MCCS

The Monitor Control Command Set (MCCS) application allows you to test a display’s MCCS support. The MCCS
application queries the connected display to determine the Virtual Control Panel (VCP) codes supported by the
display. The application presents the supported codes in a graphical user interface, allowing you to monitor
MCCS transactions and operate the display through the interface. In addition, you can manually execute MCCS
commands through the Script pane in the interface. A sample screen of the MCCS interface is shown below.
