Each packet which is sent from the computer starts with STX. Following this is the command itself and the
parameters for that command (if any), and the packet then ends with ETX. Add parameters when necessary
according to the control contents.

NOTE:
If sending multiple commands, check that a response has been received from the projector for one command
before sending the next command.
If an incorrect command is sent from the personal computer, the “ER401” command will be sent from the
projector to the personal computer.
