command sets the ID number indicating the monitor subject to all

subsequent commands.

Example:

IDLK0002 ← Following commands are for the monitor whose ID number is “2”.
WAIT ← Searching for monitor with ID number=2
OK_002 ← Found monitor with ID number=2
VOLM0030 ← Sets volume of monitor with ID number=2 to 30.
WAIT ← Processing
OK_002
VOLM0020 ← Sets volume of monitor with ID number=2 to 20.
WAIT

The IDLK command remains
effective until it is canceled, or
power is shut off.

OK_002
IDLK0000 ← Canceling ID number setting
WAIT ← Canceling IDLK
OK_002 ← Cancelation complete
VOLM0010
OK_001 ← The volume of the monitor with ID number=1

(the one directly connected to the PC) is set to 10.

ENGLISH

IDCK ...... Provides screen display of the ID number currently assigned to a monitor, and the ID num-

ber currently set for IDLK (if any).

Example:

(After executing IDLK0002)
IDCK0000 ← (Parameter has no meaning.)
ID:001 IDLK:002 ← Returned response. The ID number is also displayed on the monitor screen.
IDCK000+ ← Repeater control

(If a command is used with repeater control, ID designation using IDSL or

IDLK is canceled.)
WAIT
ID:001 IDLK:002
ID:002 IDLK:002
ID:003 IDLK:002
ID:004 IDLK:002

43

E

PC Operation (Continued)

<Repeater control>

This system has a function to allow setting of multiple monitors connected in a daisy chain using a
single command. This function is called repeater control.
The number of connectable monitors varies depending on the length of the cable used and the surround­ing environment.
You can use Repeater control function without assigning ID numbers.

[Example]

PC Set 1 Set 2 Set 3 Set 4

If monitors are connected as shown above, you can execute a command like “Set all monitors’ input
settings to INPUT1”.

<Repeater control command>

Repeater control is achieved by setting the FOURTH CHARACTER of the parameter to “+”.

Example:

VOLM030+ ← Sets volume of all monitors to 30.

In repeater control, responses are returned by all the connected monitors.*
If you want to determine that a value has been returned by a specific set, assign ID numbers to
each monitor in advance.
If no response is returned, this may be because the monitor has not received (or is still processing)
the command, so it is possible that new commands may not be executed even if they
are sent.
* If power is turned “OFF” using Repeater control, only the monitor closest to the PC returns a re-

sponse.

Example:

(When 4 monitors are connected, and assigned ID numbers 1 through 4)
VOLM030+
WAIT
OK_001
OK_002
OK_003
OK_004 ← If 4 monitors are connected in a chain, reliable operation can be ensured by sending

a new command only after a reply has been returned by 4th (last) monitor.

Repeater control can also be used for reading settings.

Example:

VOLM???+
WAIT
10 001
20 002
30 003
40 004

E

44

Volume settings for all monitors are returned.

• If repeater control is used during ID designation (IDSL, IDLK), the ID designation is canceled.

■ Warning when temperature rises

Nature of warning:

• The power LED lights up red and the monitor enters standby mode.

Solution:

• If the monitor enters standby mode due to a rise in temperature, you can turn off the main power
switch and turn it back on again. However the monitor will enter standby mode again if the cause of
the temperature rise is not eliminated.

• Check whether the monitor is placed at a location where a quick rise in temperature is likely. Internal
temperature rises quickly if the vents on the back are blocked.

• Internal temperature rises quickly if dust accumulates inside the monitor or around the vents.
Remove dust if possible. Ask your dealer about removing internal dust.

• If the power LED blinks red, there might be a problem with the fan.

Cracking sound

ENGLISH

The monitor sometimes makes a cracking sound.

•You may hear cracking sound from the monitor. This happens
when the cabinet slightly expands and contracts according to
change in temperature. This does not affect the monitor’s
performance.
