Configuration Commands for the DTP41

Many advanced users of the DTP41 have asked for additional information on how to talk to the instrument via a terminal program. For most users, the X-Rite ToolCrib utility is the easiest and best option for talking to the instrument, however for users of OS versions not supported by ToolCrib, or who want to use a simple terminal program we provide the list of commands below.

Note: These are normally thought of as programmers codes, and as such no phone support for the use of these codes is offered. If you have questions, feel free to email your questions instead: GISupport@x-rite.com . In addition if you wish to read a strip, or perform a spot read, with the instrument we recommend the following resources:

Configuration settings:

The convention used for configuration settings is: switch setting, switch, CF -return- (with no comma separators.) For example if you wished to turn autotransmit on, you would use 0105CF -return-.

All settings noted with an asterisk* are those that are the default of the instrument as shipped from the factory.

Error Codes:  Many  users have asked to understand the errors that  a DTP41 can display in a terminal window - a small subset of the error codes are listed below. 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.

Note:  If your instrument displays error codes other than those listed below it is likely that it will require factory service. Please contact X-Rite Customer Service to arrange repair.
