Serial Communications
The transmitter must be programmed with commands to be sent upon input
selection and with projector power on/off commands before those commands will
be sent.
The transmitter can also be configured with several serial port variables to match
the controlling device and the device to be controlled.
You can program and operate the transmitter either by using the ICS100 Windows-
based control program or by sending individual ASCII commands. Both
programming methods require that a null modem serial port cable be connected
between a computer and the transmitter’s RS-232 port.
ICS100 Windows-Based Control Program
The ICS100 Control Program, a graphical control software for Windows, provides a
way to program the transmitter.
