6.1
RS-232 Connection and
Port Configuration

To interface the Vision 65/75 with a home theater automation/control system or a PC
running terminal emulation software:

1.

Connect it to your control system or PC as shown in Figure 3-14.

2.

Start a terminal session on your PC using a terminal-emulation program, such as
HyperTerminal.

3.

Configure the RS-232 controller or PC serial port as follows: no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop
bit and no flow control. Set the baud rate to 19200.

4.

Type a command from among those listed in Table 6-1. For example, to select the
Component 1 input, type X133X. Do not send a carriage return after the command.

6.2
Serial Command Syntax

Serial commands to the Vision 65/75 take the following form:

• Commands are in ASCII format.

• Commands must be in UPPERCASE; for example, X001X, not x001x.

• When you send a valid command, the Vision 65/75 executes it and echoes the command

back to the PC or control system. For example, when you send the command X001X, the
Vision 65/75 responds with X0_001X<CR>.

• When you enter an invalid command, the Vision 65/75 simply ignores it.
