Although you will send and read all messages as strings of ASCII characters, the
actual message travels as a sequence of bytes. Each character in a unicode message
requires 2 bytes, whereas the non-unicode requires only 1 byte. See example in
Figure 3.35 below, which illustrates a "picture mute is off" reply from the projector:
Figure 3.16. ASCII as Non-Unicode and Unicode
NOTE: Use of unicode or non-unicode in messages is auto-detected from the TPC.
All available ASCII message codes, including those with multiple parameters, are
listed and explained in Appendix B.
SETUP:
1. In the Admin:General menu, define which users (all, none or some) have
remote access rights.
2. Open an Ethernet socket to the TPC address (socket = 5000). By default, the
TPC address is 192.168.206.110. If you have additional TPCs, the installer
should have defined their addresses as 192.168.206.111, 192.168.206.112,
and so on, or used other addresses that are valid for your site.
3. Communication protocol should now be established (and can be confirmed
with a PNG? if desired).
NOTE: The socket will automatically close after 15 minutes of inactivity.
Program your controller to send a PNG? message every 5-10 minutes to
maintain communication and keep the socket functioning.
IMPORTANT: To prevent shutdown of the socket, program the controller to send a
PNG? every 5-10 minutes.
SHUTDOWN:
You must close the application and shut down the socket properly
before shutting down the controller.
Simple software controls and adjustments can help to optimize lamp performance and
ensure the brightest, most uniform image possible for the life of the lamp. These
controls are located in the Main, Advanced: Preferences, and Advanced: Lamp menus
on the TPC.
NOTE: For individual menu functions, see 3.5, Using the Touch Panel Controller.
