RS232 Documentation
Introduction: RS-232 is a communication protocol that can be used to send commands to and retrieve status information from projectors and other RS-232 enabled devices. Most commonly the RS-232 capability of projectors is used in conjunction with a control system capable of managing several other systems, such as lighting, curtains and audio systems, often via a touch panel remote. Simpler RS-232 implementations require nothing more than a personal computer, an RS-232 capable projector and the appropriate cable.

Description Start of command Projector network ID: nn=00~99, 00 for all projectors, or for single projector if there is only one projector RS232 command, please refer to list below Command parameter, refer to list below 1. p=* : to get default value 2. p=? : to get current value 3. p=n : to set to value n. Depend on the property of the command, it could contain many bytes and the positve, negaive sign. End of command

Description send "MENU" key message, and return success get default ECO state, and return min=0, max=1, default=0(ECO OFF), step=1 get default value of brightness, and return min=-50, max=50, default=0, step=1
[50,50,0,1] get current state of projection, and return 2, REAR [2] [PAS] [PAS] [FAL]
projection increase white peaking value by one step, and return success set tint to 10, and return success set horizontal position to 999, and return failure(exceed the available range)
Error Conditions Not all commands are supported for all projectors. If an unsupported command is issued, the command will be ignored. If a command is received that is not understood, a [FAL] character will be returned indicating the command was not understood.
