Data recorder

The data recorder is a component of the interlock device that records and captures the date and time of all initial breath tests and running retests, any attempts to start the vehicle, and any attempts to tamper with or circumvent the device. It also records breath sample violations, lockouts resulting from positive breath alcohol readings, and the activation of the emergency override feature. By keeping such a detailed registry of events, the data recorder creates a record and timeline of any and all uses of the interlocked vehicle which can then be reviewed and assessed by courts, probation, treatment or licensing professionals.
