11ConnectionsSERIAL Terminals connectionNotes:• Use the RS-232C cable to connect the computer to the LCD 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 interface specification, so that the LCD Display can be controlled by acomputer which is connected to this terminal.The computer will require software which allows the sending and receiving of control data which satisfies the conditionsgiven below. 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 LCD 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 towait for the response for the first command to comefrom this unit before sending the next command.• If an incorrect command is sent by mistake, thisunit will send an “ER401” command back to thecomputer.With the power off, this display responds to PON commandonly.98765321 4SERIALPin layout for RS-232CCOMPUTERRS-232CStraight cableD-sub 9pFerrite core(large size)(supplied)Installing the ferrite core(Large size)OpenStart(02h)3-charactercommand (3 bytes)Colon Parameter(s)(1 - 5 bytes)End(03h)STX C1 C2 C3 P1 P2 P3 P4: P5 ETXCommandCommandPONPOFAVLAMTIMSDAMControl detailsPower ONPower OFFVolume 00 - 63Audio MUTE OFFAudio MUTE ONInput select (toggle)Slot1 inputSlot2 inputPC inputScreen mode select (toggle)NORMAL (4 : 3)ZOOMFULLJUSTPanasonic AUTOParameterNoneNone**01NoneSL1SL2PC1NoneNORMZOOMFULLJUSTSELFSignal levelSynchronization methodBaud rateParityCharacter lengthStop bitFlow controlRS-232C compliantAsynchronous9600 bpsNone8 bits1 bit-234567891RS-232C Conversion cableD-sub 9-pin female DetailsR X DT X DGND• Non useShorted• NCLess than3" 15 /16(10 cm)
