With Smartdownload you can setup the schedule for download of both the Driver Card and the Vehicle Unit. All of this is handled in the background and files will be passed straight to Smartanalysis.
Smartdownload allows you to hold the Company Card(s) in your office. The card is placed permanently in a card reader on any PC which has a permanent connection to the Internet.
The digiDL remote download device is installed in your vehicle and makes a connection via GPRS to the Internet and in turn to your Company Card(s). The process authenticates as if the Company Card were in the vehicle. The digiDL device can now perform a download and passes the file(s) to Smartanalysis via the GPRS network.
The digiDL remote download device can only be fitted to the following digital tachographs
- VDO Tachograph 1.3+ with a Secondary CAN-Bus
- Stoneridge Rev 7.0+.
There are a number of VDO Tachographs 1.3 and 1.4 that do not have the required Secondary CAN-Bus. You can find a list of models that are affected here.
