COMPUTER D-sub 9p (Female) RS-232C Straight cable The SERIAL terminal is used when the Display is controlled by a computer. The SERIAL terminal conforms to the RS-232C interface s pecification, so that the Display can be controlled by a computer which is connected to this terminal. The computer will require software which allows the sending a nd receiving of control data which satisfies the conditions given below. Use a computer application such as programming language software. Refer to the documentation for the computer application for details. Notes If multiple commands are transmitted, be sure to wait for the response for the first command to come from this unit before sending the next command. If an incorrect command is sent by mistake, this unit will send an ER401 command back to the computer. • • Basic format for control data The transmission of control data from the computer starts with an STX signal, followed by the command, the parameters, and lastly an ETX signal in that order. If there are no parameters, then the parameter signal does not need to be sent.
