D OWNLOADING D ATA
Once the data connection is established and the software is
configured, you are ready to collect data and transfer it into
the various database files.
Select DriveRight|Download DriveRight to download the
data collected by the DriveRight console onto your PC. If the
DriveRight is properly calibrated and assigned, the data will be
automatically linked to the correct vehicle. If you desire, you
may add information to this data using the Database|Trips...
menu option.
A DDITIONAL S OFTWARE T OPICS
Once you begin collecting data, you can use VMS to report, fil-
ter, import and record the DriveRight data. The following sec-
tion provides a brief overview of these and other functions.
More information on all of these, and other, features is avail-
able in the online help file and in the printable manual and
“readme” files found in the DOC folder of the DriveRight Soft-
ware folder.
Using Filters and the Active Range
Since the software database holds all relevant information for
an unlimited number of vehicles, drivers, and trips, the infor-
mation may quickly grow to a size too unmanageable for
timely analysis. Several features are built in to help manage
the data.
Filters are routinely available to help isolate data by date,
driver, or any other parameter found in the database. The filter
dialog will appear any time a report or operation could benefit
from limiting the amount of data presented. See the online
help file for details about how to input the range sought by
each filter option.
