03 Front Panel - VBOX 3iS Single Antenna (v1)

This setting will perform a coldstart of the GNSS Engine.

You can find more information here.

This setting lets you change the sensitivity of the GNSS engine.

You can find more information here. 

For high dynamic applications such as brake stop testing.

Suitable for all other testings.

For less dynamic applications, such as steady state speed measurement or coast-down testing.

Sets the DGNSS mode.

Differential GNSS is off. 

SBAS differential corrections are received from the nearest Geo-stationary SBAS satellite.

RTCM corrections are received by the VBOX 3iS via a Racelogic telemetry module and a locally placed Base station. Contact Racelogic or your local agent for more details.

This setting configures the DGNSS baud rate. 

To make sure that VBOX 3iS receives the DGNSS correction signal, you must set the correct DGNSS rate. All Racelogic blue boxed radios use 115200 kbit/s, and Satel grey boxed radios use either 19200 kbit/s or 38400 kbit/s.

Note: Increasing this value will reduce the number of satellites the VBOX will be able to use.

This setting lets you change the elevation mask, which is selectable from 10 to 25°. 

f the testing area has nearby trees or buildings, you may benefit from increasing this value to reduce the effect of multipath.

This setting enables IMU integration.

This action will add IMU channels to CAN ID 31B and 31C.

This setting specifies whether the speed sensor will be using its in-built IMU or an external IMU.

Note: This option is only presented when the IMU integration is 'Enabled'.

This setting specifies whether you are using a roof-mounted IMU from Racelogic or not.

When it is 'Enabled', it will automatically add a 1 m z-offset, translating the filtered speed down into the vehicle towards the centre of gravity. The 'Ant to IMU Offset' will become 'Ant to Ref. Offset'.

Note: This option is only presented when the IMU Location is set to ‘External’.

This setting allows wheel speeds to be passed into the Kalman Filter.

If the unit cannot detect CAN data, you will see a Warning Message on the front panel.

Note: This option is only presented when the IMU integration is 'Enabled'.

This action will add the Wheel Speeds channel to CAN ID 31D. 

This setting specifies the x_y, and z distances between the antenna and the wheel speed reference point. 

The reference point is the centre point between the rear wheels.

You can find more information here.

Note: This option is only presented when Wheel Speed Input is 'Enabled'.

When Roof Mount is 'Disabled' - Provides the x_y, and z offset values from the antenna to the Speed Sensor/IMU that is required for the Kalman Filter algorithm.

When Roof Mount is 'Enabled' - Becomes 'Ant to Ref. Offset' and provides the x_y, and z offset values from the roof-mounted IMU to the nominated reference point where all measurements will be made.

Select the orientation of the VBOX 3iS side facing down. This is only applied once the IMU menu is exited to the Main Menu. When the orientation is changed, the Kalman Filter is reset.

Note:

• This option is only presented when the IMU Location is set to ‘Internal’.
• If you use an invalid combination of sides facing down/forward, you will see an error message when you exit the IMU menu. 

Select the orientation of the VBOX 3iS side facing forward. This is only applied once the IMU menu is exited to the Main Menu. When the orientation is changed, the Kalman Filter is reset.

Notes:

• This option is only presented when the IMU Location is set to ‘Internal’.
• If you use an invalid combination of sides facing down/forward, you will see an error message when you exit the IMU menu.
   

Auto Level - Begins the process of levelling the IMU calculated Pitch and Roll Angles. Once selected, the unit averages the pitch/roll angles over a 5-second period and will then subtract/add the averaged values to make the pitch/roll angle 0. This offset will be displayed on the main screen.

Clear - Clears the current pitch/roll offset values.

Auto Level - Begins the process of levelling the IMU calculated Pitch, Roll and Yaw Rates. Once selected, the unit averages the rates over a 5-second period and will then subtract/add the averaged values to make the rates equal to 0. These offsets will be displayed on the main screen.

If the IMU location is set to External and the unit cannot detect an external IMU, it will display an error message.

Clear - Clears the current offset values.

 

In this setting you can select the CAN baud rate at which the data will be transmitted from the unit.

Enables or disables the CAN Termination. 

Determines the rate at which data is sent out via CAN.

Defines what the digital input will be used for, either a brake trigger or as a lap pulse.

Used to start brake trigger tests.

Enabling this mode allows the Digital Input to be used as a lap pulse.

The input switch can be used to set a start/ finish line, set a separate finish line, set a split line, clear all virtual lines, and perform a coldstart.

Press and release the input switch.

GNSS speed must be greater than 5 km/h and the virtual line will be perpendicular to the direction of travel.

Press and hold the input switch for more than 5 seconds.

GNSS speed must be greater than 5 km/h and the virtual line will be perpendicular to the direction of travel.

Double-press the input switch.

For this to register, the GNSS speed must be greater than 5 km/h and the virtual line will be perpendicular to the direction of travel.

Short press followed by a long press (more than 1.5 s).

Ground the input at the same time as connecting VBOX 3iS to power.

Defines the digital output of the Speed Sensor.

Sends a configured number of pulses per m.

Sends a pulse every time the start/finish line is crossed.

Start Speed - Defines the start speed at which the test will begin (100 km/h by default).

End Speed - Defines the end speed at which the test will end (0 km/h by default).

Auto corrected - This sets the speed sensor to use the nearest rounded 10 km/h speed when the trigger is activated.

For example, if the trigger speed was 104 km/h, then 100 km/h would be the nominated start speed for the corrected brake stop distance.

Value - 85 km/h by default.

Defines the width of any gates set (25 m by default).

Defines the minimum amount of time needed between triggers for the second trigger to be valid. If a trigger is detected before this time, it will be ignored (1 s by default).

Defines the width of the pulse emitted when crossing a lap or split timeline (1 s by default).

Determines whether the 'Split Time' CAN channel is either the total lap time at the split cross or the delta time between split lines.

SF - Split or Split - Split

Select this option to disable the Robot mode. 

Select this menu option to set the VBOX into Open Loop ABD mode, for use in Robot vehicle testing.

Select this option to configure the VBOX for use with an ABD Pedestrian robot.
