IV. Quick start guide
What is a profile?
Generally, profile is a space or memory used to store specific data or information.
In FUP, a profile is used to store a set of mileages and the application do not have
the limitation on the number of profiles that can be created.
Each profile contains a set of mileages (06 drivers, extra 02 presets and a
minimum mileage). Each one couples together a pair of values, which is one-way
miles and annual mileage.
While mileage data of drivers and presets can be transferred from the application
to FSC Rater, the MIN value cannot.
MIN mileage is only used as a comparison value when you send the mileage to
the application, whichever is higher is selected.
