The Lightware Protocol #3 (LW3) is implemented in almost all new Lightware devices (matrix switchers,
signal extenders and distribution amplifiers) since 2012. The protocol is APSC-based and all commands
are terminated with a carriage return (Cr, '\r') and line feed (Lf, '\n') pair. t is organized as a tree structure
that provides outstanding flexibility and user-friendly handling with 'nodes', 'properties' and 'methods'. The
Advanced View of the Lightware Device Controller software is the perfect tool for browsing and learning how
the LW3 protocol can be used in practice.
