Command 1
Together with Command 2, this is a number that distinguishes the
various commands.
For ACK, when bit 2 and bit 3 are both “1”, reception of a sup-
ported command or data is indicated. When bit 2 is “0”, reception
of an unsupported command or data is indicated.
Bit 0 and bit 1 should be set as described below.

Check Sum (CKS), Error Processing, and ACK
1)Checks that received data incorporates both the following
checksum and RS-232C (odd) parity.
The checksum comprises the following aspects of one transmit-
ted or received frame: Command 1, Unit 1 and 2, Command 2,
data length, and the lower order 8 bits of the total data.
2)Error Processing
(1) When the communications interval is 4 ms or greater, the
arrival of a subsequent Command 1 will be recognized. If
meaningful data cannot be discerned at this time, that data
will not be recognized.
(2) When the receive data error, checksum error, and the re-
ceive data could not all be taken in, ACK is not returned.
3)Returning an ACK
When command processing exceeds 0.5 seconds following
command reception, an ACK1 for which bit 3 of Command 1
has been set to “0” (during command processing) is returned
every 0.5 seconds until command processing is completed.
When command processing is completed, an ACK2 for which
bit 3 of Command 1 has been set to “1” (at the end of command
processing) is returned every 0.5 seconds until command pro-
cessing is completed. Bit 1 of Command 1 is set to 0 ; when the
UA2 setting is FFH, it is possible to simultaneously operate all
sets connected in cascade and as a result, ACK is not returned.
Communications Flow
When various commands are sent from a personal computer (PC)
or other external equipment, the display is always ready to receive
them.
Note that resending of the command is recommended when an
ACK is not returned from the display within 1.5 seconds.

* When normally selecting one screen, ID or multiple
screen(VIDEO WALL), set bit 0 and bit 1 of Command 1.
Example: CFH for powering on
(Command 1)
CFH→ 1111 1111 (CFH): At time of regular use
1111 1110 (CEH): Not used
1111 1101 (CDH): At time of set ID selection
1111 1100 (CCH): When multiple screens are selected
The same goes for 0FH, 4FH, 8FH and DFH other than Command
1.
Unit ID 1 and Unit ID 2
1)Unit ID1: Sets a number corresponding to the various sets ID (1
through 4) when multiple screens are selected, and to 1 through
256 at the time of set ID selection. “00H” must be output when
the ID is not set.
2)Unit ID2: Makes settings on the occasion of simultaneously
operating all sets connected in cascade at the time of multiple
screen mode and at the time of set ID selection.
Selection of all sets: FFH
At time of regular setting: 00H
Command 2
Together with Command 1, this is a number that distinguishes the
various commands.
