SERIAL Terminals connection
Notes:
• Use the RS-232C straight cable to connect the computer to the Plasma Display.
• The computer shown is for example purposes only.
• Additional equipment and cables shown are not supplied with this set.
The SERIAL terminal conforms to the RS-232C interface
speci
fi
cation, so that the Plasma Display can be controlled
by a computer which is connected to this terminal.
The computer will require software which allows the
sending and 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.
The SERIAL terminal is used when the Plasma Display is controlled by a computer.
Pin layout for SERIAL Terminal
Basic format for control data
The transmission of control data from the computer
starts with a 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.

Notes:
• If multiple commands are transmitted, be sure to wait for
the response for the
fi
rst 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.
• S1A and S1B of Command IMS are available only when
a dual input terminal board is attached.
