Note
The baud rate of this display should be set to match the baud rate of the PC.
Also, when the RS-232C cable is extended over a long distance, use a slower baud rate.

(1) Sending one command at a time:
STX (02 hex) ID (2 Byte) COMMAND (3 Byte or 6 Byte) ETX (03 hex)
(2) Sending numerical direct commands:
STX (02 hex) ID (2 Byte) COMMAND (3 Byte) ARGUMENT (3 Byte) ETX (03 hex)
ID, COMMAND, ARGUMENT are transmitted as ASCII characters.
From the display to a PC
(1) Echo back (Normal response)
Command received and returned but the ID is not returned.
STX (02 hex) COMMAND (3 Byte or 6 Byte) ETX (03 hex)
Received command is a numerical direct effect command and numerical data is returned:
STX (02 hex) COMMAND (3 Byte) ARGUMENT (3 Byte) ETX (03 hex)
(2) Error (Abnormal response)
Received command is a non-corresponding command, ‘ERR’ is returned:
STX (02 hex) ERR (3 Byte) ETX (03 hex)
Received command cannot be processed (when PON is received when the power is already ON, etc.), ‘XXX’ is
returned:
STX (02 hex) XXX (3 Byte) ETX (03 hex)
