Configuring the Video VBOX LITE to use a Micro/Mini Input Module
The Video VBOX LITE can be connected directly to a vehicle CAN bus (with the correct cable), if this is not possible you
can connect various vehicle sensors such wheel speed sensors, RPM, throttle etc.
Selecting Input Module channels for use with the Video VBOX LITE
If you own a Video VBOX LITE and want to use a ‘Mini Input Module’
or ‘Micro Input Module’, first make sure the VCI box is not checked
under the ‘Video VBOX Type’ menu under Scene properties.
Under the ‘CAN and module configuration’ there are two drop-down menus
available called ‘Mini Input Module’ and ‘Micro Input Module’.
Under these tabs are all of the available channels of the Input
Modules. Initially all of the channel buttons will be greyed out,
this indicates that the parameter is currently not associated to
an Element in the scene and not being logged to the VBO file.
To use an Input Module channel with an element select either ‘Mini input module’ or
‘Micro Input Module’ from the parameter source list when creating the element. The
list of Input Module channels will then become available for selection in the
parameter drop down list.
An Input Module parameter will be automatically logged to SD
card if used in an Element, the button will then become
coloured. (left)
By clicking on the parameter button the Name, Units, Scale, Offset, Min
and Max values can be edited. After making any changes to the Parameter
set up the ‘Apply’ button should be pressed.
In the example on the right the ‘Log’ check box is greyed out as the
parameter is being used with an element and so is logged automatically.
