jj: Information about the download protocol as well as about electrical and mechanical connections is in the european law linked in my other comments here.

Isaac: I’m sorry, haven’t tried downloading yet. It would be nice to have it working though, downloading with the software we have for downloading takes ages and is unstable.

Matija: Looking forward to see it

Hi, I have read given PDF and I hope I will shortly have Windows application able to read and analyze driver cards…
For now, I finished basic EF analysis and am working on detailed driver activities during recorded days.

I hope I will also make some freeware release and will post here…

Hello, sorry for responding so late. Last I checked, there was no such software. There are some web-based solutions, some quite cheap – but giving away signed data of ones driving times is imho a bad idea. I tried compiling readesm for windows – without crypto support that is possible, even crosscompiling from a linux computer works. However, explaining a command-line-program to the average windows user is a daunting task, and i haven’t had much success with creating packages. If i find the time, i’ll write a qt frontend for readesm, that should also make it easier in linux – but right now I am busy with other things.

Hi, thanks for the software, my friend needed to view some .esm files on a windows PC and I managed to use the command line to convert and pull the data into Excel, thanks a lot!
The only problem is my friend isn’t IT literate and explaining how to do this is a daunting prospect! Have you come across a freeware Windows .esm file viewer/convertor?

thanks again
Accy

Just found out it is available in several languages, for example
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2002:207:0001:0252:ES:PDF
for the Spanish version, …DE… for the German one.
