4. The program downloads the file and examines it in terms of, among others. digital signature. If
the digital signature is valid, data will be stored in the database and the file copied to the
computer. The data from the file will be displayed in the daily visualization window (see:
"Pomoc - program TachoScan / 4Trans").

"program settings".
It is also possib le to manually copy files (b ackup) from TachoReader Basic device to your computer
without the use of 4Trans / TachoScan software. To do this, use windows or other file explorer to copy the
files and move them to the desired location (TachoReader Basic is installed on your computer as a separate
drive named "PNSTACHO").
