The console automation can be operated in one of two ways:
1. Internal to the CCM, which has no need for an external PC.
2. External control of an R-Type system from SAM software running on a PC under
Windows O/S.
NOTE: SAM software for R-Type management is NOT currently implemented.

Within the CCM, there are 128 snapshot/scene memory locations. These can be
upgraded to 256 with an add-on card. Additionally, an external PC can be used via a
RS232 or USBport, to bulk dump or retrieve the entire CCM memory.
You can name snapshots/scenes, cut, copy, delete and paste to different memory
locations. As the development of software progresses, it will be possible to upgrade
the onboard software to the latest version via the RS232 or USB port.
NOTE: USB operation is not currently implemented.
