The CAN menu contains settings for selecting channels, CAN inputs and CAN bus settings.

Select channels to log This area lets you choose the source and type you are using for your CAN channels. Source You have 3 source options for the CAN channels: Vehicle database (default) The Racelogic Vehicle CAN Database contains hundreds of different signals for many different makes and models of vehicles. Racelogic module You can log data from other Racelogic modules, such as ADC, IMU, YAW, FIM and TC modules. Note: In order to communicate with Video VBOX units, Racelogic modules must be set into Timed CAN mode. For more information on how to do this, please see the user guide for the module in use. User configurable This will cause a button to appear labeled ‘Load database’. Select this button to load your own CAN database file (.REF, .DBC, .VCI). The channels will then appear for you to select.
Vehicle/ECU details When you have selected Vehicle database as your source, you can click on the Vehicle/ECU details dropdown menus to see lists of the available vehicle makes and models and select the one that applies to you.
Tick channels to log After selecting the Source, you will see a list of available channels you can log. Tick the tick box for a channel to select it.
CAN Inputs - X remaining This area will display the selected inputs along with the remaining available inputs. You can click on the Export button to export a .ref file containing the selected channels. Click Clear all to remove all selected inputs.
CAN connection information If it is available, the software will provide you with CAN connection information for the vehicle you have selected.
CAN bus settings Baud rate You can change the CAN baud rate in this area. The default baud rate is 500 kbit/s, but you also have the following options: 100 kbit/s 125 kbit/s 250 kbit/s 500 kbit/s (default) 1 Mbit/s Terminated The VBOX HD Lite contains an active termination between 0 Ohms and 120 Ohms. You can enable/disable the CAN termination by ticking or un-ticking this setting box. This is disabled by default.
