5.
The „GPS‟ LED will be lit solid red when no satellite lock has been obtained, once the VBOX 3i gets a lock on visible satellites, the „GPS‟ LED will flash
Green to indicate the number satellites. At a normal test track facility you should expect to see between 7 and 12 satellites being received by the VBOX 3i.
When the VBOX 3i has a lock on 4 or more satellites then the VBOX 3i is ready to use.
NB:
If fewer than 7 satellites are consistently seen the position of the GPS antenna on the vehicle may not be ideal, or the nature of the test surroundings
may not be ideal; see troubleshooting section on antenna positioning.
6. Now simply drive the vehicle. In the VBOX 3i
‟s default mode it will log all data when the vehicle is moving at a speed above 0.5 Kmh and stop recording
when the vehicle‟s speed goes below 0.5 kmh.
The blue CF LED on the front panel of the VBOX 3i will flash to indicate when data is being logged to the CF card.
7. When you have finished your first test with the VBOX 3i come to a halt, wait until the blue CF LED stops flashing before removing the CF card. Logging can
be stopped at any time by pressing the „LOG‟ button to close the current file.
NB: If the IMU integration feature of the VBOX 3i
is to be used refer to the ‘IMU Integration’ section later in this manual.
