CAN / RS232 / USB Ports
The VB2SX20SPS is equipped with a CAN Bus interface, an RS232 serial port and a USB port. The RS232 port or USB is used for all communication
between the VBOX and laptop PC. The USB or RS232 ports allow the unit to be configured from a PC using the VBOXTools software. They are also able to
transmit live data from the VBOX to third-
party equipment using Racelogic’s proprietary serial data format.
Note that only the USB port is used for firmware upgrading, whilst only the RS232 socket may be used to transmit data to a VBOX LED Display
(RLVBDSP02).
The CAN Bus port is available in either the socket labelled CAN or the socket labelled Serial. See the section ‘Setup’ in the VBOXTools software manual for
information on configuring the CAN baud rate and CAN identifiers.
The socket labelled CAN also contains a secondary RS232 port for direct connection to the GPS engine. This is used for providing local DGPS corrections to
the GPS engine (requires telemetry connection to a DGPS basestation).
