03 - VBOX II VBOX Setup Channels

Updated on Mar 4, 2026

The Channels menu changes depending on what is connected. If a module is connected when VBOX Setup is already running, clicking ‘Rescan modules’ performs a rescan and anything new connected will show up (and anything disconnected will disappear).

A maximum of 16 channels are available and are set up by clicking on any channel box. This brings up a new window, where a CAN database file (.dbc/.ref/.vci) can be loaded using the 'Load' button or the channel can be manually defined. Alternatively, if you select the 'Vehicle database' option, you can browse the vehicle CAN database and select CAN channels specific to your vehicle. If available, CAN connection information for the vehicle will also appear on the right.

Note: Although 16 channels can be defined, only 10 channels can be selected to log to memory card/sent over serial.
