Through the use of the Datalog and the optional Microsoft Windows

produced to aid in accident analysis, maintenance and operator training evaluations. Installation and operation of
the program is described later in this section. Downloading and printing of this information is enabled by way of
optional interface ports located on the decoder board and accessed from the underside of the Gold Box. Figure
