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. Available with a 20 Hz or 10 Hz update rate, the VBOX II SX features a high contrast screen display, SD card logging, and USB interface. When used in conjunction with a DGPS base station the VBOX II SX can achieve positional accuracy of 40cm; an upgrade can see this improved to 20cm. Both versions feature a CAN interface for connection to all VBOX modules, along with a digital input, analogue and digital outputs and a serial interface. Up to 24 additional channels can be recorded by connecting to a combination of input modules via CAN. The VBOX II SX is also available as a 20 Hz speed sensor with no logging facilities, allowing data to be sent to an external data acquisition system.
