Get Command: 
Type in: “Y Control_Type=1,Function” 
Result: “~id=01Y Control_Type=1,Function,Param” 
Get command example: get window control setup (721): 
Send: “#y 1,721” 
Result: “~01@y 1,721,1” 
You can add a last parameter, to be located fourth in SET or third 
in GET, to define a specific window.  
For example: 
Set H Sharpness value to 10 on the PiP window (1): “#y 0,510,10,1” 
Get H sharpness of the Main window (0): “#y 1,510,0”  
The “Y” command also supports the value increment/decrement of any command 
using the ‘+’ or ‘-‘ signs as the third parameter of the “Y” command.  
For example, move the PiP window one step to the left 
Send: “#Y 0,141,-,1<CR>” 
Reply: “~01@Y 0,141,-,1 OK” 
For example, in order to increase zoom on the main windows type “#Y 
0,650,+,0<CR>”. 
Send: “#Y 0,650,+,0<CR>” 
Reply: “~01@Y 0,650,+,0 OK” 
10.2.2  Protocol Table: Mimicking OSD 
You can associate a function number to its description and valid parameters 
intuitively by navigating the OSD menu according to the following logic: A function 
number is directly related to its location in the OSD menu.  
For example, the third menu on the OSD is Process (3 in the hundreds). The 
second menu item in Process is Film Mode (2 in the tens), therefore the function 
number for it will be 320 (3
rd
 item on the Main Window Control and the 2
nd
 item in 
the Process submenu (see also Section  5.1). When navigating in the OSD MENU 
you will be able to see the Film Mode valid parameters.  
The following table defines the protocol commands:
