A-1
Appendix A. *9 Mode — Storage
Module Commands
The *9 Mode is used to issue commands to the storage module using the
Keyboard/Display or a terminal/computer with all dataloggers except the 21X
and CR7. These ‘commands’ are analogous in many respects to the datalogger
functional (*) Modes.
The key sequences for the *9 Mode commands have a generalized format.
Using command 1 as an example:
Key Display Explanation
*9 09:01 Enter *9 Mode
X 09:X Key in the address (x=1 to 8) of the SM to be given the
command.
A 9X:00 Enter the SM address, x; ready to accept a command.
1 9X:1 Key in command 1. Reset SM.
A 01:0000 Enter command 1. Ready for instruction to effect
command 1.
248 01:248 Key in 248 to effect command 1.
A 01: Execute SM Reset.
The module then executes the equivalent of the 1249K telecommunications
command (Appendix B, note this is not a full 1248K reset as some older
modules perform in response to this command which would take too long for
field use). After about one minute with the SM4M, or three minutes with the
SM16M, the number of megabytes of available data storage is displayed:
01:04 4 for an SM4M
01:16 16 for an SM16M
Most commands have at least one response. Advance through the responses
and return to 9X:00 (ready to accept another *9 command) by keying ‘A’.
Exit the *9 Mode by keying ‘*’ and the character of the mode you want to
switch to (e.g., ‘*0’ to go to the log mode).
