The screen will display data when the VBOX IISL - Dual Antenna is operating. It also displays all the menus you need to configure the VBOX IISL via the front panel controls.
On start-up, the display screen will show the unit’s firmware version and the current offset value.
During normal operation, the display screen displays Speed (mph or km/h) and Slip Angle, as well as the number of satellites that the VBOX IISL - Dual Antenna has locked on to, there are also three status indicators at the top of the display. Scroll left or right ( ‘◄’ and ‘►’), to display the Pitch or Roll Angle instead of the Slip Angle.

When you insert an SD card, the filename of the logged file appears on the screen while the data is being logged.
You can configure VBOX IISL - Dual Antenna units by using the front panel buttons. This makes it possible to configure your unit without the need for a computer. Alternatively, you can configure it in the VBOX Setup Software.
From the main screen, press the ’■’ button to enter the configuration screen.
Note: Entering the configuration screen will cause the VBOX to stop logging to the SD card. When in continuous logging mode, please ensure that the ’■' button is pushed prior to removing the SD card to avoid data loss.
Once in the configuration screen, press the ‘◄’ and ‘►’ buttons to highlight the next or previous choice in any menu, and press ’■’ to select the highlighted option. Most Main menus contain sub-menus, for example, the Settings and Setup Antennas menus contain separate menus for each parameter.

Press ’■’ and the ‘◄’ and ‘►’ buttons to select the required dynamics.
HIGH DYNAMICS - Essential for brake testing and lane changing maneuvers.
NORMAL - Select this for standard testing – speed, distance, etc.
LOW DYNAMICS - Select this for route mapping and similar tests where the level of the dynamic response is not important.
Press’■’ and the ‘◄’ and ‘►’ buttons to select the DGPS settings.
OFF – No DGPS applied – standard position accuracy 3 m CEP.
WAAS – position accuracy 1.8 m CEP.
40CM – position accuracy 40CM*.
20CM** – position accuracy 20CM*.Press ’■’ and the ‘◄’ and ‘►’ buttons to set the Kalman filter options.
POSITION LEVEL – Smoothes the positional data.
VELOCITY LEVEL – Smoothes the velocity data.
*Note: These accuracies are only achievable in conjunction with a DGPS base station.
**Note: The 20 cm mode requires a separate upgrade file (RLVBUP30) that you can purchase by contacting Racelogic Support.
If you want to perform a factory reset on the unit, for example, if the unit is not functioning correctly, press and hold the ’■’ and ‘►’ buttons with power supplied to the VBOX IISL - Dual Antenna. The front panel display will show an 'updating eeprom' message, notifying you of the process.
