RS232 Protocol
11.1. Introduction
This document describes the hardware interface spec and software protocols of RS232 interface
communication between ViewSonic Commercial TV / Digital Signage and PC or other control unit with
RS232 protocol.
The protocol contains three sections command:
• Set-Function
• Get-Function
Remote control pass-through mode
* In the document below, “PC” represents all the control units that can send or receive the RS232 protocol
command.

11.2.3. Command Message Reference
PC sends to Monitor command packet followed by “CR”. Every time PC sends control command to the
Monitor, the Monitor shall respond as follows:
1. If the message is received correctly it will send “+” (02Bh) followed by “CR” (00Dh)
2. If the message is received incorrectly it will send “-” (02Dh) followed by “CR” (00Dh)
