3.1 T – Terminal Emulator
In this mode, the PC runs as a simple terminal allowing you to issue
telecommunication commands directly to the module (see CSM1 manual for

problems with a corrupted card.
To obtain a summary of valid telecommunication commands press F1; a
second press of F1 displays a second screen. To leave the terminal emulator,
press the Esc key.
The terminal emulator option asks the module for an update of its status after
each command. This ensures the module status window is kept up to date.
On a slow PC, or one running at a low baud rate, there can be a
slight delay after a command has been actioned. To avoid
confusion wait until the prompt is returned before typing a new
command.
3.2 A – Collect All Data Files
This option collects all valid data files in the memory card. CSMCOM first
asks for a root filename that is used to name computer data files (see section 4
for details of filename conventions.) After a valid name is entered, CSMCOM
prompts for the format in which you wish to write the data on disk (see section
5).
Once a valid format has been entered CSMCOM starts at the beginning of the
card memory and scans through, writing each card file containing data to a
