Racelogic launched a new VBox VB20SL3. This new model VBox is a 20Hz GPS data-logger which can measure speed, pitch, roll, and yaw (slip) angles.
Key features VBox VB20SL3 includes an advanced triple-antenna GPS engine with 20Hz update rate for high accurate measurements of speed (0.1km/h), distance (0.05%), acceleration (0.5%), simultaneous slip, pitch and roll angle (slip angle to 0.1° rms, pitch and roll angle to 0.25° rms), yaw rate (0.1°/s), true heading (0.1°) and lateral velocity (0.1km/h).
The unit also features a bright LED display screen, CAN bus, RS232 and USB interfaces, 2 x analogue I/O’s, 2 x digital I/O’s, data logging to SD card and is fully configurable via the front panel.
A voltage input range of 6V – 30VDC, combined with the small, lightweight construction and simple installation procedure, means that the VB20SL3 is ideally suited for use in many applications including cars, bikes, off-road vehicles and especially boats.
By carefully optimizing the GPS system, Racelogic have been able to run without any other supplementary sensors and still maintain useable accuracies. The unit is supplied as standard with three magnetic patch antennas to facilitate the full range of measurements. If required, these can be upgraded to ground plane antennas.
Racelogic VBox products are distributed in Australia by Applied Measurement .
