Syntax: show tech

Executing show tech outputs a data listing to your terminal emulator. However, 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.)

To Copy show tech output to a Text File. This example uses the Microsoft Windows terminal emulator. To use another terminal emulator application, refer to the documentation provided with that application.
