Introduction
The VBOX3i represents the 3
rd
generation of GPS data logging system from Racelogic. Using a powerful GPS engine,
the VBOX3i can log GPS and other data at 100Hz. The logged data is stored directly onto a compact flash card for easy
transfer to a PC.
The VBOX3i also includes 4 high-resolution analogue input channels to record data from external sensors and 2 CAN
bus interfaces to allow connection of Racelogic input modules while simultaneously transmitting GPS data on the
second bus.
In line with previous VBOX models, the VBOX3i is compatible with all of the existing peripherals including the
multifunction display, ADC03, TC8, FIM03 and YAW rate sensor. To use the IMU integration feature of the VBOX3i an
IMU03 / IMU04 module is required.
