Static snapshots
You can capture an instantaneous snapshot of system information in a text file. You specify which
BCM Monitor tab you want to capture and then save the information to the .txt file. The file name
embeds the time, date, and BCM50 name information so that you can view the data using
Microsoft Word or another application at another time.
