Displays

There are two different types of display that can be connected to the VBOX, an LED display, and an LCD display.

LED Display
The LED display connects to the Serial port of a VBOX and can be used to display the following parameters:
  • Velocity (Km/h or Mph)
  • Longitudinal Acceleration (g)
  • Lateral Acceleration (g)
  • Satellites in view
  • Height

It comes with two rubber mounting cups.


Multifunction display  
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 bar graph 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. (mfd-setup.gif)
