4.5.4. Initiate Upload File (Read from M3)
Command code: ULD

the system into a mode awaiting the start of a Y Modem upload process. The actual data transfer is handled using
this serial transfer protocol.
The filename provided must match the name of the file to be uploaded.
Special Case: If the ULD command is followed by just a number, the system will assume the file to be downloaded
is a snippet and will initiate the download of the snippet number.

the system into a mode awaiting the start of a Y Modem download process. The actual data transfer is handled
using this serial transfer protocol.
Special Case: If the DLD command is followed by just a number, the system will assume the file to be uploaded is
a snippet and will initiate the upload of the snippet number.
Example: DLD 1.mp3 <CR>, will initiate the downloading of 1.mp3 to the M3 memory
Command response: Begin Y-Modem download
4.5.6. Delete file
Command code: DEL

system to delete the corresponding file on the memory card. Once the file is deleted there is no way to undelete the
file.

a snippet and will initiate the upload of the snippet number.
Example: DEL 1.mp3 <CR>, will delete 1.mp3

If the file specified does not exist, the system will output: “Message does not exist, please re-enter”, no file will be
deleted.
