Note: The CarChip data logger does not have to be connected to your computer to use the Full Setup 
option. Without the CarChip connected, the Full Setup displays the essential software features only. When 
the CarChip data logger is connected, the other setup commands pertaining to the CarChip are available. 

By selecting the walkthrough process, the software displays a series of dialog boxes listed below. At each 
step in the walkthrough process, confirmation boxes are provided to perform or skip the next step in the 
walkthrough. To continue, click OK. To skip a step and move to the next step, click Skip. To cancel the 
entire walkthrough process, click Cancel. 

The dialog boxes included in the full walkthrough vary depending on the CarChip data logger model you 
have and whether your CarChip is connected to your computer. 

Available when CarChip is plugged in: 

• 

CarChip / Set Speed Bands

 - Enter the threshold speeds for the CarChip data logger. The 

threshold speeds help you identify how much time is spent in each speed band. The time spent in 
each band shows up on the Trip Report and is displayed as horizontal dotted lines in the Trip 
Speed Plot.
