Speed Sensor Dual Antenna
(VBSS100SL)
19/11/2014
The Speed Sensor Dual Antenna (VBSS100SL) is a
100Hz GPS/GLONASS system, which combines high
level accuracy and test repeatability with the ability
to measure slip and pitch/roll angles at 100Hz.
Data is present on multiple outputs such as CAN,
RS232, Analogue and Digital lines.
The VBSS100SL can be used for non-contact sensing
of velocity providing signal output data on CAN,
analogue and digital, allowing easy integration with
data loggers and testing applications. The analogue
output can be assigned to vehicle speed, lateral
acceleration, longitudinal acceleration, or lap
beacon marker with user selectable scaling. The
digital output can be configured as either a digital
speed pulse output or a lap beacon marker.
With only 13cm in length , the 100Hz speed sensor is easy to mount and transport, making it ideal for automotive
testing, motorsport, marine, and telematics.
The VBSS100SL comes with a VBOX Manager, which enables the user to setup the dual antenna separation, change
the dynamic modes, level and align the antennas.
