As the name suggests, MFD Touch is controlled by the capacitive touch screen.
Generally, the different areas of the screen contain the following:
- Top bar – indicative status information
- Main area – data display and settings information
- Bottom bar – function buttons
MFD Touch 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 status indicators, a display area, 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.
Add, remove and customise screens as required.
MFD Touch uses data display screens to present live data from the connected VBOX system.
Each screen contains one or more elements (such as gauges or numerical values), which display individual parameters, such as speed and distance.
- Swipe left or right to move between display screens.
- Long-press an element or parameter to access its settings.
See the Data Display Screens section for details on each screen type and available settings.
When the unit starts for the first time, the 6 numerical screen will be displayed by default.
Use the Add/Remove screen to manage the data display screens available on the MFD Touch.
Tap the navigation button(s) in the footer or swipe on the screen to access the Add/Remove screen before/after the available data display screen(s).
The name of the current Data Display Screen will be shown in the left corner of the header.
If you enable IMU Integration in the connected VBOX unit, MFD Touch will display the current IMU Kalman Filter status of that connected unit.
The Kalman Filter Status Indicator will match the status of the IMU LED on the VBOX unit's front panel.
PODUCT LIMITATION
The Kalman Filter Status Indicator will only appear when MFD Touch is connected to one of the following VBOX units:
- VBOX 4
- VBOX 3i ADAS
- VBOX 3i
- VBOX 3iS
