Confirm the Selected Track #

Performance Box Touch has an inbuilt track database containing a vast number of circuits throughout the world.

The unit will display the currently selected track based on the GPS location.

If a location has multiple available track layouts, you can change the selected track in the Lap Timing Settings as explained below.

If there are no local tracks available, you can create a start/finish line manually on when you are on the track as described below.

How to Change the Track Layout #

1. Make sure that the Display Mode is Lap Timing.
2. Tap Settings → Lap Timing to open the Lap Timing Settings screen.

1. Tap Select in the Track section to view a list of available track options based on the detected location and tap on the required track layout to select it.

NOTE

If you are not in the vicinity of a known track, you will not be able to select a track layout.

1. Tap the Confirm button in the bottom right corner to confirm your selection and return to the Lap Timing Settings screen.

Refer to the Lap Timing Settings page for more information.

IMPORTANT

When the selected track is changed, all existing lap timing values will be cleared and new lap timing gates will be used.

How to Update the Track Database #

Occasionally, Racelogic will release new versions of the Track Map Database to introduce new circuit maps, new start/finish lines, and to update older tracks with new layouts.

The Track Database installed in Performance Box Touch will be updated whenever you upload a new firmware file onto the unit.

You can, however, update the Track Database manually in the Lap Timing Settings.

1. Download the latest Track Map Database file (.tbd or .bdb) from the VBOX Motorsport Website.
2. Place the file on the root directory of the SD card (not in the media or any other folder).
3. Power up the Performance Box Touch unit.
4. Insert the SD card into the card slot on the left-hand side of the unit.
5. Wait for the unit to boot and go to Mode → Lap Timing → Settings → Lap Timing → Track Database.
6. The unit will load the file.
   
   This will update the tracks list but not overwrite any existing track information. 

The progress of the update process will be displayed via the LEDs; each lit LED will represent 25% of the process with all LEDs extinguishing when the process is complete.

When you see 'Database Loaded' on the screen, the file has been loaded successfully.

How to Manually Set a Start/Finish Gate #

Performance Box Touch will by default use the start and finish gates from the selected track layout.

You can manually set a new Start Gate at a required location while driving on the track.

The manual start gate will override the start gate saved in the selected track layout and will function as the only active start or start/finish gate until you either reload the track layout or select a different track layout. Reloading the track layout will restore the original default start/finish gates from the track database.

There are two ways to set a new Start Gate on Performance Box Touch:

1. With the Secondary Lap Timing Screen (basic lap timing) displayed on Performance Box Touch, tap the screen once when you are in the required location.
   
2. Open the primary Lap Timing Settings screen, drive to the required location on the track and tap the Set button in the Set Start Gate option.

Performance Box Touch will display a New Start Line Set progress screen.

Complete the Process

Wait for progress screen to close, and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.

When you have set a manual start gate, this will function as both the start and the finish gate until you set a separate finish gate.

Refer to the Lap Timing Settings for more information about the manual start gate option.

How to Manually Set a Separate Finish Gate #

Performance Box Touch will by default use the start and finish gates from the selected track layout.

You can manually set a new Finish Gate at a required location while driving on the track.

The manual finish gate will override the finish gate saved in the selected track layout and will function as the only active finish gate until it is deleted or the track layout is re-loaded or changed.

There are two ways to set a new Finish Gate on Performance Box Touch:

1. When the Standing Start option has been enabled in the Lap Timing Settings, you can set a new finish gate directly from the Secondary Lap Timing Screen (basic lap timing) by tapping the screen once when you are in the required location.
   
2. Open the Primary Lap Timing Settings screen, drive to the required location on the track and tap the Set button in the Set Finish Gate option.

Performance Box Touch will display a New Finish Line Set progress screen.

Complete the Process

Wait for progress screen to close, and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.

Refer to the Lap Timing Settings for more information about the manual finish gate option.

Load Start/Finish or Finish Line Gates #

In addition to using the start/finish gates set in the track or manually setting new gates, you can also load previously saved gates.

1. Copy the required gate file(s) to an SF LINES folder on the SD card.
2. Insert the SD card into the Performance Box Touch unit.
3. Go to Settings → Lap Timing → Lap Timing Gates.
4. Tap Load.

If there is only one file in the folder, the unit will automatically load it.

If there a more than one file in the folder, select the required file from the list and tap the Confirm button.

When the new file is loaded, all existing lap timing values will be cleared and the new lap timing gates will be used.

How to Create a Reference Lap #

Performance Box Touch needs a reference lap to calculate Delta-T and Delta-V lap timing values for Lap Timing Mode.

By default, Performance Box Touch will automatically begin the process of creating a reference lap once it detects that it is crossing the set Start Gate on the selected track.

If it has been configured to use Standing Start mode, it will begin the process of creating the reference lap when it detects movement.

The reference lap will be completed when Performance Box Touch detects that it is crossing the set Finish Line (the set Start/Finish Line or a Separate Finish Line).

Lap requirements to qualify as a reference lap:

• The lap time must be longer than 20 seconds.
• The lap distance must be greater than 100 m.
• The maximum speed achieved must be greater than 40 km/h.
• The lap distance must be longer than half of the stored reference lap distance.
• The lap time must not exceed 43'40.00".

When Performance Box Touch creates a reference lap, it will display a 'Creating a Reference Lap' message in the Delta-T section on the Primary Lap Timing Screen, and the reference lap section will show a rolling lap time. The LEDs will also be illuminated in blue during the creation process.

The reference lap will be retained after each power cycle.

Updated Reference Lap

Performance Box Touch will automatically update the reference lap in the following situations:

• If it logs a faster lap.
• If the lap distance is more than double the stored reference lap
  (unless the Reference Lap has been fixed in the Lap Timing Settings).

Load a Reference Lap

In addition to creating the reference lap on the track, you can load a previously saved reference lap into Performance Box Touch in the Lap Timing Settings.

1. Make sure that the required reference lap (.ref) file is saved in the REF LAPS folder on the SD card.
2. Insert the SD card with the .ref file into Performance Box Touch.
3. Go to Lap Timing Mode → Settings → Lap Timing and swipe left to move to the secondary Lap Timing Settings screen.
4. Locate the Reference Lap option on the right half of the screen and tap the Load button.
   
   Performance Box Touch will display a list of all .ref files found in the relevant folder.
   
5. Select the required file and tap the Confirm button in the bottom right corner.

Refer to the Lap Timing Settings page for more detailed information about the available settings.

General Speed Display Configuration #

Speed Display requires minimal configuration.

In addition to the General Configuration, you can configure the speed display to suit your requirements.

Open the Speed Settings to configure:

• The number of decimal places shown in speed values.
• The level of smoothing applied to live speed data.
• How average speed is calculated.
• The target speed and associated alerts.
