SD Card Formatting
For any SD memory card to work with the Digidown it must be formatted FAT16
(which Windows calls ‘FAT’).
When a newly formatted SD card is inserted into a Digidown or Digidown Plus
and the unit is connected to a VU, the format of the memory card is first
checked. The Digidown then creates a directory structure on the card.
Two top-level directories are created:
‘DIGIDOWN’ and
‘UPDATES’
‘Digidown’ has 2 sub-directories:
‘VU’ where VU downloads are stored and
‘CARD’ where driver card downloads are stored.
This process is automatic and generally takes just a few seconds. All LEDs will be
off while the folders are being created.
Downloaded Data
The downloaded data appears on the SD card in the ‘\digidown\vu’ or
‘\digidown\card’ directory depending on download type. The Digidown unit
creates filenames in the standard EU format for each download:
VU file: M_YYYYMMDD_HHMM_AA12BBB_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.DDD
M denotes a VU file. The next 2 sections are the date and time of the download.
This is followed by the vehicle registration (AA12BBB) and identification numbers
(xxxx...).
Card file: C_YYYYMMDD_HHMM_A_SMITH_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.DDD
C denotes a card file. The next 2 sections are the date and time of the download.
This is followed by the driver name and number.
Alternatively the Digidown can be programmed to use short file name formats or
alternative long file name formats. Whatever the file names, the contents of the
downloaded files are exactly according to the digital tachograph regulations.
Upgrade of the Digidown
The software within the Digidown can be upgraded when appropriate without the
need to return it to a dealer.
Similarly the programming of the ‘Latest VU’ button can be updated without the
need to return the Digidown to a dealer. Contact your dealer for details.
