RS232 Communication
RS232 control is not necessary for operation, but is a convenient way to control
displays from a computer at a distance. If your installation will not use RS232 control,
skip this section. Most things you can do with the remote, you can do with RS232
commands. Plus, you can send inquiries to the displays and find out the current
settings and values. RS232 connections are made with standard straight-through
cables.
Connecting the RS232 Cable
The RS232 cable will connect to a PC or control system, depending on your setup.
Setting Up Multiple Inputs

RS232 commands, you can pull up a basic program such as Tera Term to send
commands. Below is an small example.
