This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area may
cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be responsible for correcting any interference.

1.1 Communication Protocol
Communication protocol summary
Like every communication method the serial communication uses a particular protocol (ANSI) which must be respected in order to
allow communication to take place, following table gives a summary of the predefined communication terms.
Start byte \xfe
Projector address
Command byte(s)
Data bytes
1
Checksum byte
Stop byte \xff
ANSI
American National standards Institute
Start byte
The “Start byte” informs the projector (in case of transmission) or the computer (in case of reception) that a new data transfer will
take place
Projector address
The “projector address” defines the address of the computer the projector wants to talk to (in case of transmission) or the address
of the projector that answers (in case of
reception).
The maximum number of projectors th
at can b e addressed by one computer is 256.
Comman d byte(s)
There is at least one command byte to define the action to be performed. Commands that are not often used or complex commands
can take more than one byte. All command bytes that are sent by the computer to get information out of the projector are repeated
in the answer-data-transf
er of the projector.
Data bytes (optional)
Whether the command bytes are followed by one or more data bytes depends on the contents of the command bytes.
Data which contains more than one byte is called a word and can also be signed or unsigned.see "Data words", page 4
Some com mands do n ot require a data field(s)
Checksum byte
The “Checksum byte” is used to detect errors during transmission or reception
Checksum byte = (projectoraddress + command bytes + Data bytes) Modulo \x100
Stop byte
The “Stop byte” informs
the projector (in case of transmission) or the computer (in case of reception) that the data transfer is complete
and that the interpretation of the command and data bytes can start.
Acknowledge (ACK)
If the communication link and if the sent commands can be interpreted by the projector an “ACK command is sent back. In case the
commands cannot be interpreted a NACK” command is sent back.

End of process (EOP)
When the end of process command is activated, an EOP is send after the ACK command to signify the completion of the process.
for more in fo rmat ion about this, see the EOP command.
Note
Any command byte, data byte or checksum byte th at equals \x80, \xfe, \xff hastobeconverted!
1. Transmission
- instead of \x80, send \x80 followed by \x00
- instead of \xfe, send \x80 followed by \x7e
- instead of \xff, send \x80 followed by \x7f
2. Reception
- replace \x80 followed by \x00 with \x80
- replace \x80 followed by \x7e with \xfe
- replace \x80 followed by \x7f with \xff

1.2 Data words
msb
The most s ignificant byte, is the byte with the greatest weight (value).
lsb
The less significant byte, is the byte with the smallest weight (value).
Description
A word contains more than one byte, the first byte is the msb, the last byte is the lsb.
Examples of data words
The projector runtime parameter is described using an unsigned double word where 2 bytes (msb ...lsb) represent the value of
the runtime in seconds.see "Projectors runtime, Read", page 18
How to calculate the value of a word ?
Lets take the example of a double word returned by the p roject or runtime, read” commando.
returned data = Data[0]....Data[3]
value = Data[0]*256
3
+ Data[1]*256
2
+ Data[2]*256 + Data[3].

1.3 Communication settings
Baud rate
Defines the speed of the data transfer. The baud rate can be set using the menu structure.
Consult the Owners manual of the projector on how to change the baud rate setting.
Data Bits
Eight data bits are used for each character of the data transfer.
Parity
There is no parity bit used to perform error checking.
Stop Bits
One stop bit is used to define the end of a character.

1.5 Syntax
Characters
In this manual, all characters are expressed using the C- language syntax:
decimal values ddd
2
hexadecimal values \xhh
3
The characters that can be use d are
For text fields: "ABCDEFGHIJK LMNO PQ RST UVW XYZ 01234 56789+-/&@ #_:;ab cdefgh ijklmn op qrstuvwxyz”
For filenames: "? *ABC DEFG HIJK LMNOPQRSTUV
WXYZabcdefghijklmnop qrstuvw xyz0123456789_ -"
Negati ve values /numbers
The 2s complement number system is use
d to express negative numbers
Pascal- language string
A Pascal-language string consists of one or more characters. The first character of the string contains the length of the string.
Therefore, a Pascal-language string is limited to 255 characters.

C-language string
A C-language string consists of one or more characters. The last character of the string is always the NULL character \x00.There-
fore, the length of a C-language string is determined by the position of the NULL character..

standard file
Predefined file stored in read-only memory
custom file
File created by the user and stored in non-volatile read write memory
Filename
A filename is specified as a C-language string. This string has to follow some rules:
x x x x x x x x . y z z
NULL
1. length string = 12
2. x = character of the base name formed by max 8 characters
3. y = kind of file (= 1 character)
’s’
standard file
’c’
custom file
4. z = file index (= 2 characters: 0..9)
zz specifies the location in memory where the file is stored.
- for standard files: zz = 00...maximum standard files
- for custom files: zz = 00...63 where 00 is reserved for the file ’none .c00’ (file which is loaded when no signal is applied)
5. yzz is a unique combination. In other words, no two files can exist with the same extension yzz.
To specify m ore than one file you can use the question mark (?) and (*) wildcard character for x, y an d z (or
any other character).
?: This wildc ard character can represent any possible character on a p articular location.
* : This wildcard cha racter can represent any possible character(s) followin g the wildcard’s position in the
string.
