Starting STMON
1. STMON should be executed within the DOS environment. STMON is not suitable
for execution from within the MS-Windows environment.
2. Type the following at the MS-DOS command line;
stmon /c com_port /f filename
All parameters are optional.
/c com_port specifies which serial communications port to use (COM1 is used

stmon /c com2
