one of the holes in the bracket before the unit is attached to the

‘Download Fault 12’
When downloading data from some
SiemensVDO digital tachographs the message ‘Download Fault 12’ may
occasionally be shown on the tachograph display. This can safely be
ignored. Allow the download to finish and then press ‘OK’ to cancel the
error message.
Choice of SD Memory Card
The Digidown Plus will work successfully with most types of SD memory
card provided that they are formatted FAT16 (which Windows calls
‘FAT’). A few SD card types are unfortunately not suitable as they do
not conform fully to the SD card specification. Cards supplied by Lisle
Design are to be preferred as they have been selected for optimum
performance in this application.
Although 64Mbyte memory cards are supplied as standard by Lisle
Design (and this memory capacity is entirely adequate for this
application) larger capacity memory cards can also be used provided
that they are formatted FAT16.
SD Card Formatting
For any SD memory card to work with the Digidown Plus 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.
SD Card directory structure
The downloaded data appears on the SD card in the ‘\digidown\vu’ or
‘\digidown\card’ directory depending on download type. Each download
is labelled vuxxxxxx.esm or cdxxxxxx.crd where xxxxxx is a number
