1PURPOSE

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.

2SCOPE

The physical link is not defined in this document. Therefore the protocol can either be implemented on topof RS-232, USB,

Ethernet or other forthcoming communication methods.

3FUNCTION 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.

only one state.

State A State function performs a set operation from a predefined

list of states. Not all values in the range

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

3.1 Legal Arguments

Each Function type has a set of legal arguments:

Function type Argument Comments

State <decimal number> Sets the function to the required state.

Adjust +Increases the value of the function one step.

Adjust -Decreases the value of the function one step.

Adjust <decimal number> Sets the value of the function to the specific number.

All ?Requests current, max and min value of the function.

Execute EExecutes an action.

All S? Returns ‘0’ if function is not supported

Return ‘1’ if function is supported

All CReturns Current Value

All XReturn max value

All MReturns min value

All DSet the function to the default value

4COMMAND RETURN CODES

If a valid command is received the projector executes the command and as an acknowledgment it replies to the projector by

returning a copy of the command with the current value appended.

If the projector receives an illegal command it replies by returning an error message.

5COMMAND SYNTAX

Every command consists of a command that is ended with a delimiter. The command consists off a function code, a

separator, and an argument.

A function code consists of 3-5 ASCII letters and begins with a letter [A-Z], [a-z]

|---------------------Command----------------------------------|

At the end of this document, the “Table of Serial Commands” lists all valid function codes. Any other combination of

characters received before a delimiter will result in an error response from the projector to the control unit (Host).

5.1 Delimiter

ASCII HEX DEC Comment

^M 0D 13 The stop of a command is indicated by a carriage return = ↵

^L 0A 10 Line feeds after CR is ignored.

5.2 Separator

9SETUP RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended to disable DPMS and Source search with,

DPMS;0↵

SRCH;0↵

,for best control of the projector.

Also disable keyboard and remote after PowerOn with:

IRRE;0↵

KBRD;0↵

These two command isn’t saved so it’s recommended to always set them after the PWR;1 command.

9.1 Setting Up

To enable serial RS-232 control do the following:

•Power up the projector

•Connect the serial (COM) port from the Computer (Host) to the RS-232 port on the projector by using the optional

twisted serial cable mentioned below under CABLES. Power up the computer.

•On the PC side a software that can perform a “terminal emulation” is needed. This is a standard component in most

operating systems, and it is also available as stand alone software. NortonPCAnywhere and Norton Commander are

two programs that can do this. As it is a standard component in the Windows Operating System, we recommend that

HyperTerminal is being used. This can normally be found in the accessories menu. Set the Computer serial port settings

as shown below: Default is 9600 baud - 8 bit - No parity - No flow control - 1 stop bit

•Press ENTER (sending a carriage return) and the projector should respond by sending a prompt (ASK>). The projector

is now ready to receive commands.
