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 as
default). Valid com_port settings: COM1 COM2
/f filename specifies where to store the log file. Any valid MS-DOS filename is
allowed.
/m specifies monochrome display - useful for maximum contrast.
If the STMON panel shows a communications timeout alarm then;
1) Check cable connection.
2) Check PC Com port selection and if necessary quit STMON by pressing ESC
and invoke using:
stmon /c com1 (for com_port 1) or stmon /c com2 (for com_port 2)
Once the Comms status indicates “COMx: OK” the ST software build , channel
codes and ST options fields should begin to update. A ‘clean’ update of the full
information set may be forced by power cycling the ST.
