Except as noted, the commands for the DQ-4000 can all be entered without parameters to have the
DQ-4000 report back the value of the appropriate parameters in memory. For example, issuing CS1
M3-2598 [Enter]
sets the string1 to “M3-2598”. Now issuing CS1 [Enter] gets the DQ-4000 to
respond with the currently set value, i.e. M3-2598.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• All commands (except CT0) allow you to make changes to the operation of the DQ-4000 for
the current session. When the power is removed, the settings will revert to the values
previously saved in the flash memory. If you wish the effect of the command to persist to the
next session, you will need to issue the SAVE command to save the changes permanently to
the flash memory.
• The CT0 hard tare command would tare and automatically issue the SAVE command, so that
the tare value is saved permanently to the flash memory.
• The DQ-4000 flash memory has minimum 10,000 erase/write cycles. However, if your
operating environment requires a lot of tares, you should use CT1 soft tare command that
doesn’t write to flash memory.
4.1 S# Command
Function: Sets (returns) currently addressed channel
Summary: Sets or displays the currently selected channel. All subsequent commands will
apply only to the selected channel until the next S# command is issued.
S1, S2, S3 and S4 select their respective channels individually. The S0 sets the
DQ-4000 to address all channels together as a whole.
Example: S1 (sets current channel to Channel 1)
S0 (sets to address all channels together)
S (displays the currently selected channel)
