1 COMMAND LINE INTERFACE
1.1.1 Purpose
This specification defines the serial command line streams for controlling an InFocus projector through
the RS232 connector to the projector. These commands are intended to provide a simple set of controls
to the projector through what InFocus calls the Command Line Interface (CLI). The CLI is designed for
use by what the industry commonly calls boardroom controllers. The CLI will accept commands via
RS232 to control the necessary features used by most boardroom controllers. This CLI language uses
a simple human readable protocol to help facilitate the installers' time necessary to setup or diagnose a
problem with boardroom control installations. However, the CLI is not a guaranteed delivery system.

1.1.2 Message Format

As commonly used in math notation, everything is evaluated in the parenthesis first, as the parentheses
are designed to group things together. This same parenthesis nomenclature is used to group a
command and its data together (nested parenthesis are not supported). All commands are three alpha
characters followed by the request. The request can be a "?" symbol that signifies a read request, or a
numerical number represented by 1 to 4 ASCII digits, that signifies a write request. Not all commands
support reading and writing. The command table indicates the commands and requests that are
supported. There are also support commands available on non CLI format.

1.1.3 Write Commands

Write commands have the following format:
(AAA####)
Some functions have ranges for settings while others are Boolean. Settings with ranges range from
zero to a maximum number. If a number greater than the maximum is received, it is automatically
limited to the maximum number for that function. IT IS SUGGESTED THAT EACH FUNCTION BE
QUERIED FOR ITS RANGE WITH A READ COMMAND BEFORE ISSUING A WRITE COMMAND.
Boolean settings consider 0 as off and 1-9999 as on. The only exception is the Power command. The
only valid write values that will be accepted will be '0' for turning the power off and '1' for turning the
power on.
Examples:
Brightness Command
Volume Command
Freeze Command

  • Page 4: Error Handling

    Examples: (123?) (VOL ?) Not all settings are readable. If an attempt is made to read from a write-only setting, the projector will return a question mark. Example: (RST?) A more descriptive error message on the errors can then be queried with the (ERR?) command.

  • Page 5: Help Commands

    The CLI cannot respond to commands coming in at a high rate. Therefore, a delay must occur between commands to ensure that the command is properly executed before the next one is received. The recommended approach for interfacing to the projector is: Read: 1.
