CAN Gateway can be connected to VBOX Video HD2 via a RLCAB006 (included in package) in order to record data from a vehicle CAN Bus and a Racelogic module/Racelogic Tyre Temperature Sensors at the same time. If Racelogic Tyre Temperature Sensors are being used, it can either be connected to the VEHICLE or MODULE socket, dependent on whether a VCI or Racelogic module is/ isn't being used.

It also allows the connection of an OLED Predictive Laptiming Display.

Add a new scene or select a previously saved scene by selecting the 'File' button.
Navigate to the 'Settings' button and select the 'CAN' menu.
Select 'Enable CAN Gateway' from within the 'RACELOGIC CAN Gateway' area and then set the desired Racelogic Bus Rate from the drop down menu.

When you have finished configuring your scene, save the scene file to the SD card using the 'Save to SD' button.
A popup will appear, stating that the settings must be updated on CAN Gateway, click 'OK' to continue.

The CAN Gateway file location will automatically open, click 'Select Folder' to save the GWCONFIG.RLC file to the unit.
Power up the VBOX Video HD2 unit with cameras connected.
Load the SD card into the front panel - the OK LED will flash green fast as the scene is loaded.
The HD2 will double beep when the upgrade is complete - the OK LED will change to solid green.

Note: If a Racelogic module is connected, it must be configured to 'Timed mode' via VBOX Setup software, more information can be found here.
