Multi-Function Display App

Updated on Apr 30, 2026
VBOX Touch MFD App icon

The Multi-Function Display (MFD) App allows VBOX Touch to operate as a display for a compatible VBOX unit (data logger or speed sensor). It presents live data from GPS-derived channels transmitted over CAN, delivering the same functionality as the standalone MFD Touch product.

It supports configurable display screens, parameter monitoring, and performance testing features.

The app can also calculate and display performance test results in real time, directly from the test vehicle.

When the MFD App is installed on VBOX Touch, it requires the SD card to save and load settings, store test results, and update the firmware.

When an SD card is inserted in VBOX Touch, settings are retained after power cycles, and the last used screen is restored on startup.

If no SD card is inserted in VBOX Touch, settings are not saved, and will reset when the unit is powered off.

When using VBOX Touch as an MFD, the unit is powered via its connection to the VBOX unit.

On boot-up, the VBOX Touch will display a splash screen.

When VBOX Touch as an MFD is powered on for the first time, the 1 Parameter screen is displayed. On subsequent start-ups, provided an SD card is inserted, the last used screen will be restored.


The app displays live data from the connected VBOX unit across multiple screen layouts.

  • 8 different screen types are displaying different combinations of parameters and gauges.
  • A screen can display up to 6 defined VBOX parameters, depending on the selected layout.
  • You can add up to 10 screens at a time.

Each screen includes a parameter display area, status indicators, and navigation controls.

The status indicators show information such as logging state, media status, and connection status, and the on-screen controls let you switch between display screens and navigate to the settings menus.

Navigate between screens and configure the display layouts directly within the app. You can add, remove and customise screens as required.

The Screen Name area in the screen header will display the name of the current data display screen.

You can change the name by either long-pressing or double-tapping the existing screen name.

The parameters displayed in the Parameters Area will depend on which screen you are currently on. Refer to the Numerical Settings section of this page for more information about how to configure them.

The table below contains an overview of the available parameters:

Standard parameters are sourced from the default Racelogic CAN output of the VBOX unit.

Deceleration test parameters are typically used for brake testing. Most of these require additional hardware, such as the VBOX Brake Trigger Switch or the VBOX Pedal Force Sensor with Event Marker Interface.

The app supports performance and deceleration testing using data from the connected VBOX.

Some test features require additional hardware, such as a brake trigger or pedal force sensor.

For full details on test configuration and operation, refer to the MFD Touch User Guide.


The currently installed app determines the CAN output behaviour of VBOX Touch.

When using the MFD App, VBOX Touch outputs CAN data consistent with the MFD Touch product, rather than its standard VBOX Touch CAN output. This includes performance test results and parameter data generated by the app.

CAN output is available via the VBOX Touch CAN/Serial ports.

For full details of CAN message structure, channel definitions, and scaling, refer to the VBOX Touch CAN Output page.


Before running a test, make sure that the system is correctly configured and configure the VBOX Touch MFD App:

  1. Connect VBOX Touch to the VBOX using the RLCAB005-C cable.
  2. Configure the Display Settings (SettingsVBOX Display Settings)
  3. Add the required data display screens.
  4. Configure the data display screens as required (refer to the Data Displays section for more information about the available settings for each display element).


The MFD App does not run tests itself, but displays live test data and results from a compatible and connected VBOX unit. It enables the users to monitor test progress and view calculated results in real time.

You can, however, control the logging on the connected VBOX unit via the MFD App on VBOX Touch.

The logging state is indicated by the Logging Status icon and on-screen messages.

When VBOX Touch has detected available recording media on the connected VBOX unit, you can control the logging by tapping on the Logging Status icon.

If the VBOX has been configured to log when moving, the system may display an ARMED state while waiting for the required conditions to start logging.
