Using the Code Set Master simulator to send Codes to your Code Set Consumer SUT

The CSM Simulator allows the users of the simulator to send Code Sets to CSC actors. The CSM simulator provides some sample Code Sets (at least one for each message type that can be used to feed client Code Set Consumer.
