Hi forum,

I did 2 serial files in the past which are availible in the download section.

Now I have swiched from a digital projector to an NEC XG CRT. This PJ can be controled with a PC via RS232 and a sofware provided by NEC called " PC control". Unfortuanatly, no plain serial commads are known.

The PC needs to be conectred wit the PJ in order to make the software sending commands, otherwise, the sofware is executed only in a demo mode.

What I am looking for, is something with what I can log the commands beeing sent to the PJ and the answers comming from the PJ so that I can see the sequences beeing send and received. If I could extract the single commands for i.e "increase brightness" I could be able to write a file to control the PJ via girder using the serial plugin.

Does anybody has a clue?

Regards Torsten

Yes, there are several programs that do this...

I am not where I have the name of the program I use but I am thinking its call... serial monitor ;)

I believe sysinternals.com has a less featured version.

Take a look at this thread (http://www.promixis.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=9491). I haven't used either of these but others have. :)
