RS232 Communication

RS232 control is not necessary for operation, but is a convenient way to control
Planar® QE 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
