No Media 

If you do not have an SD card inserted in your VBOX data logger, the OLED Display will show a "No Media" message while the vehicle is moving at speeds of 5 mph or less. This makes it easier for you to make sure that you have an SD card inserted before you start your logging.

Installing the DSP04 OLED Display

Display connection

When you are setting up the DSP04 OLED display with a VBOX Video HD2 or a Video VBOX Pro, it is important that you connect to the correct port on the OLED display. The serial connection on the OLED display is on the lower connector only. (When you hold the unit with the buttons on the right-hand side and the logo in the correct orientation).

VBOX Video HD2

To connect to a VBOX Video HD2, connect the cable to the ‘CAN/SER’ port.

Display Modes Overview 

The DSP04 OLED display has different display modes, which you can access by using the  ▲▼ buttons on the unit.

Even if you choose not to display it, the data displayed on each screen is always calculated by the connected VBOX data logger at all times (with the exception of Delta-T which is calculated by the DSP04 OLED Display). Click on the name of each mode to find relevant setup information.

 Menu Options

You can access the OLED Display menu by pressing the square button when the ‘Menu’ screen is displayed. You can navigate the menu with the ▲▼ buttons. VBOX OLED Display DSP04_05_Menu.png

Scene Selection

Specified

You can load up to 8 user-defined scenes by placing them in the root folder of an SD card and inserting it into the connected VBOX data logger. All the required scenes must be loaded at the same time. Every time you load scenes to the VBOX data logger, they will overwrite those previously saved on the unit. You can select the scene on the DPS04 OLED Display. If there are scene files on the VBOX data logger, a screen will prompt you to select a scene when you power up the DSP04 OLED Display.

If you press the ▼ button when you see this prompt, the DSP04 OLED Display will show you a list of available scenes.

Once the DSP04 OLED Display is powered and in use, you can access the scene selection through the main menu.

Note: If you are using a VBOX Video HD2, selecting a scene will make the 'OK' light will flash amber and the OLED Display will read 'Installing scenes, please wait'. The unit will automatically power cycle itself if needed after scene installations. .

Default

Each VBOX data logger has a default scene included within the firmware. Press the square button when this option is highlighted to use this scene.

Back

Press the square button with this line highlighted to exit the Scene Selection menu and go back to the main menu.

 VBOX OLED Display DSP04-scene_selection.png

Track Selection 

When the connected VBOX data logger has acquired satellites, it will check the GNSS location against Racelogic’s track map database and load the available layouts.

Where a track has multiple layouts, you must use this menu option to select the layout you are driving, as this allows the DSP04 OLED Display to load the correct start/finish line(s). 

If start/finish lines are not available for your location, you can set them manually.

Back

Press the square button with this line highlighted to exit the Track Selection menu and go back to the main menu.

  

View Lap Times

The DSP04 OLED Display will store all the lap times from your current session (maximum of 99 lap times). The lap times will be cleared when you set a new start line or when you reset the lap timing data.

Back

Press the square button with this line highlighted to exit the Lap Times and go back to the main menu.

Clear Lap Times

Selecting this option will wipe all stored lap times from the DSP04 OLED Display’s memory. It will automatically take you back to the main menu after clearing the history. VBOX OLED Display DSP04_05_lap_timing_hisory_cleared.png

Predictive Lap Timing Settings

Bar Range 

This setting alters the amount of +/- time shown on the bar graph during lap prediction. You can choose either 2, 5, 10 or 30 seconds.

Press the square button when the bar range is highlighted to scroll through different time options.

 VBOX OLED Display DSP04PLT_settings-Bar_range.png

Delta-T Speed Mode

  

When enabled, this mode will change the Predictive Lap Timing display to show your current speed as well as Delta-T information, when your speed drops below a specified threshold for a set amount of time.

This function is optimised for use with both 'Virtual safety car' conditions and Pit Lane speed limits.

The Delta-T Speed Mode is disabled by default. The default settings are:

Speed: 65 km/h
Time Delay: 1.5 seconds

The display will return to the Predictive Lap Timing mode when your speed increases to 5 km/h over the configured Delta-T Speed Mode value.

For example, if you have set your DSP04 OLED Display to Predictive Lap Timing mode and you have enabled Delta-T Speed Mode;

  • When your speed drops below 65 km/h for a minimum of 1.5 seconds, the display will change to show your current speed alongside your Delta-T.
  • When your speed increases to 70 km/h, the display will revert to Predictive Lap Timing Mode.

 Press the square button to toggle between the available time values. Each time you press the button the value will increase in increments of 0.5 s, up to 5.0 s, before it cycles back to 0.0 s. Press one of the arrow buttons to move away from the setting and save the displayed time.
Back
 Press the square button with this line highlighted to exit the Delta T Speed Mode settings and go back to the Predictive Lap Timing Settings.

Transfer Ref. lap to...

This feature lets you save a reference lap for future use. Insert an SD card into the connected VBOX data logger and use the following menu options:

MENU > PREDICTIVE LAP TIMING SETTINGS > TRANSFER REF. LAP TO XXX, and press the square button.

Once selected, a message will appear on the DPS04 OLED Display to confirm that transferring the reference lap to the SD card within the connected VBOX data logger has been successful.

Note: The vehicle must be stationary to make this transfer.

 VBOX OLED Display_transfer ref.lap to....png

Load Ref. Lap from...

To load a reference lap file stored from a previous session, put the desired file onto an SD card and load the card into the connected VBOX data logger. The file must be named OLED.REF and placed in the root directory of the SD card. Select the following menu options:

MENU > PREDICTIVE LAP TIMING SETTINGS > LOAD REF. LAP TO XXX, and press the square button.

Once selected, a message will appear on the DPS04 OLED Display to confirm that loading the reference lap from the SD card within the connected VBOX data logger has been successful.

Note: The vehicle must be stationary to make this transfer.

Minimum Lap Time

This setting allows you to set a minimum time for laps, making shorter laps invalid. Invalid laps will not be counted in the lap count, appear in the lap times or used as a reference lap. 

Press the square button to change the minimum lap time. You will see two arrows (up and down) appear next to the number. Use the two arrow buttons on the device to increase/decrease the minimum time. Press the square button again to confirm your selected value.

Fixed Lap Mode

Press the square button to toggle between the available settings:
Fix Current and Fix Stored. 

Note: When you have fixed a reference lap, you will see a message confirming your selection on the screen and a Padlock icon will appear. If you fix a stored lap the icon will appear instantly, if you fix the current lap, the icon will appear when the lap has been completed. 

 VBOX dsp04- PLT_settings-fixed_lap_mode.png
Fixed Stored
 When you have selected this option, pressing the square button in while in Predictive Lap Timing mode sets the reference lap that is currently stored in the memory as the fixed reference.
Fix Current

When you have selected this option, pressing the square button while in Predictive Lap Timing mode sets the reference lap once the current lap is completed.

Note - if you choose to fix the current lap, this should override any Minimum Lap Time setting as you are making the decision to set the current and full lap as the reference.

Back

One Shot Mode

When one shot mode is enabled, timing will start when movement is detected, after being stationary for more than 10 seconds. This will automatically reset when the user comes to a stop. After 2 seconds of being stationary, the screen counts down from 5 then shows 'ARMED – Start when ready'.
