Panasonic Projectors

Nightcrawler

Hi,

I have a Panasonic PT-5500E projector and I'm trying to get some life out of it NI4000 box. At present the box runs two NEC projector but when I try to get the Panasonic on there - I'm getting a bit stuck. Mainly the syntax I think.

Does anyone know how a command string should look for one of these projectors ??

I so far have SEND_STRING Projector1,"'QPW'" I don't know if this is correct, I am getting a RX but no TX. The cables have been tested and working and the projector baud rates are correct.

Thanks

I believe that the string to poll for the power would be:

SEND_STRING Projector1,"$02,'ADZZ;QPW',$03"

without the ADZZ;

all commands start with $02 and end with $03, power on = "$02,'PON',$03"

Thanks all - I tried it with ADZZ and it works - i'll also try it wihtout tomorrow. I had tried the non ADZZ command this morning. Of course - tonight I decided to check the cable and it seems its a straight through not a crossover for the Panasonic unlike my other devices.. tut tut Industry Standards come on....

Thanks

isn't the d-sub connector on the panasonic projector female, thus meaning the cable would be female->male, thus meaning it's a straight cable?
