files (
first.log
and
second.log
in the example) and for each log file the
different time frames (in the form hhhhmmss, but this need not be
complete — see example below). In the example there are three time
frames in
first.log

hours (at midnight)
1500 This outputs data every 15 minutes.
New log files can be added by clicking
Add File

prompted to enter a file name, and then either confirm with
OK
(which
creates a new log file with no time frames or outputs specified; you then
enter your own information as described below) or click on
Quick

, which
allows you to set up a simple log file. With the
Quick option, you will be prompted to enter a time frame. A log file is
then created with two time frames: the time frame you specified controls
the output of data, and a long time frame is automatically inserted which
