The “ProgDate”

“Progdate” is a kind of taximeter programming based on   me events. This means that is possible to de

 ne a period 

of   me during which a par  cular ac  on is performed by the taximeter. 
The 

M1 MDT

 meter can be programmed with up to 50 Progdate records, every one with di

 erent ac  va  on   mes or 

ac  on to be performed.

The ac  va  on date of every record can be one of the following:

•  

from a start date to an end date

•  

a speci

 c date of every year

•  

a speci

 c day of every month

•  

some speci

 c days of every week

It is also possible to specify a   me period during the ac  va  on days, de

 ned by a start   me and an end   me (for 

example from 12.00 to 15.00 to iden  fy the peak hour).

When the Progdate is ac  vated, a programmed ac  on is performed by the meter. Some are pre-de

 ned, with 

 xed 

meaning, some other are referred to the 

M1 MDT

 programming ques  ons. These are the possible ac  ons codes, with 

their meaning:

Night Time 

= ProgDate 1

Holiday Time 

= ProgDate 2

ac  ons iden  

 ed by Ques  on 63 to Ques  on 73 of the meter programming.  

= ProgDate 3

ac  ons iden  

 ed by Ques  on 74 to Ques  on 84 of the meter programming. 

= ProgDate 4

ac  ons iden  

 ed by Ques  on 85 to Ques  on 95 of the meter programming. 

= ProgDate 5

ac  ons iden  

 ed by Ques  on 96 to Ques  on 106 of the meter programming. 

= ProgDate 6

ac  ons iden  

 ed by Ques  on 107 to Ques  on 117 of the meter programming. 

= ProgDate 7

ac  ons iden  

 ed by Ques  on 118 to Ques  on 128 of the meter programming. 

= ProgDate 8

Maintenance Expired 

= ProgDate 14

Winter / Summer Time  

= ProgDate 15

Dimmer Time 

= ProgDate 16

logo to print (only with 

Printer Due

 / 

Tre

                     and speci

 c 

 rmware releases)  

= ProgDated 17 to 28

Ac  ons related to the programming Ques  ons can be an absolute or rela  ve block jump, a cost percentage or delta 
di

 erence in the costs, or other similar ac  ons.

Please refer to the 

M1 MDT

 manual (Programming parameters chapter) for a detailed explana  on of the e

 ects of 

every speci

 c one.

It is possible to program a tari

  in advance, by wri  ng its parameters in a not ac  ve block of the tari

  grid.

This pre-programmed tari

  can be ac  vated at the   me and date speci

 ed by a progdate, using the absolute block 

jump ac  on or rela  ve block jump ac  on, so that the execu  on could jump to the block of the pre-programmed tari

 .
