4. Set Time and Date
Select DriveRight|Set Time & Date...
Make sure that the DriveRight console is activated and the
console displays “CURRENT.” When you set the time and
date in VMS and click the
OK button, the time and date
you specified should appear on the DriveRight console.
5. Set DriveRight ID Codes for Individual Vehicles
Select DriveRight|Set DriveRight...
Each DriveRight console is calibrated for a specific vehicle,
and the ID code is what links the console to the vehicle
data in VMS.
Read any calibration set during vehicle testing, change set-
tings for the DriveRight console, and give it a unique Drive-
Right ID code. Later, when you add vehicles to the
software configuration, you will complete this console-VMS
data link.
