Logging usage:

1. Click More>> to show the extended functionality

   ^{Set to '0' to log as fast as update rate but note that not all csv tools handle this correctly when reading the logged csv}
3. Click Start log, choose a filename and open
   ^{The filename is psuLog_<yyyy-MM-dd_HH.mm.ss>.csv by default}

Scripting usage:

1. Click More>> to show the extended functionality
2. Click the button with the file icon ()
   
3. A file browse window will pop-up where you can pick the script file to open
   
4. Click the play button to start running the script

-After changing comport numbers in device explorer, psControl will not be able to connect to that port until after a reboot.
-you can still adjust the output when running a script. (wich is dangerous when using v++ or i++ in the script)
-script syntax errors are not displayed
