5. ENGINEERING USE
This section gives specific instructions on how to
use the VC4000 for General and Engineering
use.
User Type
When you first receive your VC4000 the User Type will be set
“General” which displays all available data. To limit the displayed
data choose one of the other user types. See User Types in Setup
for more information.
Do not use this unit in violation of federal, state or local laws. For
safety reasons the driver should never press any keys on the
VC4000 while the vehicle is in motion. If observation and operation
of the VC4000 is required from a moving vehicle, use a separate
observer/passenger. Please buckle up and drive safely.
Mounting
The VC4000 does not have to be level to get accurate results. It
uses a 3 axis accelerometer and calculates the
vector sum
of all 3
axis to calculate G force, speed
and distance. G “Summation 3D
(XYZ)” must be on in Setup. It is
on
by default. See page 76 for
details. Mount the VC4000 so the display is roughly facing the back
of the vehicle, or so the x-axis is roughly along the front to back line
of the vehicle.
