I learned about this one from talking with Tech support rep who came on site to help me with this problem. When in Diag mode, you can do a help and see what commands are available. You can also do a "help ascend" and see even more commands. BEWARE, these are generally Ascend Engineering commands, so they could cause damage if you don't use them correctly. I am doing this on my MAX4004s with V5.0Ap33, if that makes a difference.
