ever, using your terminal emulator’s text capture features, you can also save
show tech data to a text file for viewing, printing, or sending to an associate.
For example, if your terminal emulator is the Hyperterminal application
available with Microsoft
®
Windows
®
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.)
