VBOX IISX 20Hz 

The VBOXIISX uses GPS to allow you to perform detailed analysis of Braking, Accelerating, Handling and Circuit testing. The VBOX will fit to a car in 30s, and requires no setting up or calibration.

The system uses a survey grade 20Hz GPS engine, and utilises removable compact flash cards for storage. For more detailed information about the technology behind the VBOX, please go to About the VBOX.

Like all other VBOX's, the VBOX Mini measures velocity using the Doppler shift technique, which means that the speed output is very accurate. Included in the VBOX Mini is a large speedometer, and also a speed averaging screen. This is very useful for calibrating speedometers and also checking the speed of the vehicle between two points. The averaging process can be activated by hitting the OK button, by crossing a start line/split line or by using an external trigger (via the Mini input module). The VBOX Mini comes with a full calibration certificate which is generated on our state of the art GPS constellation simulator.

Data logger

The VBOX Mini calculates the following parameters from the GPS engine, 20 times a second:

  • Time
  • Position (x,y)
  • Speed
  • Distance
  • Heading
  • Cornering force
  • Accel/braking force
  • Height
  • Vertical velocity
  • Yaw rate

 

VBOX IISX 10Hz

The VBOXIISX 10Hz is the same as the 20Hz unit but with a 10Hz GPS Engine. The 10Hz engine represents a significant cost saving for those who don't require 20Hz capability.

 

NOW ALSO AVAILABLE IN A LOW COST 5Hz VERSION

Log Channels

The following parameters can be logged simultaneously at 20Hz:

  • Time
  • Velocity over ground (kmh/mph)
  • Lateral acceleration (g)
  • Longitudinal acceleration (g)
  • Heading (degrees true north)
  • Distance (metres)
  • Latitude (minutes)
  • Longitude (minutes)
  • Height (meters/feet)
  • Vertical velocity (kmh/mph)
  • Satellites
Outputs

Digital - Velocity 90 pulses per metre.

CAN - All parameters - 1Mbit default.

RS232 - All parameters - 115200 baud.

Analogue - Velocity 0-5v, scale 0-400kmh.

Note: Values shown are defaults. The range of the Analogue and digital outputs are fully configurable via the VBOX Windows software.

There are two different types of display that can be used in the vehicle, see displays for more information.

Inputs

Brake Trigger - Scanned at 200kHz.

Various Input Modules - The VBOX can also be connected to a number of external Racelogic modules to measure external signals such as Analogue, Digital, Thermocouple, Frequency and CAN. Racelogic also offer two inertial input modules.
