Log data analysis with PC (DashWare)
To use the function of recording, replaying, and time measuring, a commercially available USB flash drive is necessary.
200MB and over is necessary in a USB flash drive. Around 40MB is necessary to record the driving log data of 9 hours 59minutes 59seconds.
A USB flash drive with security functions such as password cannot be used since data cannot be written to it. Please prepare one without security functions.
