01 - VBOX Micro Introduction
The VBOX Micro is a small, waterproof (IP66) GPS data-logging device, which records your speed, position,
acceleration and many other parameters. This data is stored on a removable compact flash card. Software provided with
the unit allows you to view and analyse all of the parameters, which have been recorded, allowing you to see how fast
you were going at any time, your maximum g-force, where you went on Google Earth and many other interesting and
useful parameters.
The fastest recording rate is 10 samples per second, which is good for capturing fast events like a sports car on a circuit,
a downhill skier or even a mountain biker. The slowest recording rate is 1 sample per minute, which is useful for more
long term testing such as vehicle endurance testing, mileage/route analysis or even the movement of a ship. VBOX
Micro logs 116 bytes/sample (default standard channels), at a log rate of 10 Hz this equates to 4.2Mbytes/hour. Using a
512 MB compact flash card, at a log rate of 10 Hz, you get around 120 hours recording, and at 1 sample per minute you
get over 3000 days recording!
The VBOX Micro records the following parameters as standard: Time, Position, Velocity, Heading, Height, Vertical
Velocity, and Accumulated Distance. You can also record other parameters, either by connecting directly to your
vehicle’s CAN bus, or by connecting a suitable external input module.
