RS-232C Adjustment RS-232C Adjustment This display has an RS-232C terminal. It is possible to use a PC to make various adjustments and settings. 1 About the RS-232C Adjustment Adjustments using the RS-232C: • The adjustments are written to the same memory area as for the integrator mode (refer to section 5.4.4, “PICTURE, White Balance and SCREEN Position Adjustment Values Memory Area Tables” (pg. 257 to 261)). Note (1) Assign an ID before using the RS-232C adjustment.

RS-232C Adjustment 3 Combination Connection When controlling/adjusting panels, it is convenient to connect several displays to one PC. By performing a combination connection and assigning IDs to the panels, it is possible to control and adjust several displays at the same time or separately. Connection method: Connect the panels as shown in the figure below.
RS-232C Adjustment 4 ID Assignment The ID is assigned from the PC. Commands: (ID CLEAR) ........ Clears the assigned ID (ID SET) ............. Assigns an ID IDS is only effective when an ID is not assigned. IDs are assigned starting from the panel closest to the PC. Example: Case of 4 displays (assigning IDs with the PC for the first time) First, connect an RS-232C and combination cables. (Refer to section 5.5.3, “Combination Connection” (pg. 264).
RS-232C Adjustment Under the connection conditions shown below, use a combination cable for up to 16 panels. Conditions: 1 Length of RS-232C cable connecting PC to Plasma Display: 5 m 2 Combination cable length: 5 m each 3 Wire specifications for linking cable: Mini Din 6-pin straight (7 strand cable) For one strand, suitable for AWG28: Cross-section area = 0.08 mm2 ≠ 7 strands × π r2 = 7 × 3.14 × 0.062 = 0.079 mm2 ≠ 0.
