2. Click Save in the bottom on any of the Survey, History or Errors tabs. All three log files will be
saved regardless of from which tab the Save button was clicked.
3. Select the drive onto which you will save the log files and click the Save button. Three html files
will be saved to the inserted diskette or USB flash drive.
NOTE: Do not remove the diskette or USB flash drive until you see a message indicating that the
html files have been written to the media.
