Example: If a file named history.dat (the default history file) already exists, the new file will be created with the name history1.dat. If history1.dat already exists, the new file will be named history2.dat and so on.

Creating a new history file will cause all current data to be written to this new filename.

If you plan to track and store data, we recommend that you use a filename other than “history” or “weather”. Typically, file names must start with a letter and not have spaces in them to work properly with other programs.

Note: You can also create a new history file by using the application menu options. Go to Extras, options, and click the square button at the end of Recording History file. Type a new filename and click ok.
