Description

=

Sets the value specified by the parameter

_(underbar)

Adds the value specified by the parameter to the current value.

5. Sign

Specifies the method of processing the value specified by parameters.

Code

Description

+

The value specified by the parameter is a positive value or 0 (zero).

–

The value specified by the parameter is a negative value.

6. Parameters

  Specify the setting or adjustment value by right justification (0 is not suppressed).

  For example, when the setting value is "1", set it as "00001".

7. ID of the basic control command

  This projector will respond to the computer only if the sent ID coincides with the projector ID.

9. Attention

-  If a command is transmitted after the lamp starts illuminating, there may be a delay in response or the command may not be 

executed. Try sending or receiving any command after 60 seconds.

- When transmitting multiple commands, be sure to wait until 0.5 seconds has elapsed after receiving the response from the

projector before sending the next command.

- It might take time by the time the response returns because the command is processed in the projector.

  Set the time-out to 10 seconds or longer.
