+There are two "modes" of logging in ECMLink.
+==== Streaming to screen ====
+"Streaming" (F11 or ECU->Start stream) receives data from the ECU and displays it on the screen but does not save the data to disk.  This can be useful for quick checks or diagnostics.
+==== Capturing to disk (and screen) ====
+"Capturing" (F12 or ECU->Start capture) does the same as streaming, but also writes the data to a log file automatically.  The name of the log file it creates is determined by the Filenames preferences (Edit->App preferences).
