Variables

# UNRESOLVED: no settable variables beyond action-params identified in source

Events

# No unsolicited notifications documented. Device only responds to commands.

Macros

# UNRESOLVED: no multi-step sequences described in source

Safety

confirmation_required_for: []
interlocks: []
# UNRESOLVED: no safety warnings or interlock procedures in source

Notes

Command format: 4-character command field + 4-character parameter field. Parameters must be exactly 4 characters, padded with spaces if needed.
Query uses ???? as parameter to request current value.
100ms minimum interval required between command response and next command transmission.
Command response timeout should be set to 10 seconds or longer.
In standby mode, only POWER CONTROL command is usable.
HPOS, VPOS, CLCK, PHSE commands apply only to D-SUB (PC analog) input.
Nothing returned if physical connection not established (not even ERR).
