- Dialogs are either core or optional to a script sequence (HoldForWindow is used on a core dialog).
EasyLogUSB
Hardware/Software Setup
- Install EasyLogUSB & Autohotkey
- Connect Lascar sensor, launch the device with sampling frequencey set to 10 secs (3 day). Everything else leave as default.
NB. Currently script can't change the sampling frequency.

- Press Ctrl + J on keyboard to run script
- EasyLogUSB will launch and run the selected script
NB. Script will turn EasyLogUSB off after ever operation (stability reasons).
- If a script fails cancel via Authotkey tray icon (right-click and click pause script)

EasyLogUSB
- Add support for following error messages:
-- Error Downloading (occured when speed testing script / requires EasyLogUSB shutdown)
-- Error Communicating with logger (occured when speed testing script / requires EasyLogUSB shutdown)
- Could not get ControlSend to reliably target button controls and had to use standard key commands. Need to investigate.
