ESC/VP Level 6 Serial Communication Manual (Abridged Edition) 4. COMMAND TYPES The types of commands used can be divided into apply commands and reply commands. Both of these command types can be further divided into setting commands, acquisition commands and initialization commands. Apply commands are used to make settings, acquire information and carry out initialization, and reply commands provide responses to apply commands.
Acquisition commands are sent in order to check the execution of a command. In addition, if the next command is sent before the reply to a previous command has been received from the projector, it may result in a communication error.
