04 Using with VBOX as Racelogic CAN Module - IMU05
|
IMPORTANT CAN-based coms from IMU05 are not supported by the Kalman filter. This means that the RLCAB005-CS connection method can only be used to log IMU05 data channels. See the following links for important information about mounting and Kalman Filter calibration: |
Required equipment
- VBOX unit such as a VBOX 3i (with firmware version 3.0 or later) or a VBOX 3i ADAS.
- Power cable or battery pack for the VBOX unit.
- IMU05 unit
- RLCAB005-CS (for use with 5 PIN CAN / SER port on IMU05) or RLCAB120 (for use with 6 PIN CAN / KF port on IMU05)
- VBOX Setup
- RLCAB001 / RLCAB066-2 - VBOX 3i PC connection cable (RS232 or USB)
Setup
- Connect the IMU unit to the VBOX unit with RLCAB005-CS or RLCAB120 cable.
- Connect the VBOX unit to a PC with an RLAB001 or RLCAB066-2 cable (RS232 or USB).
- Open VBOX Setup and connect to the VBOX 3i unit by selecting the relevant COM Port.
- Open the Channel Config menu.
- The IMU Attitude channels will automatically be logged but:
- If you want to view the CAN data live, you must have a multi-functional display (e.g. MFD Touch) connected and tick the Send to MFD box for the relevant channels.
- If you want to display the IMU Attitude data as a Live Serial data display, and you are using an alternative software to VBOX Test Suite, you must tick the Advanced box in the top right corner of VBOX Setup and tick the Send over serial box for the relevant channels.
