Vehicle CAN Bus (VCI) Baud Rate

The software will display four selectable baud rate input values: 1 Mbit/s, 500 kbit/s (default), 250 kbit/s or 125 kbit/s. A custom option is also available where you can select a specific setting.

If the CAN Mode is set as 'RACELOGIC MODULES MODE' and the CAN Bus Mode is set to 'Internal', the software will select the Racelogic baud rate of 500 kbit/s. This is not changeable.

CAN Bus Mode

These options are only displayed if the CAN Mode is set as 'RACELOGIC MODULES MODE'.

  • Internal: This mode should be selected when Racelogic input modules are connected to the VBOX. In this mode, the CAN IDs and Baud Rate are non configurable. The baud rate will remain as the Racelogic baud rate of 500 kbit/s and the IDs are set to the standard message set.
     
  • External: This CAN mode should be used when VBOX CAN data output is to be used by an external CAN device such as a data acquisition system. In this mode the attributes of the CAN output stream are configurable by the user via the Transmitted Identifiers menu.
