The CarChip software includes an express walkthrough that steps you through the dialog boxes and 
screens in the software that are essential for configuring your CarChip data logger and CarChip software 
as a first time user. After installing the CarChip software on your computer and opening the program, the 

Walkthrough Selection

 dialog box automatically displays. By clicking Express Setup, the express 

walkthrough process begins. The Express Walkthrough command is included in the Setup menu so that 
you can access the express walkthrough at any time. You can alternately configure your CarChip data 
logger and software by separately selecting all of the necessary setup options from the Setup menu. 

 

Note: The CarChip data logger does not have to be connected to your computer to use the Express Setup 
option. Without the CarChip connected, the Express 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 express 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.
