Panasonic PT-D7700 Code

in NetLinx Studio
I have a project where I replaced 2 Barcos with the Panasonics. I have gotten them all connected up, addressed and switched into RS-422 mode coming off of a single AXC-232. I am able to send both commands but they just reply in errors. I am having a hard time understanding their manual though.

I have attached the code book because it is way easier then describing it. What I am currently sending it is:

$02, $01,';',QPW,$03.
It just sends back a string that is:
$02,$01,$FF,$03 (I can't quite remember exactly what it is but its really close to that. Basically the variable it is sending back is $FF.

Now in the Basic format, it says to send the STX AD (proj addy) ; command : prams etx. I am not sure though what the AD is. If I send an ascii 'AD' it doesn't respond at all to what string I send. I thought it may have been some Hex character, but I am not sure and haven't ever seen that.

Thanks for the help in advance!

    SEND_STRING dvProjector,"$02,'AD01;PON',$03"  //turn on
SEND_STRING dvProjector,"$02,'AD01;POF',$03"  //turn off

    Great projectors with a very useful protocol.

    Looks just like the Pioneer plasma on & off commands.

    A lot of plasma manufacturers seem to be building on a Pioneer chassis. It's a good chassis, so that's not a complaint :).

    Pioneer plasmas will soon be built on Panasonic chassis.

    Wow.. that was actually a relatively painless protocol.. Why can't more manufactures just make it somewhat logical.. Thanks for the help guys!!

    We use a lot of Panasonic Projectors and you can even get away with just this for the power commands.

    SEND_STRING dvPROJECTOR,"$02,'PON',$03" // Projector Power On
    SEND_STRING dvPROJECTOR,"$02,'POF',$03" // Projector Power Off


    But this is only if you are connecting 1 projector to the AMX serial port. If you dasiy chain the projectors and need addressing for each projector, then you need to address part of the string.
