External Control Commands
The chart below lists the ASCII Capital Characters and
their functions for controlling the DFS from a computer
or other external device:
COMMAND FUNCTION DATA
UNTG Change units to g or kg
UNTN Change units to N
UNTL Change units to lb or oz

DSPC Change mode to peak compression
PKCL Peak clear reset
MEMS Display value stored in memory
MEMC Last data in memory clear
MEMD Memory data output
MEMZ Clear all data in memory
MEMN Memory location recall
CPST Upper and lower limit set
Z Tare
UPD Display update 1,2,3,4,5
APF Auto – power – off 0,3
EXS External input setting Z,H,N
HLD Hold trigger mode E,L,O,C
LOG Memory mode setting S,C,N
PKF Peak fast mode 0,1
DAF Analog output setting 0,1
ADF Filter setting 0,1,2

External Control Command Descriptions
ASCII capital characters
! UNTG, UNTN, UNTL - Change UNITS to Kg, N, lb
UNTG CR... Kg(g)
UNTN CR... N
UNTL CR... lb (oz)
! DSPN, DSPT, DSPC - Change to average, peak tension,
peak compression mode
DSPN CR... Change to average mode
DSPT CR... Change to peak tension mode
DSPC CR... Change to peak compression
! PKCL _____________________ Peak Clear
PKCL CR.... Peak reset. Same as reset from the gauge. If
edge trigger is selected for HOLD, the PC can release the
HOLD using this particular command.
! MEMS, MEMC, MEMD, MEMZ, MEMN
(five control memory commands)
MEMS CR.... with this command if gauge is set in the
ON-DEMAND (single) mode, it sends back to the
computer the word SING. If gauge is set in the
continuous or standard mode then when this command
is sent and the gauge’s memory starts, it sends back to
PC the word STA. If memory stops, the word STP is sent
back to the PC.
MEMC CR.... Last DATA in memory to clear
MEMD CR ....Memory DATA recall
MEMZ CR ... Clear all DATA in memory
MEMN CR ....Memory location recall
! CPST _________________________Comparator Setting
CPST 0 0000 0 0000 CR
Example: CPST 1234-0123 CR
! Z _________________________________ TARE
Z CR .... To TARE. Works the same way as if it were done
thru the gauge i.e SHIFT + ZERO.
! UPD ________________________ Display Update Time
UPD # CR # = 1: 0.125 sec.
2: 0.25 sec.
3: 0.5 sec.
4: 1 sec.
5: 2 sec.
