 |
|
Survey from live position You can configure up to 24 vehicle points where you need them. Click OK when you are finished. You can also add a line reference point in this window. The preview window will show you your points as you add them.
This is a great way to quickly confirm that your vehicle shape is looking as expected and that your line reference points are where you want them.
Click OK when you have finished surveying your vehicle points (up to 24). |
 |
Edit Points
If you choose to edit points, the survey window will open with the already set points.
- You can edit any set point by changing the values in the X and Y boxes for each set point.
- You can delete a point by clicking on the bin icon to the right of the point.
| IMPORTANT You must add at least one ADAS object when configuring in Subject Mode. If you do not add an ADAS object, the Subject mode will be set to Disabled when you click Write to unit. |

Static Targets
|
Click Add Static Target to set up the static targets you may need. You can set a maximum of 3 static targets. Click on the bin icon to the right of any target to delete that target. Note: You can only have max 5 targets, including remote and static targets. |
 |
| You can either Load a static target from an already saved file or you can Add a static target by surveying it with the survey pole and antenna. |
  |
|
|
Set the target direction. Reverse the vehicle > 20 m (if the antenna is on the vehicle) or move the antenna >20 m in the opposite direction from the target. Click set target direction. You will see the target and the set direction shown in the preview window. |
 |
Target Options
| When you have configured one or more targets, you will see the Target Options displayed. |
 |
Reference Heading
| Click Survey to open the survey window and configure the Heading reference or Clear to delete an already configured heading reference. |
|
|
|
Survey You can either Load a heading reference or survey each position. If you want to survey the positions, move the vehicle to the first nominated point along a straight line that runs perfectly parallel to the test track (a good method for this is to get the outside front and rear tyres perfectly aligned on a marked straight line). The vehicle should point in the direction you wish to set for the heading. Click the Set Point A button. Next, you have to move the vehicle to a distance at least 100 m along the straight line, ensuring that the car is re-aligned. Click on the Set Point B button. Note: The reference heading will be generated from the bearing of Point A to Point B. Click OK to finish the configuration. |
 |
Calculate ADAS data in VBOX Target
|
When you check this box, the Subject VBOX will transmit its position to the Target VBOX, allowing vehicle separation data to be calculated directly at the Target. Notes:
|
Mirror Subject logging status in Target
|
Select this option to make the target VBOX unit mirror the logging status of the Subject unit. Note: This feature can only be used when you are testing with 1 or 3 remote targets. |
Lines
|
Lines are used to mark the edges of a road, lane or circuit during the testing. If the line you are surveying loops back on itself, for example, the centre line of a circular test track, you should add it as a Circuit Line. You can have a maximum of 3 lines at any time. You can find more information about how to survey lines in the ADAS installation and configuration guide. |
 |
Road Lines
|
Click the Add Road line button to add a new road line. You can either Load from File or Survey Road Line. Surveying a Road Line: Click on the Start Survey button to have VBOX Setup record the trajectory of the surveying antenna and plot it as a road line on the map. Click Add Single Point to add a point at the current location of the surveying antenna. Click on the Save and Continue button. This will open a preview window where you can see the surveyed line. Click OK to save the line and Cancel to go back to the ADAS menu without saving the line.
|
 |
Circuit Lines
|
Click the Add Circuit Line to add a new circuit line. You can either Load from File or Survey Circuit Line. Surveying a Circuit Line: Click on the Start Survey button to have VBOX Setup record the trajectory of the surveying antenna and plot it as a circuit line on the map. Click on the Add Single Point button to add a point at the current location of the surveying antenna. Click on the Complete Survey button when you are finished. This will open a preview window where you can see the surveyed line. |
 |
|
Before you save the line, you can relocate the Entry Point (the red dot marks the entry point) on the track by clicking on the new location on the surveyed line. If you do not move the entry point, Setup will place it at the location of the first point of the line. Click OK to save the line and Cancel to go back to the ADAS menu without saving the line. |

Configure Target via radio
|
A Target VBOX must be configured with the latest ADAS configuration to be able to calculate road line data and accurate vehicle separation data using vehicle points. You can transmit the ADAS configuration to any Target VBOX with an active radio link (LKTime-tg) Note: Adding lines to a configuration will add significant time to the radio transmission. |
 |
Configure Target by file
|
Note: This setting is only available in Subject Mode. Click this button to save the current ADAS configuration into an RCF file to be loaded into the Targets. |
 |
