One of the following Month Formats can be selected:
Digits: Two digit month, e.g. 01

TIME Field:
Reads time from system clock at the output time and places it in

EXE. At the time of next serial output, the set of output lines are
appended to the same log file. This would help them keep record of the

Setup' only if you supply this correct password. If you set the password
blank, no password is asked for entry to dialog. Normally the serializa-
