Anyone have an NEC LCD5220 Monitor Module

Has anyone written a Duet or NetLinx control module for the NEC LCD5220-AV LCD monitor? I've reached a bit of a road block writing a NetLinx one because the manual is horrible on telling you which command type each command in the appendix is!

Anyone else tried/succeeded in writing this??

Thanks

    Not sure what manual you have, but I got this one from NEC. The only controls I have to do with NEC devices are turn them on or off and switch inputs. Other things, like volume ramping, I can't really help too much. When I was having NEC issues, I found this code on the forums. Unfortunatly I don't remember the original author, so I can't properly cite the reference. It is for older NEC models, but I found it helpful with formatting. Hope this helps...

    Thanks static_attic, but that is actually the command set for the NEC plasma monitors, not the LCD monitors which is, unfortunately, entirely different. I've attached the external control PDF that NEC provides for RS232 control of the LCD monitors.

    The smaller 40" and 46" LCD monitors include a list of basic controls for power on/off, and input control which will probably work with the larger 52" and 65" models, but I haven't had an opportunity yet to test this method. However these commands do not allow for full control of brightness, contrast, tint, etc.

    If anyone has worked with NEC's advanced command set like this, my main question still centers around how NEC has classified the commands so that I use the correct header.....

    Thanks!

    sweet structure, helped alot.

    @ staticattic:
    was done by me long time ago :cool:

    @ William_Huhn:
    if the manual you have attached is for the display model you have on the desk, the routines should work, as by the manual, the commands are the same. (check end of page 5 against the comment at the end of the code).

    But I currently have a customer request about a NEC P701, which also seems to have the above protocol by documentation, but doesn't react to any of that strings...

    Just a follow up to this. The NECLCD6520AVT module does work for the 5220.

    Yeah, seems that a lot of LCDs will work with this 6520 module.

    Still the question if it also does with the P701....
