DRIVINGHEALTH® INVENTORY including UFOV®: System Requirements and Operating Characteristics

System Requirements & Operating Characteristics

The DRIVINGHEALTH^® INVENTORY including UFOV^® is designed to run on PC systems running Windows® 98, 98SE, ME, 2000, XP, and Vista, with at least 100 megabytes of hard disk space free. A broadband Internet connection is needed to download and run the software in online mode. When using the portable mode built into the software, a fast USB 2.0 port is all that is needed. An 800 X 600 graphics mode must be selectable for the computer and monitor. A standard keyboard and mouse are acceptable; however, the software has been adapted for use with a touchscreen interface, as an option. A sound card and external speakers are also needed, and a color printer is recommended.

The included screening measures are accomplished in approximately 20 minutes, assuming that a test administrator is on hand to provide guidance and assistance. A quiet, semi-private setting is recommended, where glare on the computer monitor can be limited, and there is a clear path to a spot 10 feet away in a direct line from the monitor.

After the screening program is initiated, instructions for all procedures are presented on the monitor and are narrated, to ensure standardization. All functional measures are scored by the software, though some require a prompt or other input by the test administrator. Interpretation and feedback for a driver's results are deferred until completion of the screening program.

Program administration includes login screens, instruction screens, test screens, a results screen, and feedback screens. Other screens, accessible only to the test administrator, reveal stored data files and other data reporting options.
