Quick Start Guide

1. Connect the power via the Power socket.

2. Insert the SD card into the Side of the Unit. The SD Card Icon should display as green as long as the card has free space.
    
3. When the unit has booted, select the Mode Button and press ACCEL if it is not already selected.

7. Select which Accel screen you would like to be shown (Primary, Secondary or Best Result) by selecting the Forward and Back arrows on the bottom right of the screen or by swiping the screen left or right.

8. Select the Settings Button, then the Accel option and choose the Start and End Parameters of the 4 concurrent tests, by default these are 0–60, 0–100, 0–100–0 and 0–¼ mile.
    
9. If you would like an audible and visual alert when the Primary test is completed or the target speed is met within a 0-Speed-0 test, enable Alert at End/Target within the Settings.
    

10. If you would like the tests to start once 1 ft or 0.305 m distance has been covered, enable One Foot Rollout within the Settings.
    
    Note: Cannot be used in conjunction with Slope Correction.
     

11. If you would like to apply DB Scanner slope correction method to the tests, enable Slope Correct within the Settings.
    
    Note: Cannot be used in conjunction with One foot rollout.
     

12. If you are intending to use the serial output from the top CAN/Serial port to conduct Online Testing with VBOX Test Suite or output lap timing parameters, go to Serial Output within the Serial Port Settings and change the Output Mode to either VBOX Stream (live testing with VBOX Test Suite) or Lap Timing.
    
    Note: Ensure correct hardware connections are made.
     

13. Press the Exit Button to return to the Accel Test screen.
     
14. Take the vehicle outside and wait for the VBOX Touch to gain satellite lock.
    
    Note: The first time that the unit is used, it may take up to 15 minutes to fully acquire satellites. After this, it will usually take 1 to 2 minutes to acquire satellites.
     
15. The unit is now ready to display live Accel Test results.
     
16. By default, VBOX Touch will automatically start recording when travelling over 0.5 km/h, this can be changed within the General Settings.
     
17. Tapping on the SD Card Icon when green will manually start or stop logging data, overriding the Configured Logging Strategy.
     

18. The Record Icon will show when the unit is logging data to the SD card.

    If you have come to a stop, but the Record Icon is still on, press the SD Card Icon to stop the logging before removing the card.
    
    Sometimes, due to poor satellite visibility in a garage or close to a building, the box may start recording, even if the car is stationary. Always check the Record Icon before ejecting the card.

    
    IMPORTANT – The SD card shouldn't be removed when the Record Icon is on as you may lose data.

    Note: If for some reason the SD card is removed whilst still recording, it may need to be repaired using a PC before it can be reused.
     

19. A screenshot of what is displayed on the screen can be taken at any time by pressing the Screenshot Button.
     

20. To reset all test results shown on the current screen, press the Reset Button.
     

21. When you have finished your testing, completed test results can be viewed by pressing the Results Button.

9. The unit is now ready to display live Lap Timing values.

Main Screen:

• Once the start/finish line is crossed, VBOX Touch will automatically begin to create a reference lap. When a reference lap is being created, a 'Creating a Reference Lap' message is displayed within the Delta-T section and the reference lap section will show a rolling lap time. The LEDs will also illuminate blue during the creation process. The reference lap will update if a faster lap is achieved unless the Reference Lap has been Fixed within the Settings.
   
• Once a reference lap has been created, the unit presents a live difference in lap time (Delta-T) between the current lap time and the stored and active reference lap at the current location on the track.
   
• The 4 LEDs at the top of the screen provide a live reference lap speed comparison (Delta-V), varying in colour between green and red depending on whether you are travelling faster or slower than the reference lap at the current location on track. The settings for this can be changed within the Delta-V Range settings.
   

Basic Screen:

• VBOX Touch will display the current live lap time and when a new lap starts, the previous lap time will be displayed for 3 seconds before reverting to displaying the current live lap time. It is possible to just display the previous lap time by Disabling the Rolling Lap Time.
   

10. It is possible to override the detected start/finish line by manually setting a Start/Finish Line or just a Finish Line.
     
11. VBOX Touch can also start lap timing from a Standing Start if a separate a Finish Line has been set, this is particularly suitable for sprint style events.
     
12. By default, VBOX Touch will automatically start recording when travelling over 0.5 km/h, this can be changed within the General Settings.
     
13. Tapping on the SD Card Icon when green will manually start or stop logging data, overriding the Configured Logging Strategy.
