04 VBOX Setup Overview
Introduction
This is a general overview of the VBOX Setup software, connected to the VBOX 25 Hz Speed Sensor (v2), and its functionality. You can use the VBOX Setup Software to configure your VBOX unit. It provides greater functionality in comparison to using the Front Panel.
Connection
To configure a VBOX Speed Sensor unit, it needs to be connected to a power source and a computer.
You must use the VBOX Setup software to configure the unit. Use the supplied loom, connect the SERIAL lead and connector to the computer's serial port – you can also use a serial-to-USB converter if necessary.
IMPORTANT
Microsoft Windows 7 SP1 or newer is required (must be compatible with .Net Framework 4.7.1)
Once physically connected and powered, open the software and use the drop-down list to select the correct COM port that your VBOX unit is connected to. VBOX Setup automatically connects to the selected device and enters the setup screen for your unit.
