Overview

The VBOX Mini is a low cost, self-contained GPS data logging and display system suitable for a large range of vehicle testing applications. Using a high performance GPS engine, data such as velocity and position are accurately recorded at 10Hz. To further enhance the VBOX Mini, an optional Input/Output module is available for collection of data from external signal sources such as throttle position or engine RPM. In addition to the data recorded onto the flash memory card, data from the VBOX Mini can be output via a direct PC link in real time for live viewing in the included VBOXTools software.

Because the VBOX Mini uses a 10Hz GPS engine it is one of the most powerful self contained Performance Meters available on the market. You simply attach the unit to the windscreen of your car, power it via the cigarette lighter, and you are ready to carry out many different types of test. Using the built in screen you can measure many different types of acceleration test, 0-60, 0-100, 0-100-0, 1/4 mile, 1/2 mile etc. There are also a number of configurable tests, making the unit extremely versatile.

The G-force screens showing your acceleration, braking or cornering force are updated 10 times a second and the maximums can be reset by pressing the RESET button. All of these performance tests are accurate to 0.1s and 0.1kmh as the unit comes with a full VBOX calibration certificate.

If you carry out lots of detailed performance tests on different cars, then the VBOX Mini is the right tool for the job, and is used by magazines, TV companies and test departments around the world.

Lap Timer

The VBOX Mini is one of the most powerful lap timers you can buy with the added  benefit that you don't need to set up any external beacons. Because the VBOX Mini  knows where you are 10 times a second, you simply drive over the place where you  want to set your start/finish line and press a button. It then calculates the direction you  were travelling, and draws a virtual line in its memory at 90 degrees and 25m wide.  From then on it knows where your lap starts and ends and instantly displays and  records this lap time, accurate to 0.1s.

The VBOX Mini calculates the following parameters from the GPS engine, 10 times a second:

Time Position (x,y) Speed Distance Heading Cornering force Accel/braking force Height Vertical velocity Yaw rate
