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.
Examples: Brightness Command Brightness Command Decrement Commands Increment commands have the following format: (AAA-####) Examples: Brightness Command Brightness Command - denotes the CLI function - denotes Increment command #### - Is optional and denotes number of steps to be incremented (leading zeros are not necessary) - ends the CLI command (BRT+10)
CLI response Examples: (VOL?) Read the current range and value of the projector’s volume Returns: (0-127,64) (BRT?) Read the current range and value of the projector’s brightness...
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.
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.
SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS CONFIGURATION The following table describes the serial communication configuration that should be used when interfacing to the CLI via the serial port. Windows HyperTerminal or ProComm are two tools that can be used to send CLI commands across the serial port.
