Display Modes

In Speed mode, the screen will display a large clear speed value with up to 2 decimal places. You can set the speed to display in kph, mph or knots and adjust the number of decimal places in the settings: Menu -> Display Menu -> Speed Menu.

Note: To start or stop data logging on the VBOX unit, press the OK button when in Speed mode.

In max speed mode, the screen will show the highest achieved speed value to 0, 1 or 2 decimal places.

Note: If you press the OK button the unit will reset the displayed maximum speed value.

All lap times and split times are interpolated to 0.01-second resolution.

In the Lap Timing mode, the screen can display either a live rolling lap time or a static last lap time and the lap count. You can set this in the Lap Timing Menu. 

Resolution 

All lap times and split times are interpolated to 0.01-second resolution.

Live Rolling or Static Lap Time 

In this mode, the screen can display either a live rolling lap time or a static last lap time and the lap count. You can change this in the Lap Timing Menu. 

Fastest Lap 

The difference between the new lap time and the best lap time will be shown with a + or – sign. A ‘–’ is shown when a faster than best is achieved and a ‘+’ is shown for a slower than best.

Split Time Display

If you have set up split line in the Lap Timing menu, the unit will display split times for 2-20 seconds when you cross the split line. Go to Menu -> Lap Timing Menu -> Split Time Display Period to set this up.

Setting Start/Finish Line 

You can also set a new start/finish line by pressing the OK button while in this mode. If you do this by mistake, you can cancel the action by pressing the Down button within 5 seconds.

If you also require split lines or a separate finish, use the ‘set start and splits’ option in the Lap Timing Menu.

Note: The vehicle must be moving >10 km/h before you can set a Start/Finish Line.

When you set a new start/finish line, the unit will immediately start lap timing from where the new start line was set. If you cancel the setting of the new start/finish line, the unit will retain the position of the old start/finish line and continue timing from that. 

The lap count screen will display 2 counters. On the left-hand side of the screen, you can see the total lap count – this counter can only be reset by a power cycle of the VBOX LapTimer. On the right-hand side of the screen, you can see the current laps. You can reset this by removing the logging media from the VBOX LapTimer.

Waiting for Start Line

Before you can use this mode, you need to set a start/finish line. Make sure that you have selected a track layout in the main menu or set a start line manually.

Before you cross the start line, the screen will show Waiting for start line and the distance from your current location to it.

Predicting

When you first cross the line and during the first lap, OLED Display will create a reference lap. 

The second time you cross the start line, the OLED Display starts predicting.

Fixed Lap Mode

The reference lap will be replaced with any subsequent quicker lap time.  However, you a fix a reference lap to prevent faster lap times from replacing it.

Fix the reference lap time by pressing the square button at any time during your lap. Pressing the square button will either fix the lap you are currently driving or fix a lap saved in the memory. You can choose which reference lap to fix under Fixed Lap Mode in the Predictive Lap Timing Settings.

Note: When you have fixed a reference lap, you will see a message confirming your selection on the screen and you will see a padlock icon in the top left corner.

• If you fix a stored lap the icon will appear instantly. 
• If you fix the current lap, the icon will appear when the lap you are currently driving has been completed. 
   

You can also create a reference lap with the Circuit Tools software, as described here.

Live Timing

The main predictive lap timing screen shows a continuously updated time difference with the +/- to the reference lap. When a lap is completed, it will give a final lap time and total time difference to the reference lap. If you achieve a faster time than the reference, the time difference will be negative. 

You can also enable a Delta T bar graph in the settings and select the time shown on the bar graph ( 2, 5, 10 or 30 seconds). 

This screen displays the current longitudinal g in the vehicle as a live display as well as the maximum longitudinal g reached. This helps the driver push the vehicle that little bit harder when braking.

Note: If you press the OK button, the unit will reset the displayed maximum g value (Peak g).

This screen displays the current lateral g in the vehicle as a live display as well as the maximum lateral g reached. This helps the driver push the vehicle that little bit harder in corners.

Note: If you press the OK button, the unit will reset the displayed maximum g value (Peak g).
