off.

4. Allow the VBOX 3i time to acquire satellite lock (this should take no longer than a few minutes) before moving

off to log data. It is good practice to do this at the beginning of your day; after you have done this satellites will
be instantly picked up and locked onto, even after periods of the power being switched off or overhead
obstructions blocking the view of the sky.

If the VBOX3i has not been used for a long time or if it was last used many miles from its current location, it
may take time to find satellite lock. If this situation arises perform a

GPS Cold start

to reset the GPS engine.

5. The

SATS

LED

will be lit solid

red

when no satellite lock has been obtained, once the VBOX 3i gets a lock on

visible satellites, the

SATS

LED

will flash

green

/

orange

to indicate the number satellites. At a normal test

track facility you should expect to see between 7 – 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.

Note: 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 km/h and stop recording when the vehicle’s speed goes below 0.5 km/h.

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.

Note: If the IMU integration feature of the VBOX 3i is to be used refer to this article ‘

IMU Integration

’.

Important

- Do not remove the CF card or power down whilst the CF LED is flashing. If you need to

remove the card or power down whilst the CF LED is flashing, then press the LOG button first to stop
the VBOX logging. Failure to do so will result in data loss or corruption.
