The data acquired during the scanning process are stored in the Log File.
The file has a “.csv” type of extension so that it can be consulted using the most widely used spreadsheets (Microsoft Excel, Calc).
In view of the limited number of lines (about 65,500), the program eliminates the oldest data and maintains the most recent ones.
For this reason, the software has been designed to regulate the sampling time interval so as to maintain the most significant data for the
user in its memory (tab. 1).
