Getting started with tachograph! Let's get started. Open the Tachograph menu in MyGeotab by either selecting Compliance, then Tachograph, or searching for Tachograph in the menu. Select which type of tachograph data you want to view. For this overview, let's start with Files. Welcome to Tachograph RDL! Use the Remote Digital Download module to manage your fleet's download status and company cards. The Status page tracks the remote download status for all fleet vehicles and drivers. Here, you can view the last update time, next scheduled download date, device communication status and more. We recommend weekly checks to keep the data updated and schedule new downloads, including for the same day. The Downloads page centralises your legal files, sorted and ready to download for analysis. From here, you can switch between vehicle and driver files. Track downloaded files and their status. Lastly on this page, you can bulk download tachograph files or upload new ones. The Company cards page shows all cards connected to the system. Here, you can see active cards and their expiry dates to ensure compliance. The Settings page lets you customize tachograph file download parameters and preferences, ensuring fleet compliance and efficiency. Let's explore a few of the settings.
