VI monitor is a multi function gauge which provides real time
OBDII engine and performance monitoring, datalogging and diagnostics
for a car enthusiast, drag racer, home car mechanic or a track day
event.
Designed and engineered in Britain by Armour Automotive, VI Monitor
works by reading the datastream from the car’s engine management system
(ECU), via the OBDII port (also referred to as "OBD 2" or "OBD-2") .
VI Monitor installs in seconds, can be moved from car to car and comes
with an easy to use touch screen, full instructions, and sophisticated
PC comparison software (VI Desktop) to allow you to analysis all of you
logged data.
As well as engine and performance monitoring VI Monitor has a shift
light, G Meter, the ability to view and reset engine fault codes and
over 500 hours of data logging.
With newer vehicles becoming more and more electronically advanced, it
is becoming harder to give the enthusiast the information they
want....VI Monitor is fun and informative to use, as well as being
accurate to within hundredths of a second - Proven in live tests at
Santa Pod Raceway.
VI is compatible with Most OBD II Compliant Vehicles*
By receiving its data via the On-Board Diagnostics v.II (OBD 2) port, VI is virtually
universal.
Key VI Features and
Benefits:
Real time monitoring of up to 15 parameters ** on 3
individual gauges
Monitor various parameters like speed, revs, engine load, water temperatures and
pressures as well as many more* on 3 individual easy to read gauges.
RPM & Speed Warnings with Shift Light
Avoid putting points on your licence with adjustable speed warnings. Use the RPM
warnings in conjunction with the adjustable Shift Light feature to get the most
performance from your engine without over-revving.
Self-damping 3 Axis G-Sensor
Highly accurate G-Sensor with built-in damping for smoothness monitors
acceleration, braking and cornering G forces. Also records maximum G readings.
Data Logging
Record hours of engine and performance data on any three parameters for review.
Then upload your runs to the computer for further comparison. Ideal for
measuring the effectiveness of engine modifications, and recording circuit or
drag race performance.
Lap Timing
Simple stop/start lap timing feature allows you to record lap times of any given
session for later comparison on computer.
Dyno Testing
Using a built-in Virtual Dynamometer, VI can test your vehicle’s true net
horsepower in real-world conditions.
Performance Tests for Both
Acceleration and Braking
Perform breaking and acceleration tests such as 0-60, 1/4 mile and 0–60–0 to
measure your car’s true performance potential. Most tests can be G triggered for
unparalleled accuracy. Each test is recorded for future comparison.
Descriptive Fault Code diagnostics
Got an Engine Check light, but don’t know why? VI will not only give you the
fault code number, but will also give you a description of the problem; arming
you with more information to take to your garage and limiting the cost of
expensive diagnostics. ***
MIL Stats
Even though VI allows you to reset fault codes yourself, it will maintain all MIL
Stats including time and distance since the engine check light was activated or
reset. ***
V.I.D. Comparison Software
VI Monitor ships with VI Application software for downloading and comparing data
off of your VI. Compare up to four Performance tests of the same type as well as
hours of logged data for unlimited parameters in Monitor mode.
Powering the VI
VI takes its power directly from the OBD-II, so there is no need to plug in a
cable to the cigarette lighter socket. Having just one cable (OBD-II) for all of
it's needs reduces clutter in the vehicle.
*Check with your vehicle manufacturer to confirm OBD II compliance. **Parameters
available dependant on vehicle. *** Dependent on vehicle
