SERIAL6 7 8 91 3 4 5210SERIAL Terminals connectionNotes:• Use the RS-232C straight cable to connect the computer to the Plasma Display.• The computer shown is for example purposes only.• Additional equipment and cables shown are not supplied with this set.The SERIAL terminal conforms to the RS-232C interfacespecifi cation, so that the Plasma Display can be controlledby a computer which is connected to this terminal.The computer will require software which allows thesending and receiving of control data which satisfiesthe conditions given below. Use a computer applicationsuch as programming language software. Refer to thedocumentation for the computer application for details.The SERIAL terminal is used when the Plasma Display is controlled by a computer.Pin layout for SERIAL TerminalBasic format for control dataThe transmission of control data from the computerstarts with a STX signal, followed by the command, theparameters, and lastly an ETX signal in that order. If thereare no parameters, then the parameter signal does notneed to be sent.STX C1 C2 C3 P1 P2 P3 P4: P5 ETXStart(02h)3-charactercommand (3 bytes)Colon Parameter(s)(1 - 5 bytes)End(03h)Notes:• If multiple commands are transmitted, be sure to wait forthe response for the first 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.• SL1A, SL1B, SL2A and SL2B of Command IMS areavailable only when a dual input terminal board isattached.COMPUTERRS-232C Straight cableD-sub 9pCommunication 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 specifications.ConnectionsCommandCommand Parameter Control detailsPON None Power ONPOF None Power OFFAVL ** Volume 00 - 63AMT 0 Audio MUTE OFF1 Audio MUTE ONIMS NoneSL1SL2SL3PC1SL1ASL1BSL2ASL2BInput select (toggle)Slot1 inputSlot2 inputSlot3 inputPC inputSlot1 input (INPUT1A)Slot1 input (INPUT1B)Slot2 input (INPUT2A)Slot2 input (INPUT2B)DAM NoneZOOMFULLJUSTNORMSELFZOM2ZOM3SJSTSNOMSFUL14:9Screen mode select (toggle)Zoom1 (For Video/SD/PC signal)16:9Just (For Video/SD signal)4:3 (For Video/SD/PC signal)Panasonic Auto (For Video singal)Zoom2 (For HD signal)Zoom3 (For HD signal)Just (For HD signal)4:3 (For HD signal)4:3 Full (For HD signal)14:9With the power off, this display responds to PON commandonly.(Male)(Female)Note: To use serial control for this unit, make sure to set the “Control I/F Select” in the “Network Setup” menu to“RS-232C”.
