30 ● AQ DMC-40x0 Command Reference
AQ
FUNCTION: Analog Configuration
DESCRIPTION:
The Analog Configuration (AQ) command is used to set the range of the analog inputs. There are
4 different ranges that each analog input may be assigned.
Setting a negative range for inputs 1,3,5 or 7, configures those inputs as the differential input
relative to input 2,4,6 and 8 respectively.
ARGUMENTS: AQn,m where
n is an integer from 1-8 that represents the analog input channel
m is an integer from 1-4 that designates the analog range
m Analog Range Position Range
