If you set QNH, you will read the height above sea level, corrected for density up to the site of the QNH datum.

If you set QNE you will read the height above the QNE datum (the airport).

The standard pressure set for operating at Flight Levels doesn't have a 'Q' code (to the best of my knowledge) as it doesn't change.
