By inserting a Company, Workshop or Control card before attempting a
download or
Via Remote Authentication, with a mobile phone creating the link
between the Digidown Blue and the Company card connected to a PC
somewhere with an internet connection. Follow the instructions under
the section “
Setup Remote Authentication Using Mobile Phone”
before use.
To perform a download, follow these instructions:
Make sure that a compatible SD card is inserted in the device
Connect the Digidown to the 6-pin Download connector on the front of
the VU. Please note that Digidown should NOT be connected to an
analogue (chart-recording) tachograph.
To begin press any of the 3 top buttons on the Digidown Blue to
initiate the download.
If no Company, Workshop or Control card in inserted and the VU needs
authenticating the blue light next to the Bluetooth button will flash.
When this happens, press CONNECT button on the
Digidown Connect
app on your phone. Wait until Remote Authentication finishes (around
1 or 2 minutes). Once it is completed, the requested download should
start automatically.
During the VU download, the red LED by the button pressed will flash
repeatedly about twice each second. DO NOT disconnect the
Digidown or remove the SD card during a download. Doing so may
cause file errors on the SD card. The download of data from a VU can
take a considerable time, potentially more than 30 minutes. Data
download from newer VUs is generally much quicker. Downloading
using ‘Latest VU’ can reduce the download time considerably.
Wait until the red LED starts blinking briefly about once every second.
The download is now finished.
NOTE: With VDO tachographs 2.0 and later and Stoneridge tachographs 7.5 and
later a Driver Card inserted in slot 1 of a VU can be downloaded without
authentication
NOTE: The Remote Authentication method is only available for VDO tachographs
v1.3 and onwards that have front panel remote authentication enabled. You can
enable this using a DTCO Front Panel Activation Card, available for purchase from
your distributor
