After clicking: the process of downloading data from the tachograph will begin.

The program shall display the Data summary window with the tab: Certificates verifying the digital signature. You should click on:

The tab title Certificates in red appears when the following are discovered:

- incorrect certificate – a relevant message shall also be displayed;
- No data (tachograph reading) – no data record on a selected day;
- no activities (tachograph reading) – the selected day was blocked with a foreign company card.

 

Data with an invalid certificate will not be saved to the database!!!!!

 

• - the data will be saved to the database;

or

• - data saving will be cancelled.

If you do not want the summary window to be displayed, uncheck Show driver card or digital tachograph data before saving in the program settings.

 

If data are downloaded from the tachograph for the first time, the system will display:

click to expand/collapseWindow: "Select the vehicle or add a new one"
Click to zoom in/out

Fig. "Select the vehicle or add a new one" window.

 The window will display all, not saved beforehand, vehicles found by the program in a given read out. Each vehicle that is displayed in the list should be marked, and a specified action should be assigned to them:

matching vehicles found in system

This item is marked by default, if the program finds at least one similar vehicle registration number in the database. In such a case, select an appropriate vehicle in the list and click LMB on the button .

Depending of an authorized workshop, the vehicle’s registration number inserted during calibration can contain symbols of so-called "space" or cannot.

For the program the number "NOL11CF" (without a space) is different from the number: "NOL 11CF" (with a space). This is why, in such situation, when recording a new vehicle into the base, the program will display the number "NOL 11CF" as a similar (fig.1)

If a vehicle’s registration number has already been recorded in the database, the program will not display the window for choosing a vehicle again (Fig. above).

 

select other vehicle

Should be chosen, when other vehicle data must be recorded.

save as new

This item is marked by default, when the system fails to find either an identical or similar registration number in its database.

save as inactive

Choose it when data concerning driver's activities need to be recorded, and there is no need to record the vehicle at the same time (not our company vehicle).

When choosing a similar registration number be wise and make sure that the given number is correct.

If an incorrect registration number is indicated in the window for choosing a vehicle, you need to remove the link in the edition and vehicle window (see: "vehicle"), and then remove all incorrectly inserted days and collect data from the tachograph again.

 

 

 

Similarly, if a new driver appears in the data downloaded from the tachograph, the system will display:

click to expand/collapseWindow: "Select a driver or save a new one"
Click to zoom in/out

Fig. Choosing a driver.

The window contains the following options:

matching drivers found in system

This item is marked by default, if the program finds at least one similar driver's name in the database. In such a case, select an appropriate driver in the list below and click LMB on the button .

Be careful when selecting a similar driver's name and make sure that the selected driver is correct.

If an incorrect driver's name is selected, cancel or change it into a correct driver card number in the driver editing window (see: "Driver"), and then open every incorrect day for edition (see: "Driver card and record sheet data") and change the driver's name into a correct one.

 

Name (names) and surname of the driver is saved in the memory with Latin letters – no Polish fonts. Example: Żółty Piotr Józef will be saved in the memory as Zolty Piotr Jozef.

In the bracket, next to the driver’s surname, there is the company by which he is employed.

 

select other driver

Should be chosen, when other driver's data must be recorded.

save as new

This item is marked by default, when the system fails to find either an identical or similar driver's name in its database.

save the data since

After marking that option one may choose from which date the digital data will be saved in the data base.

 

 

Next, it will record data in the database automatically and display them in the "digital tachograph analysis window". If given days have been recorded before, their recording will be omitted.

Times downloaded from a tachograph are automatically shifted, in accordance with a time zone settings.

Source files shall be copied (relocated) to the Digital catalogue located in the files catalogue of the TachoScan module (see: "Administration panel -> Paths -> Path for the TachoScan module files").
