• If entering a negative number, there must be a space between the code/subcode, and the value. For 
example, (CRM3) and (CRM 3) can both be used when the number is positive. (CRM -2) is acceptable, 
but (CRM-2) is not.
• Data in set messages to the projector do not require padding with zeros. 
• Within each message, multiple parameters of data must be separated by one “space” character. 
• Text parameters such as...

C.2.3 What is Actually Sent in a Message 
Although you will send and read messages as strings of ASCII characters, the actual message travels as a 
sequence of bytes. Each character in this sequence requires 1 byte. The example below illustrates a “lamp limit 
is 2000 hours” reply from the projector. 
C.2.4 Maximizing Message Integrity
For additional reassurance and/or maximum message integrity, you can insert 1 or 2...

The checksum is the low order byte of the sum of the ASCII values of all characters between the “(“and the 
beginning of the checksum, but not including either. It does include the space in front of the checksum. 
Calculate the checksum for the above “set contrast to 64” command as follows: 
CHECKSUM EXAMPLE = & + c + o + n + 6 + 4 + ‘space’ 
= 26h+63h +6Fh +6E h +36h +$34h +$20h 
= 01F0h
= F0h when only the low byte...

C.2.7 Network Operation
Up to 1000 projectors can be linked together in a chain with the ‘OUT’ port on one connected to the ‘IN’ port 
on the next. A controller connected to the ‘IN’ port on the first projector can control them all, either by 
broadcasting messages which have no address and are thus seen by all projectors, or by directing messages to 
specific projector addresses. 
To work with a specific projector...
