Configure the Audio Sensor Input to the VBOX

When you have wired the Audio Sensor into the connector and connected it to the Analogue Input connector on VBOX 4 ADAS, you must configure the relevant Analogue input channel.

1. Open VBOX Setup and connect to the relevant COM port for your VBOX 4 unit. 
2. Go to the Channel Setup Menu and click on the Internal A/D section header.

4. Select the input channel you connected the audio sensor to by clicking on it.
   
   Take note of the channel number where the sensor was wired into the connector or trigger the Audio Sensor to identify the active channel in the preview column.
    
5. Update the channel settings to make the channel more identifiable during the test and in the report. 
   
   Give it a recognizable name, for example, Audio.
    
    
6. Trigger the Audio Sensor to confirm that it is connected and working. 
   
   You will see the signal in the graph at the bottom of the settings area. 
    
7. Update the Scale and Offset as required to make the signal display logically in the graph.
