3. Select the desired File Format. For the Fast Binary or ASCII (CSV) format,
select Append to File or Overwrite File. This file mode determines what
happens when logging starts if a data file of the same name exists. Enter text
characters (79 maximum) into the File Comment box. (The File Comment
text appears in the header of the data file.)
4. Click Select Data File. Enter the file name. The default extensions are *.csv
(ASCII), *.bin (Fast Binary), and *.set (Trend Link). Click Save to save
the name entry of that file. The name of your data file now appears in the Data
File Configuration dialog box.
