12 Inch Tilt/Lectern Touchpanels Crestron TPS-4500V & TPS-4500LV Appendix A: RS-232 Protocol TPS-4500V/LV touchpanels support panel operation via a host computer through the RS-232 port. While in this mode, the touchpanel can be used as a stand-alone controller to a host computer running a third-party or custom program. Crestron recommends that the following serial data format is set.
Crestron TPS-4500V & TPS-4500LV 12 Inch Tilt/Lectern Touchpanels at a time, an 'R' code always follows a 'P' code. A fixed three-digit format is used to simplify software on the host. Codes may be sent to the touchpanel in the same form as they are received. The 'P' form turns on a function and the 'R' form turns off a function; sending back information received from the touchpanel (i.e., jumping pins 2 and 3 on the RS-232 port) makes the buttons momentary.
