NOTE:
If your PC (IBM or IBM compatible) is equipped only with a 25-pin serial port connector, a 25-pin serial port adapter is
required. Contact your dealer for details.
* In order to function, the RS-232C OUT terminal can only be connected to another monitor of the same model.
Do not connect to other types of equipment.
The following control sequence is used for a single LCD6520L/LCD6520P. To control multiple LCD6520L/LCD6520P monitors
that are daisy-chained together please use the extended control command. Instructions for the extended control command
can be found on the CD included with the display. The file is called “External_control.pdf”. When using the following control
commands, all of the daisy-chained monitors can be controlled at the same time from one monitor. Reply and status
