4.2.1 Working memory
The working memory is used for temporary intermediate storage of
all recorded and processed data.
The following procedures are processed in the working memory:
• Preparation and transferring of all recorded and legally stipu-
lated data for archiving in the data memory.
• Preparation and outputting of the requested data over the
display, download interface, or printer.
• Saving of data that is read in from an inserted tachograph card
for the time period of usage.
• Transfer of the updated data to the tachograph card and
deletion of the data from the working memory (when requested
by a tachograph card).
