When a new message is added to the log, this number is incremented by 1.

The message sequence number starts at 1 after a firmwareDownload and will increase up to a value of 2,147,483,647 (0x7ffffff). The sequence number will continue to increase beyond the storage limit of 1024 messages. The sequence number can be reset to 1 using the errClear command.
