3.85  lPC
lamp ChangedlPC  laMP  ChangeD 
Use LPC to record a new lamp serial number (8 characters max.) in projector memory. This will 
automatically reset the projector’s lamp timer so that it begins to log time for the new lamp. 
lPh  laMP  hoURs of Use 
Use	the	request	LPH	to	find	out	the	number	of	hours	logged	on	the	current	lamp.
lPI  laMP  InTensITY  
Use  LPI  to  specify  a  desired  light  intensity  setting  (0-9999  for  any  model)  for  the  lamp,  and 
automatically put the lamp into the “Intensity” mode also known as\
 Lamp Tracking. 
lPl   laMP  lIMIT 
Use  LPL  to  specify  the  number  of  hours  the  lamp  can  operate  within  the  projector  before  a 
warning  message  appears  telling  the  user  that  the  lamp  limit  has  expired  and  the  lamp  needs 
replacement	 (System	Warning	 also	given:	 LEDs	flash).	 The	range	 varies	 with	projector—do	 not	
set beyond the expected life for the type of lamp installed. 
lPM  laMP  MoDe 
Use  LPM  to  control  how  you  run  the  lamp  (0=max  brightness,  1=maintain  intensity  setting 
for  models  with  Lamp  Tracking,  2=maintain  power  setting).  If  you  choose  constant  intensity 
or  constant  brightness,  you  must  also  specify  the  desired  level  using  the  corresponding  LPI 
(intensity) or LPP (power) command. See LPI and LPP. 
lPP  laMP  PoWeR 
Use LPP to set the desired lamp power level (in watts—range depends on the projector model), 
and automatically put the lamp into the “Power” mode. 
lPs  laMP  sTaTUs 
Use	the	read-only	request	LPS	to	find	out	the	status	of	the	current	lamp(s):	
  0 = Good lamp
  1 = Lamp fan has failed (NOTE: in dual lamp models, Fan 8 cools Lamp 1,\
 and Fan  
        10 cools Lamp 2)
  2 = Lamp can’t ignite
  3 = Lamp turned off unexpectedly
  4 = Lamp interlock problem
  5 = Color wheel failure (NOTE: dual lamp models only)
  6 = Lamp compartment too hot (NOTE: dual lamp models only)
  7 = Driver Vcc too low (NOTE: dual lamp models only)
  8 = Lamp not installed (NOTE: dual lamp models only)
  9 = Operation error (NOTE: dual lamp models only) 
l Vo  lens VeRTICal offseT 
The LVO adjusts vertical offset on projectors having a motorized lens mount, and requires keypad 
emulation. 
examples:
  (LVO K3)   Move the image down 
  (LVO K2)  
Move the image up 
  (LVO K0)   Stop vertical movement (without this, lens movement will continue 

 
      until it reaches the end stop).

To “nudge” the image down a minimum distance, script in a delay between (LVO K3) and (LVO 
K0).	Depending	on	your	application,	a	delay	of	at	least	20-30	milliseconds	may	be	sufficient.	
MfT MenU fonT 
Use MFT to choose whether menu font size is normal (0) or large (1). 
MlK soURCe MeMoRY loCK 
Use	 MLK	 to	lock	 (1)	or	unlock	 (0)	a	specific	 source	setup.	See	also	 2.5,	Accessing	 Specific	
Source Setups. 
MnU MenU sT aTUs 
The MNU command has two uses. One is to get the current status of the menus and customize 
the	menu	structure	and	the	other	is	to	define	and	activate	a	custom	menu.	
When using serial commands to operate the menu, likely don’t want the menu to appear on the 
screen. To prevent the menu from appearing on the screen while using serial commands, use the 
OSD command. In addition, you may want to disable the keypads using the \
KEN command. 
Some  menus  automatically  change  particular  settings  to  make  adjustments  easier.  Depending 
on the context, you may also need to send: 
  ACE x     to enable or disable Automatic Color Enables 
  MNU 3 x   to enable or disable Automatic Test Pattern selection
Parameter Value Description
P1  0-3  0=presentation level
1=main menu
2=sub menu
3=enable or disable automatic test patterns 
P2  When P1=2, #=0-9 When P1=3, #=0-1, to 
enable or disable automatic 
test patterns  #= the number of the submenu you wish to go to
#=0, restore normal operation
#=1, disable automatic test pattern 
MNU can also be used to create a custom menu. For example, (MNU “My Menu” “BRT” “CON” 
“PIP”),  produces  a  custom  menu  called  “My  menu”  consisting  of  the  Brightness,  Contrast,  and 
Picture in Picture Enable controls. 
You can combine this with a RTE FUNC key event to make the custom menu available from a 
keypad. For example, (RTE F 3 “(MNU “My Menu” “BRT” “CON” “PIP”)”), will pop up the custom 
menu when the FUNC-3 key is pressed. 
noTe:  this  custom  menu  is  not  saved  anywhere  –  as  soon  as  you  exit  from  it,  the  menu  no 
longer  exists  and  when  you  want  to  display  it  again  you  must  send  the  MNU  command,  with 
all the controls, again. It is expected that this command will be used in conjunction with a  RTE 
FUNC key event to have the custom menu available from a keypad.

including cool-down modes. 
PlK  PaRaMeTeR loCKoUT 
Use PLK to specify which menu options are to be locked from the user (note: a lockout can still 
be accessed via ASCII command). In a PLK message, P1 represents the corresponding function 
code (e.g., CNT, CTM, etc.) you wish to lock or unlock. Where several related options—such as 
blanking  controls—share  a  single  lockout,  locking  or  unlocking  any  one  of  the  options  toggles 
the full lockout status. 
To lock/unlock all options, omit any P1 function code from your PLK set m\
essage. 
  examples:
  (PLK “CON” 1)  Lock the “Contrast” control 
  (PLK 1)     Lock all possible options 
  (PLK “BRT” 0)   Unlock the “Brightness” control

Use PPS to swap the picture-in-picture window with the main window. PPS is a toggle command 
with no parameters.

Use	 PSW	 to	find	 out	the	most	 recently	 defined	password	 for	accessing	 the	service	 menu,	or	
to	 define 	an	 alternative	 service	password	 (range	=	0-32768).	 Note	that	defining	 an	alternative	
PSW  simply  adds  a  password  to  projector  memory  so  that  you  may  use  either  the  original 
factory-defined	 Wolf	Cinema	 password	 (which	is	always	 valid)	or this new password. Because 
(PSW?)	 will	find	 only	 the	most	 recently	 defined	password,	 the	factory-defined	 password	cannot	
be retrieved in this manner once you have created an alternative password. Use PWE to enable/
disable passwords as described below.

depends on the incoming signal, with a higher frequency source having ½ the range of a lower 
frequency source.

Use RBL to blank the right edge of the image (0-1000). The amount of blanking feasible depends 
on the incoming source data.

Allows	 arbitrary	 serial	data	to	be	 sent	 out	a	specified	 port	and	the	data	 can	also	 be	read	 from	that	
port. It is intended to be used in conjunction with the RTE commands to allow a single event to 
control other equipment connected to the projector. 
Before	 being	used,	a	port	 must	 be	configured.	 After	configuration,	 the	port	 cannot	 be	used	 for	
standard	 Wolf	Cinema	 protocol	 commands	 until	that

Real Time eventsRTe  Real TIMe eVenTs 
Use RTE to specify actions to be initiated at a certain point in time or by an external stimulus. This 
action  can be  anything  supported  in the projector, as long  as the action  itself is not embedded 
within  an  RTE  command  (such  as  GIO  input  simulation  and  others).  There  are  four  types  of 
RTEs: 
  T = Timed event 
  D = Scheduled/delayed single event 
  G = GPIO port change 
  S = System Status Change 
  F = FUNC key event

If P1 = G or g Description
P1 = G or g  GPIO port change. This is a real-time I/O event. 
P2 = I/O bit  1-255, depending on hardware (in the case of masking, this 
represents the starting pin number). 
P3 = Level  H or h = high (transition to active state) 
L or l = low 
“LHxxxHLx” combines multiple inputs and trigger occurs when 
all conditions are met.

defines	the	state.	If	this	is	
omitted, assume the event will 
fire	on	any	system	event	of	this	
type (for example, all signal 
input changes rather than a 
specific	one)
If P1 = F or f Description Meaning
P1 = F or f  FUNC key event  This is a real-time event that 
triggers a command when the 
specified	FUNC	#	is	pressed.
P2 = Number key 1-5, 7-9 The number to trigger from.
If P1 = X or x Description Meaning
P1 = X or x System event This deletes a stored event.
P2 = Target * = Delete all events
d = Delete all pending events 
waiting because of a DLY 
command.
