Up to 20 additional channels can be recorded by connecting to a combination of input modules via CAN.

A truly versatile product, the VBOX Mini features a 10Hz GPS log rate to SD card, and a back-lit LCD screen for real-time analysis in four modes: lap timing, performance, drift, and speed. Incorporated into the VBOX Mini is a temperature calibrated yaw sensor allowing for measurement of vehicle drift accurate to one degree. The performance mode includes a large array of standard and configurable tests, whilst the lap timing mode allows for immediate display of split and lap times. An average speed function is included in the speed display mode.

Data is logged in binary format to the supplied 256Mb SD card which can provide up to 200 hours of continuous data acquisition. In addition to the data recorded onto the memory card, data from the VBOX Mini can be output via a direct PC link in real time for live viewing in the included VBOX Tools software.

To further enhance the VBOX Mini, an optional Input/Output module is available for collection of data from external signal sources such as throttle position or engine RPM.

The ideal product for long-term evaluation and testing, the VBOX Micro features a user-configurable log rate from one sample per minute up to 10Hz; an IP rating of 66 (splashproof); logging to compact flash card; USB interface; and CAN interface to either VBOX modules or the vehicle itself.

The small form factor, ruggedness and flexible logging rates make the VBOX Micro ideal for durability testing, motorcycles, boats, mining trucks and race cars.

The 10Hz SPEED SENSOR is sealed to a rating of IP66 and features a 10Hz GPS engine together with user-configurable digital and analogue outputs. NMEA messages are available from the RS-232 serial output, together with a virtual lap beacon output. Data output on the CAN Bus of position, velocity and time allows for easy integration into most motor sport and testing applications.

The DGPS Base Station is a complete differential correction system designed to provide local corrections for improved GPS accuracy. A radio link is used to send correction information to a VBOX where it is processed and used to improve the positional accuracy. 40cm, 20cm and 2cm options are available.

An application note evaluating the benefits of increased positional accuracy can be found here.

The Q1 Display System is supplied pre-loaded with a tablet PC specific version of the VBOX TOOLS analysis software for instant, in-vehicle viewing of the acquired data. The unit features the full functionality VBOX TOOLS with the added benefit of a “button text on/off” option to maximise screen space and comes supplied with a mounting cradle to affix the unit to the vehicle windscreen for ease of viewing.

Large character VBOX LCD data display with integral backlight. Up to four user- configurable VBOX CAN parameters can be displayed on screen at one time. Supports display of the parameters from CAN based VBOX modules. Also includes brake test functions such as MFDD, distance from brake trigger activation and lap timing functions. There is also a target screen indicating how far the vehicle is from a user defined parameter. A thermal printer is available (RLVBACS026) which can produce hard copy results.

The perfect partner to VBOX dataloggers. Featuring a bright, daylight readable display, the OLED is fully waterproof, and features sharp graphics and simple operation for easy in-vehicle use. The display has the ability to show a range of parameters, with an internal accelerometer to flip the display orientation for mounting flexibility. The OLED display can also start and stop logging in conjunction with some VBOX models.

The VBOX File Manager is designed to enhance the use of the VBOX III data logging system by giving user control of file names and file creation. User control is via a push-button rotary adjuster, and the system can be used in left hand or right hand operation (screen can be flipped). The File Manager can also be used to carry out configuration of the VBOX III.

The Micro Input Module is a highly cost effective unit that can accept one RPM and four analogue signals via a removable screw terminal.

Compatible with every VBOX and Racelogic perfromance meter, this product is an ideal solution if only a small number of parameters are to be logged.

The Mini Input Module is a versatile unit that enables a VBOX to log a number of analogue, digital and thermocouple input signals. The module can accept eight analogue, two digital and two thermocouple inputs. When used in conjunction with a VBOX MINI, the MIM01 can also output one digital and one analogue signal. Connections are via a removable screw terminal.

A 4-channel frequency capture and pulse counter unit. It accepts frequencies in the range of 1Hz to 20KHz, and the input circuit for each channel can accept a wide signal amplitude range from TTL sensors up to the higher voltages created by inductive sensors.
