IN terminal. If the equipments connected to RS-232C 2 IN terminal, this cannot be controlled.
1) Interface
Address code Function code Data code End code
HEX 30h 30h Function Data 0Dh
ASCII '0' '0' Function Data
[Address code] 30h 30h (In ASCII code, '0' '0') fixed.
[Function code] A code of each fixed control move
[Data code] A code of each fixed control data (number) and not always indicated.
[End code] 0Dh (In ASCII code, ' ') fixed.
3) Control sequence
(1) The command from a personal computer to the projector will be sent in 400ms.
(2) The projector will send a return command 400ms after it has received an encode. if the command isn’t
received correctly, the projector will not send the retirn command.
(3) The personal computer checks the command and confirms that if the command which has been sent has
