AMX NI-700 programming to control a projector

Posts: 1
Hi there everyone im relatively new in the AMX programming world and we have an old solution that uses an ni-700 to turn a projector on with a ground t ground contact on input 1 and it will turn the projector off with a input on input 2 the old projector is on its last legs and we had different people do the programming years ago. Now though we purchased a new optoma zh-400 projector that has rs-232 capability i had even plugged it into my computer and was able to putty into it and send it the on command which is ~0000 1 and it worked but after doing some programming i havent been able to get the AMX device to power on the projector i was wondering if i have made any errors in my programming as i am new i can link it below
PROGRAM_NAME='Main-HH'

I think the commands to the projector should be terminated with a carriage return:
SEND_STRING dvMansionProj, "'~0000 1',$0d"Agreed - the PC application is likely applying carriage return and possibly line feed without user intervention.
