The MFD Touch display powers via the connection to the VBOX data logger. On boot-up, MFD Touch will display a splash screen. As MFD Touch will boot quicker than the VBOX, it will display 'Waiting for VBOX' with a scrolling progress bar until the VBOX is fully booted.
MFD Touch Splash Screen
The first time the unit is booted up, it will display the 6 Numerical data screen.
The supplied SD card is in a FAT32 file format, the only file format supported by MFD Touch.
If you wish to purchase a new SD card, we recommend that any card used has a write speed of more than 7 MB/s (4 MB/s absolute minimum) and a speed class of 10 (4 absolute minimum). We recommend SD cards from quality brands, such as Transcend, SanDisk, Kingston or Lexar, to ensure the best results possible.
You can find more detailed connector information on the Pinouts page.
