Configuration Commands for DTP41

Configuration settings:
The convention used for configuration settings is: switch setting, switch, CF -return- (with no comma separators). All settings that are denoted with an asterisk* are factory default of the instrument. Commands are case insensitive.
Syntax: **##cf
              where  ** is the switch setting or option selection
                          ## is the switch or index to the item to be configured
Examples
                0105CF <return> would turn autotransmit on
                040ACF <return> would set output precision to 4 decimal places.

Operation Commands
CM Calibrate Drive motor
CR Calibrate Reflectance
  This executes reflection calibration using the supplied calibration reference
CU Calibrate Unit (added after firmware v8212)
  This enters the CR, CM and, if transmission mode is present CT
DM Drive Motor - turns on/off the drive motor
  02 DM returns current motor speed
  1.20DM will set the motor to the default motor speed
RI Reset Instrument to its power - up state
RM Request Measurement Initiates the measurement process
SV or V Send Version returns the model and firmware version
XE Clear and transmit errors

Undocumented Commands
note: use it at own risk as they may affect normal operation of dtp41
CE  Clear errors in the error memory stack
CL  unconfirmed (calibration learn mode: test white reference???)
CT  Transmission calibration for dtp41t only  [ Link ]
        00CT  white calibration
        01CT  black calibration
00SN return the instrument serial number
04SN return calibration strip serial number
05SN return 000000
00CR static calibration Black reference, to be confirmed
01CR static calibration White reference, to be confirmed

01DS return 0070700010080023
BR  return present baud rate
MP  ???
00PB  disable keypress switch
01PB  enable keypress switch

Error Codes
All errors are displayed in a <xx> format where the xx is equivalent to two numbers, or a number followed by a letter. If instead the error comes back like <Ax> (capitol letter followed by a number) this indicates a compound error. Use the XE command to list the individual errors and clear the error stack.

00 = NO ERROR
01 = MEASUREMENT STATUS -Measurement complete
