							Basic format
Transmission from the computer begins with STX, then the command, parameter, and ETX are sent in this order. Add 
parameters according to the details of control.
STXAD I1I2 ;C1C2 C3 : P1 P2Pn ETX
When sending commands without parameters, a colon (:) is not necessary .* 
Basic format (with sub command)

Sub command (5 bytes) Operation (1 byte)
“=” (Value specified using parameter is set)Parameter (6 bytes)*
Symbol “+” or “
-” (1 byte) and set value or ad
-
justment value (5 bytes)
When transmitting a command which does not need a parameter, the operation (E) and parameter are not necessary.* 
Attention
If a command is transmitted after the lamp starts illuminating, there ma\
y be a delay in response or the command may not be  f
executed. Try sending or receiving any command after 60 seconds.
When transmitting multiple commands, be sure to wait until 0.5 seconds h\
as elapsed after receiving the response from the  f
projector before sending the next command. When transmitting a command which does not need a parameter , a colon (:) is 
not necessary.
Note
If a command cannot be executed, the “ER401” response is sent from the projector to the computer. f
If an invalid parameter is sent, the “ER402” response is sent from the projector to the computer. f
ID transmission in RS-232C supports ZZ (ALL) and 01 to 64, as well as 0A to 0Z groups. f
If a command is sent with a specified ID, a response will be sent to the computer only in the following cases.  f
- It matches the projector ID. 
- [PROJECTOR ID] (Æpage 66) is set to [ALL].
STX and ETX are character codes. STX shown in hexadecimal is 02, and ETX shown in hexadecimal is 03. f

Play may also be compliant if input terminals are written in the format \
list. Where Plug and Play is unmarked and nothing is 
written in the format list, difficulties in projecting image may occur even when computer and projector appear to have same

Note
The number of display dots is 1 280 x 800 for the PT-VW340Z and 1 024 x 768 for the PT-VX410Z.   f
A signal with a different resolution will be projected after converting the resolution to m\
atch the projector display.
“i” added to the resolution value indicates an interlaced signal. f
When interlaced signals are connected, flicker may occur on the projected image. f
