software, you can copy the show tech output to a file and then use either Microsoft Word or Notepad to display
the data. (In this case, Microsoft Word provides the data in an easier-to-read format.)
The following example uses the Microsoft Windows terminal emulator. If you are using a different terminal
emulator application, see the documentation provided with the application.
