CANDoo Professional

2. Getting Started

The help files are structured in two main sections:

 The Getting Started section, which covers the basics about the CANDooPro

system

 The main Vehicles section that covers specific details and features about working

with specific vehicle types

Please review the Getting Started section first to familiarize yourself with the

CANDooPro system, then you can jump to the specific section pertinent to the type

of vehicle you are working on.

2.1 Computer Requirements

CANDooPro has been designed to run on most laptop and desktop

computers available today that run the Windows operating system. (It will

NOT work with Mac operating systems, or Linux-based systems!)

Basic Computer Requirements:

1. Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7 operating system (will not work with older Windows 2000, ME,

98, or 95)

2. USB port

3. Internet connection (required for downloading program and updates; not required while using

system)

Some points to consider:

1. The CANDooPro Developers used inexpensive Acer AspireOne Netbooks for development and

testing of the system. The reason we did this is to make sure the system will work well with a basic

low-cost computer.

2. Inexpensive Netbooks like the Acer, HP, Asus, or others can be purchased for less than $300 at

your local Walmart, BestBuy, Target or other retailers.

3. You can certainly use a more expensive laptop or desktop computer, especially if you are a

home user and only using the system occasionally. My experience is that the nicer the laptop is,

the more likely that I will drop it off the ski, or get it really greasy!
