click to expand/collapseShow summary before saving the data from digital downloads

 

 Option checked — Data summary window will always be displayed, even when you download data from the driver card / tachograph / file again;

 Option unchecked — Data summary window will not be displayed except in exceptional situations:

- reading of a new driver / vehicle (absent in the database);

- reading containing an incorrect certificate / certificates;

- reading an incorrect file;

- other irregularities.

 
click to expand/collapseAfter saving the digital data open it in a daily view form

 Option checked — after reading and writing a digital file, the program for each driver / vehicle will additionally display: "View/ edit a day from a driver card window"

 Option unchecked — the above window will not be displayed - the program will display "Data summary" only.

 
click to expand/collapseDuring the analysis of digital readouts search for the driver within active company only

Option checked - the program checks only the database of drivers assigned to the active company. If in the downloaded reading the program finds the driver who is in the database, but is assigned to a non-active company, it treats him as a new driver and displays a "Save a new driver" window;

Option unchecked - the program checks the entire database regardless of the active company.

 
click to expand/collapseDuring the analysis of digital readouts search for the vehicle within active company only

 Option checked — the program checks only the database of vehicle registration numbers assigned to the active company.

If in the downloaded reading the program finds a vehicle that is in the database but is assigned to a different company than the active one then it will treat it as a different / new vehicle and display ""Save a new vehicle" window";

 Option unchecked — the program checks the entire database regardless of the active company.

 
click to expand/collapseAfter reading the driver card data insert 1-minute work at each place entry

Some enforcement authorities may qualify the country entry event (made by the driver on the tachograph) during a daily rest as an interruption of the rest. As a result, this may lead to an infringement.

While downloading data from the driver card the program:

 Option checked — for each country entry event inserts a minute of work, which is treated as interrupting the continuity of the daily rest;

This option only works when downloading data!

If you have downloaded the data and you want to enable generating working minute, then download the data from the driver card (source file) again.

ferry/train - exceptionally the above option is not taken into account when analyzing daily rest periods on the train / ferry.

 

 Option unchecked — will not put in a minute of work, which will result in the country entry event not interrupting the continuity of daily rest.

Be careful - if you turn this option off, the sections will be permanently deleted from the program database.

After turning the above option on, working minute will not be generated - you must download the data from the driver card (source file) again.

 

 
click to expand/collapseAsk for confirmation when disc type or disc center is being changed

If this option is selected, the program, after changing the type and/or centre of the record sheet, when you try to close the window, will display a message about the change, asking if you want to save the record sheet.

 
click to expand/collapseSave detailed speed data from digital tachograph

click to expand/collapseEnable assistants

If the option is checked, it is possible additionally to assign each disc and each day from the driver's card to a so-called assistant (see: Record sheet preview/edition window -> Basic data, View/ edit a day from a driver card window -> Preview and data edition and Daily visualization", Settings: TachoScan -> Default).

 
click to expand/collapseApproximate km for activities from driver cards

If a driver drove the same vehicle and did not withdraw the driver's card and the tachograph recorded several driving events on a given day, then there would be no possibility to read what length the driver negotiated during individual driving events.
After marking this option, the program will count an approximate length negotiated by the driver during each of driving events alone. Approximation shall be visible in the report: "Weekly control of driver's working and resting time".

The digital tachograph records the km counter in a driver's card in several instances:

•directly on inserting the driver's card in the tachograph,

•directly before withdrawing the driver's card from the tachograph,

•when the event is added manually using the tachograph (e.g., driving on to the ferry),

•at 00:00 UTC.

 

•Calculate the km driven on the basis of the detailed speed (may cause slower program operation) - if this option is checked, the number of kilometers traveled, calculated on the basis of registered detailed speeds (if the Detailed speed data option is checked during downloading), will be displayed in the activities tab of the driver's daily chart window.
