  2. Using VBOX Setup Software, navigate to 'Channels' and then select 'Internal A/D'.
     
  3. Click on the channel 'VB3i_AD1' to bring up the channel properties menu.
     
  4. The properties will then need to be changed to match the calibration certificate supplied with the sensor. 
  • Name: Rename to something such as 'BrakeForce' so that you can easily identify the channel later
  • Units: N
  • Scale: Calculated Output Slope value from the calibration certificate
  • Offset: Zero Offset value from the calibration certificate
     

IMPORTANT - Each sensor is different and will require different scale and offsets.
