Hi all.

I need a little help.

I am starting to test my Samsung LCD RS232 functions. I also used Eventghost and it responds to some commands so I guess the LCD is properly configured and the cable is working.

My problem is that I want to manually test the commands but I don't know how to. I already tested hyperterminal and similar programs with no success. I am a bit confused about the format of the commands I must send.

I have read in this topic alone 3 different formats:

\x08\x22\x00\x00\x00\x01\x2C
08 22 00 00 00 02 D4
$08,$22,$01,$00,$01,$00,$d4

None of the different formats worked (tested various commands). I took a look at the format Eventghost uses and it seems pretty basic: 08 02 prefix following by the command part. But I was unable to see if it makes some kind of formatting or not.

I know that the essential part is the format in the second example and the \x and $ are just formatting characters but... what is the format expected by the tv? Which one should I use in realterm or hyperterminal?
Also do I need to send Line feeds or carriage returns after that?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
