Remote communications commands
Commands are used to simulate menu operations and determine the settings of the projector, and use the following format:
• All commands consist of ASCII text strings starting with an asterisk and ending with an ASCII Carriage Return character
(code 13):
*command operator <value>
• The <command> string determines which setting the command will affect.
• Spaces are required before the operator and before the value.
• The <operator> string can take one of the following formats:
Operator type <operator> Description
Set
= <value>
Makes the setting take the <value>.
Get
?
Asks what the current value is.
The value is returned as an ASCII text string.
Execute Performs an action. No operator is entered for this type of command.
Examples
*aspect.ratio = 4
sets the aspect ratio to TheaterScope
*aspect.ratio ?
asks what is the current aspect ratio
*lens.stop
commands the projector to stop any lens movement that is currently in progress
*aspect.ratio=4
is an invalid instruction because of the missing spaces before the operator and the value
Notes
To set the default value of a
command, simply enter the
command name and
, without an
operator. For example
*aspect.
ratio
will set the aspect ratio to
0 (Source).
The projector response begins with
“ACK” , to show your input has been
acknowledged.
For example, if you send
*aspect.ratio = 1,
the projector will return
ACK aspect.ratio = 1
and will change the aspect ratio
accordingly.
If your command has not been
acknowledged, due to a syntax error
or another problem, the projector
response will be
NAK.
