Inputs/Outputs
Connection to VBOX
The Multi- unction Display has 2 LEMO connectors at each end. The top left and top right connectors share the same
function and are used for connection to the VBOX CAN bus and to supply power to the display. The bottom left and
bottom right connectors are serial connections. The function of these connectors is to allow firmware upgrade via a PC
and to provide connection to a thermal printer for instant paper record of test results. Also in the serial connectors is a
digital output, which will either send a pulse or toggle its state when a split line is crossed.

Mounting
The M display is supplied with a windscreen suction mount. This can be connected using the ¼ 20 fitting on the rear
side of the display. Make sure the hole on the rear of the display that is used for the buzzer is not obstructed.
Note: Exposing the windscreen mount to large changes in temperature over a prolonged period of time may cause loss
of suction. We would recommend that the suction mount is removed when the days testing is complete.

02 - M D Test screens
Pre-set test screens
The eight pre-set test screens allow the user to set up eight individual test profiles that can be accessed directly and
quickly when testing a vehicle. The test that is displayed on the screen will be the test that is being conducted. At the
end of each test the time and distance for the test is displayed and printed on a thermal printer if connected. The results
of the test are also output on the CAN bus.
When you scroll to a new test the test name and start and end conditions are momentarily displayed, then the screen

When power is first applied to the display, it will revert to the last screen displayed. Then pressing one of the arrow keys
in this mode will cycle through the 13 screen layouts. Some screens will display a title page, which will timeout after
approximately one second if no buttons are pressed. The title pages are to inform the user as to which page is

Mode Screens
The different mode screens are as shown below (default setup).
Display Parameters
When viewing data Main screen 1 or 2, the user can configure the display to show either four or two parameters
simultaneously.
If four parameters are displayed at once, a two digit code is shown next to each section of channel data. A list of all the
parameter codes used by the M Display can be found on page 06 - M D Display parameter tables.
If only two parameters are displayed, then the complete description of the channel will be displayed alongside the value,
as shown above.
The setting to change between parameter configurations can be found in CONFIG DISPLAY > NUM OF PARAMS.

The parameters are split into 4 groups: General, Brake, Accel and CAN. General parameters are taken from standard
Racelogic CAN output from the VBOX. Brake parameters are commonly used in brake testing, the majority of which
require the use of a brake trigger switch with the VBOX. Accel parameters are used in acceleration tests, and CAN
parameters are from external modules connected to a CAN bus, such as analogue, thermocouple or vehicle CAN data.
