ESC/VP Level 6 Serial Communication Manual (Abridged Edition) 5. COMMAND STRUCTURE • ECommands are expressed as hexadecimal codes. • All commands start with an ID code and end with a checksum. When an ESC/VP command which is sent from the computer is received by the projector, a reply is returned. However, the replies which are returned by the projector only indicate whether the initial command was received by the projector, and do not indicate whether the command was executed or not. Acquisition commands are sent in order to check the execution of a command. In addition, if the next command is sent before the reply to a previous command has been received from the projector, it may result in a communication error.
