Antenna

If you are struggling to maintain a stable satellite lock using only the internal GNSS antenna, you can connect the supplied external GNSS antenna to the antenna port.

The external antenna should always be used when VBOX Touch is logging Brake Trigger Tests.

D IN / PPS

The Digital In and PPS port can be used to connect a VBOX Brake Pedal Trigger when performing brake trigger deceleration tests. 

The port can also be used to connect a Handheld Start/Stop Logging Switch (RLVBACS010) to control the logging on the unit.

CAN/Serial x 2

Top Port

The top CAN/Serial port can be used for both CAN data and Serial connection.

CAN

Receive and transmit data via CAN.

Refer to the Configuration page for more information.

Serial

Output serial information, allowing you to either:

  1. Connect VBOX Touch to VBOX Test Suite (using an RLCAB001 cable) to conduct live testing.
  2. Output lap timing parameters.
Bottom Port

The bottom CAN/Serial port can be used to receive and transmit data via CAN.

Refer to the Configuration page for more information.

Power

The power port is used to connect the VBOX Touch to a suitable power supply.

The unit requires a stable power connection to operate and record data during testing.

The unit powers on automatically when connected to a power source.

SD Card Slot

The SD card slot on the right side panel of the unit is used to insert the SD card, where all logged data is recorded and saved.

LEDs

VBOX Touch has 4 LEDs above the display. These LEDs are contextual feedback indicators tied to system state, user actions, and test behaviour, and they can flash in different colours and different frequency patterns depending on the process the unit is performing.

Refer to the User Interface page for more details about the different LED behaviours.
