CONTROL
ABOUT EXTERNAL CONTROL
This multi-format monitor has two external control terminals. One is the MAKE terminal, which controls the monitor by connecting
the terminals with many functions to the ground (GND) terminal. The other is the RS-232C terminal, which allows the monitor to
be controlled by a PC via serial communication.
Control priority is in the following order; the MAKE terminal > the RS-232C terminal > the buttons on the front panel.
