You can assign a unique ID number to each monitor (see page 25). This allows you to control a particular monitor in a daisy chain of monitors.

You can assign ID numbers either from the menu screen or from the PC using RS-232 cable.

[Example]

ID number: 1 ID number: 2 ID number: 3 ID number: 4

If monitors are connected as shown above, you can execute commands like ???Set the volume of the monitor with ID 4 to 20???.

When designating ID numbers for a set of monitors linked in a daisy chain, you should basically avoid any duplication of ID numbers.

ID numbers do not have to be assigned in ascending order starting from the PC. They can also be connected as shown below.

[Example]

ID number: 3 ID number: 2 ID number: 4 ID number: 1

Controlling the Monitor with a PC (RS-232C)

nCommands for ID control

The command examples shown on this page assume the following connection and ID number set up.

ID number: 1 ID number: 2 ID number: 3 ID number: 4

IDST..........A monitor receiving this command sets its own ID number in the parameter field.

Example:

IDST0001

OK 001 ??? The ID number of this monitor is set to 1.

IDLK.........The parameter of this command sets the ID

number of the monitor. The monitor is subject to all subsequent commands.

Example:

TIPS

You can automatically assign ID numbers by using the IDST command with the Repeater control (see ???Repeater control??? on page 36).

For example, using the command ???IDST001+??? automatically sets the ID numbers, as shown below.

[Example]

ID number: 1 ID number: 2 ID number: 3 ID number: 4

VOLM0020 ???

WAIT

OK 002 IDLK0000 ???

WAIT ???

OK 002 ??? VOLM0010

OK 001 ???

Sets volume of monitor with ID number: 2 to 20.*

Canceling fixed ID number setting

Canceling IDLK

Cancelation complete

The volume of the monitor with ID number: 1 (the one directly connected to the PC) is set to 10. (IDLK is canceled.)

IDSL.........The parameter of this command sets the ID number

of the monitor. The monitor is subject to the next command.

Example:

to the PC) is set to 20.*

*The IDSL command is effective only once, for the immediately succeeding command.

*The IDLK command remains effective until it is canceled, or power is shut off.

IDCK........Provides screen display of the ID number currently assigned to a monitor, and the ID number currently set for IDLK (if any).

Example:

(After executing IDLK0002)

nRepeater control

This system has a function to allow setting of multiple monitors connected in a daisy chain using a single command.

This function is called repeater control. You can use Repeater control function without assigning ID numbers.

[Example]

Setting of the GAMMA user data

nTo transfer the GAMMA user data

Use the user data transfer commands (UGRW, UGGW and UGBW). For each of the R, G and B colors, divide the total

512 pieces of user data into 16 blocks, and transfer 32 pieces of data with each command.

C1 C2 C3 C4 P1 P2 P3 P4 ??? S1 S2

Command field Block number (01 to 16) Data field Checksum field

*If monitors are connected as shown above, you can execute a command like ???Set all monitors??? input settings to

D-SUB[RGB]???.

nRepeater control command

Repeater control is achieved by setting the FOURTH CHARACTER of the parameter to ???+???.

Example:

VOLM030 + ??? Sets volume of all monitors to 30.

In repeater control, responses are returned by all the connected monitors.

If you want to determine that a value has been returned by a specific set, assign ID numbers to each monitor in advance.

When some monitors do not return their responses, the probable cause is that the monitors could not receive the command or command processing is not complete. Do not send a new command.

Example: (When 4 monitors are connected, and assigned ID numbers: 1 through 4)

VOLM030 +

WAIT

OK 001

OK 002

OK 003

OK 004 ??? If 4 monitors are connected in

a chain, reliable operation can be ensured by sending a new command only after a reply has been returned by 4th (last) monitor.

Repeater control can also be used for reading settings.

Example:

VOLM ? ? ? +

TIPS

???If repeater control is used during ID designation (IDSL,

IDLK), the ID designation is canceled.

Example: To transfer the data of block 1 (0 to 31 levels)

of red (R) data

UGRW01000000010002 ??? 0031C0

One piece of data consists of 4 digits.

Command Block number 32 pieces of data Checksum

*If data is less than 4 digits, add a ???0??? (zero) to make it 4 digits.

*The checksum field is the character string (ASCII) data of lower-order one byte which indicates the sum of the block number and 32 pieces of data in hexadecimal (0 to F).

nSaving the GAMMA user data

Use the user data save command (UGSV) to save the transferred user data in the monitor.

If the data is not saved, it will be cleared when:

???The main power switch is off

???STANDBY MODE is LOW POWER and the monitor enters standby mode

nActivating the GAMMA user data

To activate the transferred user data, select USER for GAMMA of the PICTURE menu, or send the corresponding RS-232C command.

nChecking the GAMMA user data

Use the user data read commands (UGRR, UGGR and

UGBR) to return 512 pieces of user data for each of the R, G and B colors. Divide the data into 16 blocks and return 32 pieces of data with each command. The value to be returned is not the value stored in the monitor, but the value in the temporary memory for display. (These values are the same when the user data save command (UGSV) above has been sent.)

TIPS

???The user data is not initialized by RESET of the PICTURE menu. To initialize the user data, use ALL RESET of the

FUNCTION menu.

The GAMMA user data initialize command (UGRS) allows the initialization of the user data only.

Note that screw hole depth of the monitor is 3/8 inch (10 mm). Loose mounting may cause the product to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as well as damage to the product. The screw and hole should come together with over 5/16 inch

(8 mm) length of thread. Use a bracket which has been approved for UL1678 standard, and which can endure at least 4 times or more the weight of the monitor.

Mounting Precautions

(For SHARP dealers and service engineers)

???When installing, removing or moving the monitor, ensure that this is carried out by at least 4 people.

???Be sure to use a wall-mount bracket designed or designated for mounting the monitor.

???This monitor is designed to be installed on a concrete wall or pillar. Reinforced work might be necessary for some materials such as plaster / thin plastic board / wood before starting installation.

???This monitor and bracket must be installed on a wall which can endure at least 4 times or more the weight of the monitor. Install by the most suitable method for the material and the structure.

???To attach a mounting bracket, use M6 screws that are 5/16 inch (8 mm) to 3/8 inch (10 mm) longer than the thickness of the mounting bracket.

???Do not use an impact driver.

???When moving the monitor, be sure to hold it with the handles, the unit bottom and the side of unit. Do not hold the LCD panel. This may cause product damage, failure, or injury.
