A Stoneridge Optimo 3 is a handheld to read, inspect and calibrate tachographs in the workshop. For the periodic download and analysis of DDD files you simply use your phone with VYS Tacho: the app connects to the tachograph over Bluetooth, retrieves the validated files and the analysis tool checks them against the EU driving and rest time rules.
