This command will be issued when the Power button is pressed 
and the Power button LED is off. This command will instruct the 
projector to power on. 

Note: We recommend inserting a 15-45 second wait after the 
power on serial command to allow the projector to completely 
power up before sending it more serial commands. (Time to wait 
will vary by projector)

This command will be issued when the Power button is pressed

projector to completely power off before sending it more serial 
commands. (Time to wait will vary by projector)

Just start typing in either Serial Output text box to enter ASCII characters. 
You will see the characters as you type. You cannot paste or copy text 
and you cannot delete more than 1 character at a time. In the below 
example I typed uppercase ABCDEFG 

 

.   Entering hexadecimal bytes into the serial strings 

Enter Hexadecimal bytes by typing the hexadecimal byte into the box
