Data Loggers & Speed Sensors

The VBOX is a powerful instrument used for measuring the speed and position of a moving vehicle. It is based on a new generation of high performance, fast update rate GPS receivers, and will measure acceleration, braking distances, slip angle, lap times, cornering forces and much more. Due to the small size and simple installation procedure, the VBOX is ideally suited for use in cars, bikes, off-road vehicles trucks, earth-moving equipment and boats. The VBOX can be combined with many different input and output modules, making it a very powerful data acquisition system. Representing the 3rd generation of GPS data logging systems from Racelogic and using a powerful new GPS engine, the VBOX III can log GPS and other data at 100 Hz. It includes 4 high-resolution analogue input channels and 8 user configurable CAN channels to log data directly from the vehicle. In conjunction with a DGPS Base Station the VBOX III can achieve 40cm positional accuracy. A further upgrade is available which achieves a positional accuracy of 2cm using RTK techniques and an RTK base station. Up to 32 additional channels can be recorded by connecting to a combination of input modules via CAN. The VBOX III is also available as a speed sensor without logging facilities, allowing data to be sent to an external data acquisition system.
