The neoVI Explorer Configuration Utility

Starting and Using neoVI Explorer

This section will describe general features and the basics of using neoVI Explorer. It is the utility is used to connect to, manage and configure all of Intrepid Control Systems hardware. It is an integral part of Vehicle Spy, but for those not using Vehicle Spy software, it is also available as a stand alone application in the free ICS Hardware Installation kit

Starting neoVI Explorer from within Vehicle Spy

There are several ways to open neoVI Explorer from within VSpy. These are probably the two easiest, since they are accessible at all times:

  • Menu Item: Click the Setup menu and then select Hardware.

  • Hardware Setup Button: Click the button located in the main Vehicle Spy toolbar just under its menu (Figure below).

Note

neoVI Explorer cannot be launched when Vehicle Spy is online (even if in simulation mode). Attempting to do so, VSpy will display a prompt to either go offline and launch neoVI Explorer, or remain online and return to Vehicle Spy.

Starting neoVI Explorer as a Standalone Program

neoVI Explorer can be opened as as standalone program. The location of the shortcut to launch neoVI Explorer differs slightly between a Vehicle Spy installation and the ICS Hardware Installation kit as shown in the following screen captures.
