Source Setups
Accessing Specic Source Setups
For ASCII messages described in this document, it is assumed you are adjusting the current
sourcesetup (channel)ratherthan adifferentspecicone. However,forseveral commands
(for example, ASR, Auto Source) you can direct the message to particular source setup. To do
this, insert an “S” and a source# (such as “S5”) before the parameter value—the source setup
numbercanbethoughtofasa“P0”parameterpriortotherstparameter,andcanbepreceded
with an optional space. For example:
(ASR S25 1) = Turn Auto-Source on for source setup #25
Use “S0” if your setting should be applied to all source setups (channels):
(ASR S0 1) = Turn Auto-Source on for all source setups
The “S” source setup function cannot be used for parameters affecting the projector as a whole
such as projector address.
Other Examples:
(ASR 1) = Turn ASR on for the current source setup
(ASR? S5) = What is the ASR status for source setup #5?
(ASR!S005 001) = ASR is on for source setup #5
(ASR? S7) = What is the ASR status for source setup #7?
(ERR 006 "ASR: Source does not exist") = Source setup #7 does not exist
(ASR?) = What is the ASR status for current source setup?
(ASR!000) = ASR is off for current source setup
Other Special Functions
To add functionality to a message, include one or more of the following special characters directly
after the start code “(“. If you add more than one, they can be in any order.
PARAMETER LIMITS: For single-parameter projector function codes, you can nd out the
current range of adjustment by adding the letter “M” to your request message. For example:
(LPL?M) What is the minimum and maximum lamp limit?
(LPL!M000 5000) Minimum lamp limit = 0, maximum lamp limit = 5000.
Ranges cannot be determined in this manner if the function has multiple parameters. Note also
that for text-based parameters, the “M” values represent the shortest and longest text strings
possible.
“AUTO” MODE: For certain projector functions, you can add the letter “A” to your set message if
you want software to choose the appropriate setting. A reply with an “A” indicates that the choice
was auto-selected. For example:
(STD A) Set the video standard to the most appropriate option.
(STD?) What is the current video standard?
(STD!A4) The video standard was automatically set to option 4 (such as
PAL-M).
Note that in these projectors, auto mode is supported only for selecting a video standard.
Although other functions (such as Motion Filter) may offer an “Auto” choice in its list of options,
a reply message from the projector will not include “A” to indicate that “Auto” it is selected—auto
is simply an option chosen like any other.
ADJUSTING A PIP IMAGE: When there are two images on screen, all messages affect the
primary image—that is, the larger “background” image. To direct a message to the PIP window
instead, add the letter “P” to your set message. For example:
(CON P47) In the PIP window, set contrast to 47.
(STD? P) What is the current video standard used in the PIP window?
