        GTS Data Logger

The PerformanceBox is suited to:

  • Straight-line performance: 0-60, 0-100, 60-130, 60-0, 0-100-0, 1/4-mile etc.
  • Horsepower calculation: calculate both wheel and flywheel HP.
  • Lap Timing: using GPS, there is no need for an external lap timing beacon. Accurate to 1/10th of a second.
  • Speed and Compass display: use it as a super-accurate speedometer, updating 10 times per second, to calibrate or verify your vehicle's speedometer.

No matter how you use the PerformanceBox, it logs your speed, position, G-forces, and distance to its memory card ten times every second for detailed analysis in the included software.

View your performance and lap data on the PerformanceBox's built-in display, and log all your data to the SD memory card. Saved data files can easily be stored and compared, to see the difference between cars, drivers, parts, or setups.

PerformanceBox Vbox - the best way to measure the performance of your car

Not only is the new PerformanceBox the most sophisticated Performance meter on the market, but it is also one of the simplest to use, with many features normally found only on professional test equipment. You can quickly measure the acceleration, braking and cornering performance of your car without having to set anything up beforehand, and there is no need to perform any calibration. Because PerformanceBox is based on GPS, you get so much more for your money than just a simple performance meter.

PerformanceBox uses a GPS system with an update rate of 10 samples per second, which is the fastest GPS engine in its class. From this you get a very accurate speed (±0.1kmh), cornering g-force, acceleration g-force and a very accurate distance measurement (±10cm in 400m).

PerformanceBox is based on VBOX technology, which has been used all round the world by the majority of motor manufacturers for a number of years to measure speed, distance and aceleration.

Sample screens

Using PerformanceBox as a performance meter could not be simpler, you connect it to your cigar lighter socket, wait a few seconds to get GPS lock, put it into 'Performance Mode' and drive!

To swap between the 6 different performance meter screens, simply press the up and down arrows.

Performance ranges and units are fully user adjustable, which means if you want to measure a specific acceleration or deceleration range, for example 35-65, then this is very easy to do.

Performance meter features

  • Speed kmh or mph

  • Distance metres or feet

  • 4 accel ranges - 2 adjustable

  • 2 decel ranges - 2 adjustable

  • 4 distance ranges (1/4 mile etc)

  • 1 foot rollout option

  • Peak g-force

  • Top speed

  • Average speed

  • SD card logging

Quarter mile testing

Using PerformanceBox to measure your 1/4 mile is very easy, simply scroll the screen to the 1/4 mile screen, and then go! The elapsed time and trap speed are then both displayed in real time on the PerformanceBox screen. You can choose to make this measurement either with or without the NHRA 1 foot rollout method.

The 1/4 mile times measured by PerformanceBox are accurate to within 0.1s. After an acceleration run, you can download your data from the SD card and overlay a previous run to see where you lost or gained time.

Who uses the PerformanceBox?
PerformanceBox Vbox - the best way to measure the performance of your car

PerformanceBoxes are now being used by to measure acceleration, lap times and Drift Angles by many car and bike magazines.

The BBC program Top Gear have been using one during filming, and so have Jason Plato and Tiff Needell in the new series of Fifth Gear on channel Five.
 
Using the supplied software and SD flash card, you can download the speed/time/distance/acceleration data from PerformanceBox via USB and analyse it using the PerformanceBox Tools analysis software:
Vbox Graphical analysis of acceleration file
Vbox Data table linked to graph screen
Another very powerful feature is the ability to export your PerformanceBox position files to Google Earth, allowing you to plot your vehicle's path onto a satellite image of the area.
