The Digidown Plus can also be programmed to name the files
vuxxxxxx.ddd and cdxxxxxx.ddd for use with software which only
accepts ddd files. Whatever the file names, the contents of the
downloaded files are exactly according to the digital tachograph
regulations.
Choice of Batteries
Two AA-size batteries are needed to power the unit when downloading
tachograph cards direct into the unit. When downloading data from a
VU or reading the SD card via the USB port then the internal battery is
disconnected and power is taken from the VU/USB port.
The Digidown Plus is designed to be used with alkaline batteries. A pair
of cells will generally be good for downloading tachograph cards some
2000 times before needing replacing.
Other battery types may be used provided that they supply in the region
of 1.5V per cell. The Digidown Plus takes a very small current whilst
operating. There is therefore little merit in using alkaline cells designed
for high-current applications.
Rechargeable cells may also be used, e.g. nickel cadmium (Ni-Cd) or
nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH), but users need to be aware that many
types of rechargeable battery do not perform well in low current
applications and may self-discharge in a few weeks. There are also
potential difficulties when they have been used a few times as the
capacity of one cell can end up quite different from the capacity of the
other. This will result in the battery life being much shorter than
expected.
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.
