The received history record data is saved in a desired folder by assigning a file
name. The extension of the file name is fixed as .LOG.
Since the file is described in a special format, the contents cannot be read using
Windows general application tools.
Reference: The history record data file (.LOG) can be output to a printer, saved in an RTF file,
or output to the screen, using the [Print] function or the [Print Preview] function of
the Support Tool.
To analyze the history record data using other software, convert the file into an
RTF file so that it can be read by other software.
