TIPS
• “ERR”isreturnedwhenthereisnorelevantcommandor
when the command cannot be used in the current state of
the monitor.
• Ifcommunicationhasnotbeenestablishedforreasons
suchasabadconnectionbetweenthePCandmonitor,
nothingisreturned(notevenERR).
• “ERR”maybereturnedwhenacommandcannotbe
received correctly due to interference from the surrounding
environment.
Please ensure that the system or software retries the
command if this occurs.
• IfnomonitorhasbeenassignedthedesignatedIDnumber
(e.g.ifthecommandIDSL0002
is used, but no monitor
withIDnumber:2isfound),noresponseisreturned.
If execution of the command is taking some time

Whenthefollowingcommandsareused,“WAIT”isreturned.
Inthiscase,avaluewillbereturnedifyouwaitawhile.Donot
send any command during this period.
NoIDnumberisattachedtoWAITresponse.
• CommandswhichreturnWAIT:
1. Whenrepeatercontrolisused
2. WhenanIDSLorIDLKcommandisused
3. Whenoneofthefollowingcommandsisused:RSET,

Communication interval
• AfterOKorERRisreturned,youmustsendthefollowing
commands.
 Tosetatimeoutforthecommandresponse,specify10
seconds or longer.
Whenconnectingmultiplemonitorsinadaisychain,setthe
timeout to at least the product of the monitor’s position from
thecomputermultipliedby10seconds.
Example)3rdmonitorfromcomputer:30secondsorlonger.
• Provideanintervalof100msormorebetweenthe
command response and the transmission of the next
command.
VOLM0020
OK
INPS0001
WAIT
OK
Interval of 100 ms or more
TIPS
• WhenexecutingALLRESET,setthetimeoutperiodto30
seconds or longer.
• WhenturningthepoweronwhilethePOWERONDELAY
functionisinuse,setthetimeoutperiodtothePOWERON
DELAYperiod+10secondsorlonger.
Advanced operation
This section explains commands for daisy chain connection.
The basic communication procedure is the same as in the
“One-to-oneconnectionwithaPC”section.

ID numbers
YoucanassignauniqueIDnumbertoeachmonitor(see
page23).Thisallowsyoutocontrolaparticularmonitorina
daisy chain of monitors.
YoucanassignIDnumberseitherfromthemenuscreenor
fromthePCusingRS-232cable.

If monitors are connected as shown above, you can
execute commands like “Set the volume of the monitor with
ID4to20”.
WhendesignatingIDnumbersforasetofmonitorslinkedina
daisychain,youshouldbasicallyavoidanyduplicationofID
numbers.
IDnumbersdonothavetobeassignedinascendingorder
startingfromthePC.Theycanalsobeconnectedasshown
