Serial Interface Specification
Transfer Specification
1. Transmission Speed: initial setting value is 19200.
2. Transmission speed can be changed via the Installation menu
(see below baud rate)
Connection
The Designated RS-232C serial cable must be used for a
connection to a computer and LCD monitor.
The TV command is defined by one command/ one line that starts
with “C” and ends with carriage return. (0x0D)
There are two types of commands:
Functional Execution Command e.g Co5[CR] (table on page 63)
Status Read Commands e.g “CR0 [CR] (see table on page 63)
Setting the monitor address in RS232 mode
To Access Installation mode press the green button on the remote
control and hold for 5 seconds. A new screen will appear.
Each monitor can have a specific Address for example 007, which
enables the monitor to be controlled individually and will not affect
other monitors connected to a controlling PC.
Address format command
The addressing format command is used for operating multiple
monitor sets from a single PC via the RS232C command line. If you
set your monitor address to ‘000’, it will never respond to any
addressing command from the PC.
If the address from the PC is ‘FFF’, all monitor sets will execute the
command.
The Address format command is defined by one command, one line
which starts with ‘A’ and ends with carriage return.(0 x0D)
The Monitor starts to decode when it receives a carriage return.
(0x0D)
An address is added at the top of a control command
Example:
Functional execution command:
“A001C05” [CR] means address is 001 and the control command is
C05
Status read command
“A001CR0”[CR] means address is 001 and command is CR0.
The monitor can set its own address in the Installation option menu
(above) The address range is 000 - 999, the default address will be
000
The baud rate indicates the unit for transfer speed of data
from the PC to the monitor sets
