current UTC date and time,
speed of the vehicle,
total distance travelled by the vehicle (odometer),
currently selected driver and co-driver activity,
information if any tachograph card is currently inserted in the driver slot and in the co-driver slot and (if applicable) information about the corresponding cards identification (card number and issuing Member State).
Other data may also be output in addition to this minimum list.
When the ignition of the vehicle is ON, these data shall be permanently broadcast. When the ignition of the vehicle is OFF, at least any change of driver or co-driver activity and/or any insertion or withdrawal of a tachograph card shall generate a corresponding data output. In the event that data output has been withheld whilst the ignition of the vehicle is OFF, that data shall be made available once the ignition of the vehicle is ON again.
[154] The calibration function shall allow:
to automatically pair the motion sensor with the VU,
to digitally adapt the constant of the recording equipment (k) to the characteristic coefficient of the vehicle (w) (vehicles with two or more axle ratios shall be fitted with a switch device whereby these various ratios will automatically be brought into line with the ratio for which the equipment has been adapted to the vehicle),
to adjust (without limitation) the current time,
to adjust the current odometer value,
to update motion sensor identification data stored in the data memory,
to update or confirm other parameters known to the recording equipment: vehicle identification, w, l, tyre size and speed limiting device setting if applicable.
[155] Pairing the motion sensor to the VU shall consist, at least, in:
updating motion sensor installation data held by the motion sensor (as needed),
copying from the motion sensor to the VU data memory necessary motion sensor identification data.
