System Operation Commands - Barco RLM W8 Service Manual

RS-232 Communication
RS-232 Operation Executive Command
Interface and Requirements
The RS-232 Commands use only ASCII characters which can be entered using a typical terminal
emulator like Windows HyperTerminal with the following setting:
Bits per second: 38400
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None
Note that each input character will be echoed on the terminal by MCU and there is no need to set the
local echo "ON" with the terminal setting.

System Operation commands

The Operation commands tell the projector what to do. All commands start with 2 letters: "op"
for operations commands, and a space [SP] then following a control command then finally the value
wants to read, set, increase or decrease. All commands must end with a carriage return (ASCII hex
0D), shown as [CR] below. The syntax for operations commands is as follows:
op[SP]<operation command>[SP]<Setting Value>[CR]
For all but Execute functions the response from the projector will be the command and "=
<value>" where <value> is the current value or "NA" if the value is not available. For Execute
functions the response will be the same command. All responses will be in CAPS. Please refer to
the following table for command list and examples:
