Pin assignments and signal names
Communication conditions (factory setting)
Basic format
Transmission from the computer begins with STX, then the ID, command, parameter, and ETX are sent
in this order. Add parameters according to the details of control.
CAUTION
•
It may not be possible to send or receive commands for about 10 to 60 seconds when the lamp is first turned on. If this occurs, wait for 60 seconds,
then try sending or receiving again.
•
When sending multiple commands, be sure to wait for at least 0.5 second after receiving a response from the projector before sending the next com-
mand.
•
Additional time is sometimes required for response due to processing inside the projector. Set the time-out period for command response to 10 seconds
or more.
