- 0:03hello folks uh in this video I'm going
- 0:05to show you uh how to use our video
- 0:09simulator now this is designed and
- 0:12developed by video Continental who are
- 0:14one of the UK's uh number one or the
- 0:18largest uh tachograph
- 0:20manufacturers um now this simulator is
- 0:23designed to sort of allow um trainers to
- 0:26be able to train drivers on how to use
- 0:30tackle graph using real time
- 0:32scenarios um and without having to get
- 0:36into a lorry or mess about with real
- 0:38live data so uh the the simulator itself
- 0:43is costing around £75 plus V8 uh per
- 0:47anom and uh it can be purchased from our
- 0:50website which is
- 0:51www. compliance solutions. co.uk and if
- 0:57you go into our shop you'll be able to
- 0:58purchase it from there direct or you can
- 1:01just contact us and we can arrange for
- 1:03the product to be uh sent to VI email so
- 1:07um the layout is pretty simple once
- 1:10you've logged in you see a bunch of
- 1:13different tabs over here so you've got
- 1:14various different models of tachograph
- 1:16So currently it's uh by default it's on
- 1:20the latest uh dtco 4.0e which is the
- 1:24latest Gen 2 teor graph um you still
- 1:27have the older Gen 2 as well and then
- 1:29you've got the one before that and then
- 1:31you've got dtco 2.2 with a slightly
- 1:33different layout of buttons and um um
- 1:37and pretty much functionality is pretty
- 1:38much very similar slight difference in
- 1:40the menus Etc and then you've got the
- 1:43one which is between 2012 and 2015 and
- 1:47then the older one as well so the oldest
- 1:49we've got here is dtcl
- 1:521.4 now that being said I'm just going
- 1:54to show you very quickly how the
- 1:56simulator Works uh so click on start and
- 1:59then you've got uh the welcome screen uh
- 2:03now you can start the engine obviously
- 2:05and then it basically highlights
- 2:07everything so you've got a bunch of
- 2:09cards over here you've got driver card
- 2:11which is a gen one Gen 2 company card
- 2:14and a control card um so you can pretty
- 2:16much do everything that you would uh
- 2:20normally do on a real tachograph so in
- 2:23this example I'm just going to quickly
- 2:24put the card in slot one and then it's
- 2:28going to show you exactly the same
- 2:29screen you would see on a real
- 2:31tachograph uh it's loaded the card it
- 2:33tells me what time the the last
- 2:36withdrawal was and then I can make a
- 2:38manual entry as a normal tachograph
- 2:40would ask you to do so uh obviously you
- 2:43can play around with different things
- 2:44over here you can change the modes um so
- 2:47I'm just going to leave it onr press
- 2:49okay okay okay and that's it so that's
- 2:53it that's the entry
- 2:55confirmed um you can choose this yes or
- 2:58no this is the remote date that you can
- 3:00publish if you want it um entry stored
- 3:04and um that's it we are pretty much
- 3:07ready to
- 3:08drive um so there you go so basically
- 3:11you can sort of put the taco in drive
- 3:14mode on other work paa everything you
- 3:17you you would do on a real tachograph um
- 3:20so let's just try and uh put in some
- 3:23other work at the start of the shift so
- 3:26I would simply click on the Activity one
- 3:28button until you got the crossers and
- 3:31then I can say he's been on other work
- 3:34for let's
- 3:37say say 15 minutes press okay and then
- 3:41that's recorded uh 15 minutes of other
- 3:44work now I can drive around say let's
- 3:47say you know put it on drive mode as you
- 3:50can see and then uh I can increase the
- 3:53time let's say 1 hour off drive so
- 3:55increase the time by 1 hour press okay
- 3:58and then um can stop the
- 4:02driving and it should switch back
- 4:05automatically to other work once I come
- 4:08to a stop um and then you know you can
- 4:11put various different entries so we can
- 4:13put a break entry if you want um so
- 4:17there you go rest and then another hour
- 4:19of rest right and then we can probably
- 4:22put some other work or POA whichever we
- 4:26prefer and then put that for another one
- 4:29hour and that's that's the end of our
- 4:31shift let's say quick and easy shift um
- 4:35yeah and then obviously you can eject
- 4:38the card press and hold the uh activity
- 4:41mode one and that's it allows you to
- 4:44make another entry so this is just a
- 4:47quick demonstration so I can give you a
- 4:49feel for the actual tachograph itself um
- 4:52obviously there are options to do print
- 4:54outs as well you can do print outs here
- 4:56press okay yeah and that's the actual
- 4:59print out so it gives you very realistic
- 5:02uh information the shift that we've just
- 5:04completed as you can see um it's good to
- 5:07sort of you know get the drivers
- 5:08familiar with everything um you know so
- 5:12yeah so that's pretty much our um
- 5:15simulator like I said you can purchase
- 5:17it on our website or you can give us a
