Configuration
Many aspects of the VCS can be configured, for example when the recording 
starts and stops, and which gauges will be included on screen. All settings are 
stored in a configuration file on the laptop. 
Changes to the configuration are performed offline, i.e. without the laptop 
communicating with the VCS. The changes, saved in the configuration file, 
must be sent to the VCS recorder before they take effect. See Sending and 
Retrieving Configuration Files. 
To make changes to the configuration file or to create a new configuration, 
click Config to open the main configuration window. This allows you to 
configure the following attributes of the VCS: 
• Video 
Settings
• Audio
Settings
• On Screen Display Setup 
• CAN 
Interfaces
• Start/Stop Recording Controls
Configuration Templates
A number of configuration templates are included in the software. These files 
are configured according to frequently used settings. In most cases they can 
be used directly, but if required, they can be changed to your preferences. 
The following configuration templates are available: 
• Autostart – No gauges – No PIP 
• Autostart – Gauges – No PIP

connecting to a 'hundred series' ECU

The configuration templates include all CAN receiving messages.
