Its always good to get feedback.
I'll post Lee's request for info here, and see if I can't get a subset
of the config commands on the website by the end of the day - at least
the "Top 20"
Reset (which is on the website :-))

Resetting an X-Rite DTP41
------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------
There are two reset procedures for X-Rite's DTP41; no software is
required.
POWER UP RESET - This procedure resets the instrument to it's power-up
defaults as last set by either the factory, or a third party package of
software.
Plug in the instrument.
Press and hold the black measure button until it glows RED.
Release the button.
Press the button again (This must be done within ten seconds of step 3,
or the instrument will return to the ready to measure mode, without
resetting).
FULL FACTORY RESET - This will reset the instrument to the default
settings for both measurement modes and communications.
Unplug the instrument from power.
Press and hold the black measure button.
While holding the button, plug the instrument back in. The light will
turn RED.
Release the button. The light will turn green.
The instrument is now returned to factory default settings.

Changing the drive speed is also on there, but not so easily found :-(

Trouble reading strips after using with a Dupont Waterproof system
------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------
The early software used with the Dupont Waterproof system and the X-Rite
DTP41 sets some commands in the instrument that cannot be reset through
the standard factory reset. One change is the drive motor speed setting,
where a higher speed is set and made permanent. This higher speed may
result in an instrument that will no longer read strips properly with
other 3rd party software that needs the default motor speed to recognize
the smaller patches produced by that software.
Below we outline the steps needed to verify, and change if necessary the
drive motor speed. Note that this can be done most easily from the
terminal window of the ToolCrib utility sent with every DTP41, though
any terminal utility could be used.
Launch ToolCrib and select the DTP41 instrument and the serial port that
it is connected to.
Under the Tools menu select terminal
Verify communications in the terminal window by typing sv [return] the
instrument should respond with the instrument type, and firmware
version, along with a <00>
Clear any errors from the instrument with the xe [return] command
Now issue a 02dm [return] (that is a number zero and a number two) This
command should return the current motor speed. If it returns 1.20 you
are at the default motor speed, and need go no further. If your value is
not 1.20 proceed to step 6
Now type 1.20dm [return] (one point two zero) this should return a <00>
Now make that setting permanent using the mp [return] command
At this point the instrument has been returned to it's default motor
speed. You can quit ToolCrib and retry reading your strip in the
application that generated it.

How's about just laying the motor speed calibration and reset commands
on us? I could really use them right now and I can't seem to locate
those documents on your web site.
