Static Write. Dumps arbitrary data to the log file as a standard hex dump.

session is already open. 

@param aHeader  Specify a string to be printed before the first hex line. 

Leave as null or an empty string for no header.

@note This function has poor performance since it performs a full connection and 

disconnection to the flogger server. Example of aHeader/aMargin. 

If "aHeader" is set to "Fn Output:" and "aMargin" is set to " ", then output 

would look like (for a print of the alphabet):

14/11/2002	12:32:24	 Fn Output:0000 : 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 6a 6b 6c 6d 6e 6f 70 abcdefghijklmnop
