SETUP MODE
The Setup Mode allows the user to adjust the configuration of the meter. The Setup Mode
is entered by pressing The ON/SETUP key when the unit is on. The parameter and the
current value will alternately flash in the display. The following table indicates the
Parameters that are available, their meaning and available setting range:
PARAMETER DESCRIPTION RANGE
BAT REMAINING BATTERY LIFE 0 - 100 %
CONT CONTRAST 0 - 15
AOFF AUTO OFF TIMER 0 - 30 MINUTES
BEEP KEY BEEP LENGTH 0 - 15
FCON DIGITAL FILTER CONSTANT 1 - 255
BAT – (MODEL 2100 ONLY) This parameter gives an indication of the remaining battery
power. The battery life is displayed as percent of life.
CONT – This parameter controls the contrast of the LCD display. A Higher setting will
cause the display to darken. A lower setting will cause the display to lighten.
AOFF – This parameter determines the period of inactivity before the meter is turned OFF.
A timer is started when the meter is turned ON and is reset each time a key is pressed.
When the timer reaches the value set in this parameter, the power is automatically turned
OFF.
NOTE: Setting this parameter to 0 disables the Auto Off timer. When running from
line power, the meter will not automatically shut off.
BEEP – This parameter controls the length of the audio feedback beep (click) that occurs
when a key is depressed. A Higher setting will cause a longer (louder) beep. If the value is
set to 0, the beep is eliminated.
FCON – This parameter controls the Filter Constant. The software has a Digital Filter that
averages the pressure readings to produce a stable display. This setting determines the
number of samples that are averaged in the digital filter. Increasing this setting will cause a
more stable display. However, it will also cause a slower response to small changes in
pressure. The best setting is the smallest number that provides a stable display.
12
INPUTS
PRESSURE INPUT – Male luer lock connector is used for the pressure input.
POWER INPUT – A 2.1 mm jack is provided for the optional 9 VDC Battery Eliminator
power supply that may be used for continuous run applications. It bypasses the internal
battery when plugged in.
RS232 – This is the serial interface connector. (MODELS 2001 PLUS AND 2100 ONLY)
TEMPERATURE INPUT – A ¼” phono jack is provided to accept any standard YSI Series
700 Temperature Probe. (MODEL 2100 ONLY)
13
STATUS DISPLAYS
LOW BAT – This status screen displays when the battery reaches a critical low level. LOW
BAT is displayed for two seconds once a minute until the battery is replaced.
DEF CAL – This status screen displays on Power Up if the unit is out of Calibration. The
unit will load default values. The unit should be returned to the Factory for Calibration.
14
COMMUNICATIONS
Since the meter does not handle a great deal of data, the link has been optimized to allow
the user, through very simple instructions, to control and interrogate the meter. NOTE:
RS232 is only available on DPM-2001 Plus and DPM-2100 models.
Use RS232 Cable P/N DPM2000C to connect from the RS232 connector on the top of the
DPM to a DB9 Com Port connector on a PC. The DPM is configured as Data
Communications Equipment (DCE) and is intended to connect directly to Data Terminal
Equipment (DTE). This is the standard direct connection to a PC.
The Link communicates at a fixed 115,200 baud with 8 bit data, 1 stop bit, 1 start bit, no
parity and no handshaking.
The following section describes the JPC Protocol used by the meter.
The JPC Protocol consists of 6 basic commands:
R - READ
W - WRITE
U - UPLOAD
Q - QUICKSEND
V - VERSION
X - CANCEL
The data format is standard ASCII and all data are BCD values.
The following is a breakdown of each of the commands and the way they are accessed.
The meter will echo all characters that are typed to it. When used with a terminal, this will
provide the appropriate display. When used with a computer system, this will provide direct
feedback of the fact that unit has accepted the data.
All commands are completed with a carriage return from the computer. All commands will
be acknowledged by a carriage return, line feed ($0D,$0A). If a command is not valid, the
meter will respond with “??”. All commands are not case sensitive.
15
READ/WRITE COMMANDS
The READ command is utilized to read from the meter any of the gathered data. The
command is entered as a letter followed by 2 numbers, followed by a carriage return:
R(Location)(Return)
The 'R' indicates to the meter that the command is to be a READ command.
The Location contains two digits that indicate the data location that is to be read.
The carriage return indicates that the command is to be activated.
The WRITE command allows the user to update the system settings. The write command
is entered as a letter followed by 7 numbers, followed by a carriage return.
W(Location)(Data) (Return)
The 'W' indicates to the meter that the command is to be a WRITE command.
The Location contains two digits that indicate the data location that is to be read.
The Data contains five digits that indicate the data that is to be written at the desired
Location.
The carriage return indicates that the command is to be activated.

Note 1 – The units for the pressure data is determined by the setting in Location 17. This may be set via the
Write command or manually using the Range Key. See Specifications Page for Ranges.
Note 2 – The units for the temperature data is determined by the setting in Location 18. This may be set via
the Write command or manually using the Range Key. See Specifications Page for Ranges.
The following is an example of how the Read/Write commands are used. For display
purposes, the symbol <cr> will be used to identify a carriage return ($0D), and the symbol
<lf> will be used to identify a line feed ($0A).

00010<cr><lf> Auto Off is set to 10 minutes
W0300000<cr> W0300000<cr><lf> Echo of Command Sent
Change Auto off to disabled
17
The Upload command allows the user to read all of the selected device data from locations
1 through 18 with a single command. The data will be transmitted as a single block with
each location separated by a carriage return, linefeed ($0D,$0A).
The following is the format for this command:
See the table in the Read Command section for details on the data structure.
Quicksend is a feature that allows the user to receive an automatic update of all of the
meter data without any user interaction. When the Quicksend feature is turned ON, the
meter will automatically send all of the device data every half second. The Quicksend
feature is toggled ON and OFF with the Quicksend command.
The following is the format for the 'Q' command:
See the table in the Read Command section for details on the data structure.
UPLOAD COMMAND
U (Return)
QUICKSEND COMMAND
Q (RETURN)
18
The Version command allows the user to read the Software Version that the unit is running.
To read the Version, the following syntax is used:
The CANCEL command is simply a way to re-establish proper control, should an error
occur or an incorrect command be transmitted. For the most part, an incorrect command
will simply be ignored and the meter will prepare for an additional command. However, a
command may be cancelled midstream by transmitting an 'X' (ASCII). This command does
not require a carriage return, nor will it acknowledge with a carriage return. However, it will
echo an 'X' to indicate that the CANCEL command has been received.
The command may also be utilized as a clear and/or acknowledgement of the meter being
on line.
