8. Addressing Format command overview Addressing format command is used for operating multiple TV sets from one PC via RS232C control line. Addressing format command is defined one command/one line that starts with "A" and ends with carriage return (0x0D). When the TV receives carriage return (0x0D), the TV starts to decode. Address is added at the top of control command as follows. (Control command is defined as same as command without address.)

The TV can set its own address in hotel option menu. Address can be set in the range of "001" to "999" . Default address is "001". The TV clears the information of receiving buffer and the function is not executed when the following condition occurs. 1) When it takes more than one second until the TV receives carriage return since it has received the first data "C" and /or 2) When LF (0x0A) or EOF (0x1A) is received. 8.2 Functional execution command with address 8.2.1 Format 1) PC issues a command in format as below.
