READ LOG
The READ LOG command is used to request a copy of the data contained within
the LOG Buffer to be sent out the serial port. The logged data is not deleted when read.
To delete the LOG Buffer, the ERASE LOG or FACTORY commands are used.
The number of characters contained within the LOG Buffer can be determined with
the LOG MEMORY command. READing the LOG buffer during macro execution will
generate a 'LOGGING ERROR'
