Racelogic VB3iS Using Manual

Using VB3iS for Brake Stop Testing
Introduction
Modern electronically controlled braking systems are
extremely efficient and are very close to reaching the
optimum braking distances for a given tyre and road
surface. It is therefore essential that the measurement
of braking distances can be carried out with very high
distance accuracy.
VBOX 3iS can be used to conduct two main kinds of
brake stop testing; Speed Window Tests - The distance
travelled between two speeds is measured and Brake
Trigger Tests - The distance travelled from the point the brakes are pressed to a standstill.
Configuration
It is necessary to ensure VB3iS is optimally configured for brake stop testing, please follow the instructions below.
Brake Stop Test Setup
Before stop testing commences, ensure that the VB3iS unit is correctly configured for the type of brake stop being
conducted.
Speed Window Tests
Define the speed window via the
VBOX Setup Software
1. Ensure VB3iS is powered.
