ETX.
Parameters can be added as necessary.
Attention
z
The projector cannot receive any command for 10 seconds after the lamp is switched on. Wait 10 seconds before sending
a command.
z
If sending multiple commands, check that a response has been received from the projector for one command before
sending the next.
z
When a command which does not require parameters to be sent, a colon (:) is not required.
Note
