03 - VB3i Front Panel

Buttons

VBOX 3i has two membrane buttons on the front panel, LOG and FUNC. LOG is used to start and stop logging to the
compact flash card, and FUNC is used to switch between two sample rates, 100 Hz and 20 Hz.

LOG

The LOG button will override any of the automatic logging thresholds set in the VBOX. For example, if you have set the
VBOX to log all the time, the LOG button will toggle logging on and off. If you have set the VBOX to ’log only when
moving’ and you are moving, pressing the LOG button will stop the VBOX logging and close the file on the compact
flash. Logging will now not continue even if you are moving until the LOG button is pressed again or the compact flash
card is removed and reinserted. The VBOX will then continue to log only when moving. Note that if the VBOX is using
‘log only when moving’ log mode, and the vehicle has been stationary from power-up, the LOG button will not initiate
logging. If you want the VBOX to log, you would have to use VBOX Manager or VBOX Setup to change the log mode to
‘Log Continuous’.

- Every time the logging is toggled with the LOG button, a new file is created.

- When the VBOX is logging, the the green LOG LED will be solid and the blue CF light will flash.
