Use a computer application such as programming language software. Refer to the documentation for thecomputer application for details.The SERIAL terminal is used when the Plasma Display is controlled by a computer.Communication parametersBasic format for control dataThe transmission of control data from the computerstarts with a STX signal, followed by the command,the parameters, and lastly an ETX signal in that order.If there are no parameters, then the parameter signaldoes not need to be sent.Notes:• If multiple commands are transmitted, be sure to waitfor the response for the first command to come fromthis unit before sending the next command.• If an incorrect command is sent by mistake, this unit willsend an “ER401” command back to the computer.• SL1A, SL1B, SL2A and SL2B of Command IMS areavailable only when a dual input terminal board isattached. With the power off, this display responds to PON command only.Pin layout for SERIAL TerminalCOMPUTERRS-232C Straight cableD-sub 9pStart(02h)3-charactercommand (3 bytes)Colon Parameter(s)(1 - 5 bytes)End(03h)STX C1 C2 C3 P1 P2 P3 P4: P5 ETXCommand
