  • Page 4 SDHC cards (2 GB to 32 GB) Supplied or purchased SDHC cards are formatted in the FAT32 file format. This format is supported by VBOX Touch. SDXC cards (64 GB and above) Purchased SDXC cards will be formatted in exFAT or NTFS file formats; these formats are not supported by VBOX Touch (please reformat as per instructions below).
  • Page 5 The first time that the unit is booted up, the Display Mode screen will be presented. Every time after this, the last used display mode will be opened. Logging VBOX Touch logs data via an SD card inserted into the side of the unit. Depending on the Logging Strategy selected within the General Settings area, the unit will either log continuously or when movement is detected (default).
  • Page 6 IMPORTANT Do not remove the SD card when the Record Icon is on as you may lose data. Note: If for some reason the SD card is removed while the unit is still recording, it may need to be repaired using a PC before it can be reused.
  • Page 7 02 Installing VBOX Touch (v1) in Your Vehicle Connectors Antenna If you are struggling to maintain a stable satellite lock, you can connect the supplied external antenna (RLACS262) to the antenna socket. You should also use the external antenna when you are doing Brake Trigger Tests.

    VBOX Test Suite via an RLCAB001 and conduct live Right Side testing, or output lap timing parameters. You can find more information about the Serial Output settings here. You can find more detailed connector information on the PIN OUTS page. Mounting VBOX Touch is supplied with a Swivel Neck Richter Suction Mount (RLACS277) for mounting onto a vehicle windscreen.
  • Page 9 with the unit. IMPORTANT • If you are conducting Brake Trigger Deceleration Tests, you should use the external antenna. • The first time that the unit is used, it may take up to 10–15 minutes to fully acquire satellites. After this, it will usually take 1–2 minutes to acquire satellites.

  • Page 10: Gps Coldstart

    Media, iframe, embed and object tags are not supported inside of a PDF. Acquiring Satellite Lock Tall buildings or trees can block GNSS signals, causing a reduction in the number and quality of satellites being tracked, leading to inaccurate position measurements and a noisy velocity signal. GNSS works best in open areas/ Avoid tree-lined roads GPS Coldstart If VBOX Touch is struggling to acquire a satellite lock, a GPS coldstart may be required.
  • Page 11 When the button has been pressed, the unit will make an audible sound and a ‘PLEASE WAIT’ message will be displayed on the screen which will count down from 3. The number of satellites will then be displayed as '00' and GPS status will show ‘SEARCHING FOR SATELLITES’...
