(refer to “Operating Instructions, Network Operations”)Basic format for control dataThe transmission of control data from the computer starts witha STX signal, followed by the command, the parameters, andlastly an ETX signal in that order. If there are no parameters,then the parameter signal does not need to be sent.Start(02h)3-charactercommand (3 bytes)Colon Parameter(s)(1 - 5 bytes)End(03h)STX C1 C2 C3 P1 P2 P3 P4: P5 ETXNotes:• If multiple commands are transmitted, be sure to wait forthe response for the rst command to come from this unitbefore sending the next command.• If an incorrect command is sent by mistake, this unit willsend an “ER401” command back to the computer.• S1A and S1B of Command IMS are available only when adual input terminal board is attached.• Consult an Authorized Service Center for detail instructionson command usage.Pin layout for SERIAL TerminalCommandCommand Parameter Control detailsPON None Power ONPOF None Power OFFAVL ** Volume 00 - 63AMT 0 Audio MUTE OFF1 Audio MUTE ONIMS NoneSL1S1AS1BVD1YP1HM1DV1PC1NW1Input select (toggle)SLOT input (SLOT INPUT)SLOT input (SLOT INPUT A)SLOT input (SLOT INPUT B)VIDEO input (VIDEO)COMPONENT/RGB IN input(COMPONENT)HDMI input (HDMI)DVI-D IN input (DVI)PC IN input (PC)Network input (NETWORK)DAM NoneZOOMFULLJUSTNORMSJSTSNOMSFULZOM2Screen mode select (toggle)ZOOM (For Video/SD/PC signal)FULLJUST (For Video/SD signal)4:3 (For Video/SD/PC signal)JUST (For HD signal)4:3 (For HD signal)H-FILL (For HD signal)ZOOM (For HD signal)With the power off, this display responds to PON command only.Communication parametersSignal level RS-232C compliantSynchronization method AsynchronousBaud rate 9600 bpsParity NoneCharacter length 8 bitsStop bit 1 bitFlow control -Signal names for D-sub 9P connectorPin No. Details2 R X D3 T X D5 GND4 • 6 Non use78 (Shorted in this set)1 • 9 NCThese signal names are those of computer specications.The SERIAL terminal conforms to the RS-232C interfacespecication, so that the Plasma Display can be controlledby a computer which is connected to this terminal.The computer will require software which allows the sendingand receiving of control data which satises the conditionsgiven below.
