RS-232 Communications
Baud rate: 9600 (fixed)
Bits: 8
No Parity
All protocol in ASCII format
RS-232 input connector pin numbers:
TxD= Pin# 2
RxD= Pin# 3
GnD= Pin# 5
Command format (single command): command value (i.e. brightness 30).
NOTE: A space (not an underscore) or comma may be used between the command and its value.
Command string format: command,command value, command etc.
(i.e. COMPOSITE,BRIGHTNESS 30,ANAMORPHIC)
NOTE: In between commands, a comma must be used; a comma or space may be used in between
a command and its value.
Other notes:
· For Command strings, a maximum of 255 characters can be used in a single string.
· If it is necessary to input multiple commands, they should all be together in a single string.
Inputting commands one at a time requires a 15 second delay between commands, as the
information is stored into non-volatile memory after each command.
· For values not automatically stored (see next paragraph), the command "!STORE" must be
sent in order for the PFP Controller to keep the settings. Otherwise, the values will be
considered temporary and will revert to their stored settings upon source change or
power-up.
· The Value Stored column refers to a command that is either automatically stored or if it
must be manually stored with the "!STORE" command.
· PARAMETER min/max refers to a function's minimum and maximum value range. Inputting
values above or below their range may cause unpredictable (but not fatal) results. If NA
appears in this column, the NA numerical parameter needs to be included with the
command itself.
