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.

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-7/PFP-11 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.
