The OLED display is the perfect partner to VBOX data logging systems.It is fully waterproof, and features sharp graphics and simple operation for quick and easy in-vehicle use.

The OLED display has the ability to show a range of parameters, including live and max speed, g-force, and lap times, and can quickly switch between display modes using the Up and Down buttons.

The display has the capacity to start and stop logging in conjunction with some VBOX models, and can also report logging status.

The unit has an internal accelerometer that flips the screen in accordance with the way it is mounted, and the option to invert screen colours or display the font as a high contrast outline to match lighting conditions makes it very flexible.

There are three versions of the display to suit a range of applications and to ensure product compatibility. The unit is available in either waterproof aluminium (pictured above) or splash proof plastic and aluminium, with options for Fischer and Lemo connectors. The display can work with VBOX 3i, Video VBOX, VBOX Micro, VBOX III, VB2SX, VB20SL, VB20SL3, and Performance Box Sport – full compatibility options are detailed in the specifications on the data sheet.




Multifunction Display (MFD)VBOX Multi-Function Display - click to enlarge

The VBOX Multifunction Display connects to the CAN port of the VBOX.

It is designed to show a large number of different variables and results on a clear backlit LCD display that can be mounted on the windscreen. There is an optional heavy duty rubber suction cup which screws into the back of the display via a standard camera tripod style fixing.

The display can be used to show velocity, distance, lap times, g-forces, temperatures, time between speeds, any CAN parameter, and many more (see below) all in real time without the need for a laptop.

In addition, the display has a target screen which shows a bargraph of any parameter, alongside a configurable target. This is very useful for maintaining a steady brake pedal pressure, or deceleration rate during a brake stop.

The Multifunction display can be setup from the display itself, or via the Windows VBOX software.
