Displays
VBOX displays offer real-time results feedback, and can be used to set up or configure VBOX data loggers. The advantage of using a display is the speed and convenience of altering test parameters or verifying data during the procedures themselves; sometimes the ability to abort a run, often only possible when in-vehicle viewing of data is available, can greatly reduce the amount of track time required.
MFD Touch
Our multi-function touch display with a 4.3" colour touchscreen can be used to monitor data that is outputted from our 100 Hz data loggers and speed sensors. MFD Touch also calculates and presents performance test and lap timing results in real-time.
VBOX Manager
A versatile LCD unit that provides in-depth control of the VBOX 3i dual antenna setup, ADAS functions and IMU integration. It can also be used to control the logging functions of VBOX 3i, VBOX III, and VBOX IISX systems.
Microsoft Surface Pro Kit
This in-car accessories kit consists of an adjustable spring-loaded windscreen RAM Mount and data cables for connection to VBOX products. We also sell Microsoft Surface Pro tablet PC's, that can be bundled in with the accessories kit.
VBOX CAN Display
This LCD unit is capable of displaying any parameter that is sent on a CAN Bus in real-time. You can either program it with your own database, or use one that comes supplied with the unit.
Multi-Function Touch Display
The Multi-Function Touch Display (MFD Touch) is the perfect accessory for anyone using a VBOX logger or sensor (see compatible products below) who wants to monitor one or more parameters live in the vehicle.
Up to six GNSS/CAN-derived data parameters can be displayed simultaneously, including speed, heading, radius of turn, distance travelled, and any CAN channels captured or calculated by the unit (see full list of display parameters below). It can also calculate and present performance test and lap timing results live from the vehicle, with no post-processing required.
The MFD Touch features a 4.3” daylight-readable, responsive colour touchscreen that is highly customizable. Screen layouts can be configured directly on the device, allowing you to choose which channels to display for each test. Eight different screen layouts are available, displaying up to six parameters and gauges (see display layouts).
The MFD Touch also provides audio and visual alerts via the inbuilt speaker and LED status lights, indicating when a user-defined data condition or test condition (such as a target speed) has been met. This ensures the driver knows exactly when to perform a particular action, such as applying the brake pedal. The display can be mounted directly on the windscreen and comes with a heavy-duty suction cup.
Display Layouts
Use the device to configure the number of screens you need, select how you want the data to be displayed, then finally pick which channels you wish to see for each test. You can see your test data as a number, a horizontal bar graph, target graph, analogue gauge or G-ball.
Performance test and lap timing results can be viewed instantly on the 4.3” TFT screen, as well as written to an SD card.
Up to six parameters can be displayed on a single screen, such as speed, lateral & longitudinal acceleration, radius of turn, distance travelled, heading and various brake test channels.

Applications
The Multi-function Touch Display shows the test driver several different parameters and VBOX channels, live from the vehicle. The displayed parameters can be configured and changed for each test, directly on the device, making the MFD Touch the ideal display for anyone that wishes to see speed, average speed, distance travelled, number of satellites, deceleration data, brake trigger data and even radius of turn, on a 4.3” TFT colour touchscreen.
Typical applications include:
- Performance testing
- Brake testing (speed-to-speed and trigger-to-speed)
- Acceleration testing
- Deceleration testing
- Tyre testing
- Vehicle dynamics testing
- Lap Timing testing (Time between and speed at timing gates)
Display Parameters
General parameters are taken from a standard RACELOGIC CAN output.
Decel test parameters are commonly used in brake testing, the majority of which require the use of the VBOX brake pedal trigger (RLVBACS004), or Pedal Force Sensor with Event Marker Interface.
Lap Timing test parameters are used for any testing where speed at a location or time between points is important, such as Lane Change testing and Slalom performance testing.
The Microsoft Surface Pro in-car accessories kit consists of an adjustable spring-loaded windscreen RAM Mount and data cables for connection to VBOX products, allowing for the real-time monitoring of application test data. The accessories kit can also be purchased with a Microsoft Surface Pro directly from RACELOGIC if required.
Our free data analysis software, VBOX Test Suite, is compatible the with Microsoft Surface Pro and you can download the latest version from our software page.

VBOX CAN Display
The Racelogic CAN Display is a versatile tool for displaying real-time CAN data. Intended for use by both test engineers and network engineers, the CAN Display is capable of displaying Raw CAN frames and individual CAN signals from a CAN database.
The CAN Display has a free, built-in CAN database of limited signals. It covers parameters like engine RPM, throttle, and wheel speeds for the following makes: Mercedes, BMW, VAG, Porsche, Ferrari, SAAB, Nissan, Mazda, Vauxhall, Jaguar, Fiat, Alfa, Renault, Citroën, Peugeot, and Toyota.
The CAN Display also has the facility to associate database files, so if the user has a DBC format database file for the vehicle that they are working on, the CAN Display can decode and display signals from the database.
The PC software supplied with the CAN Display allows the user to read and download up to 64 signals from their own industry standard DBC format database.
As well as being able to monitor a number of parameters on the CAN Bus, the CAN Display will also output one of these parameters as an analogue voltage. This makes the CAN Display into a CAN to analogue converter, and if you use the internal database, it is a very convenient method of obtaining Engine RPM or roadspeed from a vehicle.
Control Options
VBOX CAN Display has five menu options to choose from.
- SCAN BUS: Prompts the user for a data rate, which can be selected from the menu. If the data rate is unknown, the Auto option will sample the CAN bus to determine the CAN data rate before scanning the CAN bus for a list of the current identifiers available. Once a list of the identifiers is built, the user can jump straight into the VIEW DATA display.
- VIEW DATA: Shows complete CAN frames in hexadecimal.
- VIEW DATABASE: Shows individual CAN signals stored as a database. This can be either a user specified database loaded using the software supplied or one of the built-in vehicle databases.
- SEND CAN: Sends a user configurable message on the CAN bus.
- SETUP MENU: Allows the user to change settings of the CAN Display. Setup options are: DBC OPTIONS (display options), LCD CONTRAST, ANALOGUE OUT.
Features
- All baud rates covered including user defined rates
- Normal and extended identifiers
- DBC input facility
- Internal database covering a large selection of makes
- Displays raw CAN data or database signals
- Automatically detect CAN data rate
- Scans CAN bus for list of all identifiers
