# Tachograph and compliance

For tachograph-capable vehicles, these blocks let you **remotely retrieve digital tachograph data as DDD files** and have them emailed automatically, supporting compliance with driving-time and rest-period regulations.

## What are DDD files?

DDD files store detailed information from a digital tachograph about driver activities, including driving hours, rest periods, and potential compliance violations. The frequency of downloading and the retention period are regulated by law. In the EU, for example, DDD files are typically downloaded about every month from the driver's card and about every three months from the vehicle unit, with a mandatory storage period of about one year.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Navixy supports the **download functionality** of DDD files. Navixy doesn't process them in any way and doesn't read any data from them.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://navixy.com/docs/user/guide/devices-and-settings/tachograph-and-compliance.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
