There are 3 General Settings screens that contain MFD Touch settings. You can move between the screens by tapping the Forward or Back arrows on the bottom right of the screen or by swiping left or right. You can change the settings by tapping the corresponding button next to an option.
Return to the main settings screen by tapping the Exit button in the bottom left corner.
These menu screens contain units of measurement, screen settings, data and alert options.
Screen 1 of 3
UNITS OF MEASUREMENT
This setting changes the speed unit between km/h (default) and mph. Changing the speed unit will affect all visual speed parameters on all screens, the unit labels will change, and all speed values and results will automatically be recalculated. Tap the button to change the unit.
This setting changes the distance unit between metres (default) and feet. Changing the distance unit will affect all visual distance parameters on all screens, the unit labels will change, and all distance values and results will automatically be recalculated. Tap the button to change the unit.
This setting changes the acceleration unit between g (default) and m/s². Changing the acceleration unit will affect all acceleration references on all screens, the unit labels will change, and all acceleration values and results will automatically be recalculated. Tap the button to change the unit.
You can adjust the screen brightness 1 is the dimmest and 5 is the brightest. Auto (default) uses the internal ambient light sensor to automatically adjust the screen brightness. In dark conditions, the screen brightness will dim, and in light conditions, the screen will brighten. Tap the button to cycle through the available options.
You can adjust the LED brightness. 1 is the dimmest and 5 is the brightest (this is extremely bright!). You can also turn the LEDs off. Tap the button to cycle through the available options. The LEDs will preview the brightness level. Brightness level 3 is the default level.

DATA
This setting determines how the average speed parameter data is calculated.
- Moving (default): The average speed will start to calculate as soon as the system detects a speed over 0.5 km/h. Calculations will stop when the speed is under 0.8 km/h.
- Continuous: The average speed is calculated continuously from the start of the test.
This option will reset the results for the calculated average speed, the maximum lateral acceleration, and the calculated travelled distance.
When you tap this button, the LEDs will flash green and the unit will emit an audible confirmation notification.
You can cancel the resetting process by tapping the warning screen within the first 5 seconds. If the process is cancelled, the LEDs will briefly flash red, and the unit will emit an audible tone to notify that the reset has been cancelled.
The trigger input of the VBOX will always be used to generate test results when the starting condition is set to Trigger. MFD Touch can use the same trigger for additional functionality when this setting is set to an option other than Test Only.
- Test Only
No additional functionality is applied to the trigger.
- & Screenshot
When a valid trigger is detected on the connected VBOX and MFD Touch displays a data screen, an image of the current screen will be saved to the SD card in MFD Touch.
The LEDs will flash when a screenshot is captured, and a buzzer will sound when the capture has been saved to the media.
- & VBOX Log
Stop or start VBOX logging when a trigger is detected on the connected VBOX. This setting is only valid when the logging mode on the connected VBOX is set to Continuous and the MFD Touch does not display a settings page.
When a valid trigger is detected and the logging status on the connected VBOX is STOPPED, the connected VBOX will start logging (WRITING).
When a valid trigger is detected and the logging status on the connected VBOX is WRITING, the connected VBOX will stop the logging (STOPPED).
When a valid trigger is detected and the logging status on the connected VBOX is PAUSED, the connected VBOX will stop the logging (STOPPED).
- & Log Menu
Open or close the Logging Menu on MFD Touch each time a trigger is detected on the connected VBOX. This screen can only be launched when the MFD Touch is displaying a data screen.
When a valid trigger is detected and the Logging Menu screen is not displayed, MFD Touch will display the Logging Menu screen.
When a valid trigger is detected and the Logging Menu screen is displayed, MFD Touch will exit the Logging Menu screen.
- & Speed Output
When a valid trigger is detected, MFD Touch will capture speed data from when the trigger occurred and send data to a thermal printer connected to MFD Touch.
You can define a target speed that triggers a sound and/or LED alert when the selected speed is met. You can choose whether to enable or disable an audible alert (continuous beep for 2 seconds) along with a visual alert (all 4 LEDs will flash green) when the value is reached. Alerts will only show once unless the vehicle has been stationary since the last alert.
Enabling one or both of the alerts will set the target speed and also allow you to access the sub-menu where you can define the target speed condition by tapping the value box and then using the presented keypad.
Save the selected value by tapping the Confirm button in the bottom right corner. Tap the Cancel button in the bottom left corner to return to the Settings screen without saving.
Enabling the Logging Beep will make MFD Touch emit an audible alert signal when the logging state of the connected VBOX unit changes. There are different tone sounds for when the connected unit starts and stops capturing data (including pausing the logging when it is set to Log when moving).
Screen 3 of 3
The VBOX Information page is the final screen in the Display Settings menu. It displays the unit's serial number, firmware version, and hardware version.
This information is useful if you need to troubleshoot a potential issue with the MFD Touch device.
