When using the HDQ single wire serial communication feature, the mode of the gauge must be changed with
a special command. This screen provides a button for this purpose. Note the warning message. The process is
not reversible. Once in HDQ mode, the HDQ pro screen is available for testing commands and reprogramming
the device. For register scanning and data flash access, use the companion evaluation program for HDQ (see
Figure 3-8).
