RS232 Communication

RS232 control is not necessary for operation, but is a convenient way to control Planar
UltraRes L™ Series displays from a computer at a distance. Most things you can do with the
remote, you can do with RS232 commands. Plus, you can send inquiries to the displays and
find out the current settings and values. RS232 connections are made with standard straight-
through cables.
Note: Serial communication can occur over RS232, USB-B or LAN.
