1 Target Vehicle ‘Duplex Mode’ (CAN Hub)
To allow Vehicle Separation parameters to be calculated the at the Target Vehicle as well as the Subject Vehicle for 1 Target ACC, AEB, BSD or FCW tests when using a CAN Hub, please follow the steps below:
IMPORTANT: These instruction only apply if you are using using a CAN Hub, if you are using splitter modules, please follow the instructions here.

In this mode, all of the Vehicle Separation parameters are also calculated at the Target Vehicle. This is facilitated by creating a ‘Duplex’ ADAS radio link between the Subject and Target Vehicle. This is NOT possible in '2 Target' mode. The channels calculated in the Target Vehicle are the same as the channels calculated by the VBOX in the Subject Vehicle. They are not new channels calculated in opposite respect; Target to Subject. Duplex Mode Benefits

VBOX Manager Configuration
Data at Target
To activate Duplex mode (1 Target only), ensure that the 'Data at Target' option under the ADAS ‘Subject' menu using VBOX Manager is 'Enabled'.
- Connect VBOX Manager to the VBOX within the Subject Vehicle.
- Enter the 'SETUP' menu of VBOX Manager.
- Select the 'ADAS' option from the 'SETUP' menu and ensure '1 Target' is selected.
- Ensure that 'Subject' is selected within 'ADAS Function'.
- Scroll to ‘Data At Target' and ensure that 'Enabled' is selected.
Sync To Target
When in Duplex mode, the target VBOX has to understand which contact points have been set in the subject vehicle. To do this, the user must have a valid radio link between the two VBOXs and then select the ‘Sync To Target' option under the ADAS ‘Subject' menu using VBOX Manager.
- Repeat steps 1 – 4 in section ‘Data at Target' above.
- Scroll to ‘Sync To Target' and press to confirm.
Selecting this option will transmit all the subject vehicles settings to the target vehicle, allowing live data to be displayed in the target vehicle.
Logging
It is possible to synchronise the logging of both VBOX’s in this Duplex mode.
- Connect VBOX Manager to the VBOX within the Target Vehicle.
- Enter the 'SETUP' menu of VBOX Manager.
- Select the 'VBOX' option and scroll to 'Log Mode'. Ensure that 'LOG CONTINUOUSLY' is selected, if it is not, select the menu and choose the option.

The logging of data at the Target vehicle will stop and start in sync with the VBOX Manager control.
Note: If you stop the logging with the ‘LOG’ button on the Target VBOX, you will overwrite this auto-logging control.
