Some commands have ranges, while others are absolute. If a number greater than the maximum range is
received, it is automatically set to the maximum number for that function. If a command is received that is
not understood, a "?" is returned. With absolute settings, "0" is off, 1-9999 is on.
Here are some other examples. Refer to the projector's command list for other commands.

NOTE
To assure the projector can process a command, wait 3 seconds before entering the next
command.
Error Conditions
Not all commands are supported for all projectors. If an unsupported command is issued, the command
will be ignored. If a command is received that is not understood, a ? character will be returned indicating
the command was not understood.

Most programs do not require a line feed after a command. Using a line feed, may cause the projector to
respond with a "?" indicating an invalid command. Commands should respond within seconds of entering
a command. If it does not, then there may issues with your connection, syntax or RS-232 software.
Limitations
The CLI cannot respond to commands coming in at a high-rate. Therefore, a delay must occur between
commands to ensure that the command gets properly executed. To assure the projector can process a
command, wait 3 seconds before entering the next command.
Some commands may only be valid when the projector is receiving an active computer or video signal. If
a setting is not an active feature in the menu, the CLI command will not work. For example: aspect ratio,
color and tint are functions that require an active source.
