question

This maybe of help, as well

All this can be info retrieved using the VRM including the Assistant settings and you can then change them and send them back to the multi. There are also forum postings on how to do this

Thanks @Paul B

I did the first 'txt' dump using the installers laptop and VE.Configure as I only use Mac on the vessel.

I use 'Crossover' to run Windows based files although not successfully to actually program a Multi (yet).

Using your above referenced VE.Configure on VRM I am able to 'Download' the file to my laptop with the file 606... / extension .rvsc

6064054cc9f1_inst_ttyO5_Interfaces_Mk2_Tunnel.rvsc

Using Crossover I am able to get VE.Configure 3 running and using a 'dummy' target get the options to 'load' a file but it does not recognise the .rvsc extension.

Any suggestion?

Answer:

On MacBook Pro (10.14.3) Mojave using Crossover Version 18.1 (18.1.0.31718). For those that are not aware 'Crossover' allows most 'Windows-based' applications to run on a MacOS environment. This is a paid version using a version of Wine but is supported and they have a large database of various 'applications' which are fully supported by Crossover.

Log onto VRM. Navigate to your Device List and scroll down to Remote VE.Configure. As per the Victron video the 'host' will connect to your local site (configurations of the VenusGX are required to allow 2-way remote communication.

Download file using VRM VE.Configure (saved in 'Downloads' of your MAC profile.

Open Crossover and then launch VE.Configure3 (having previously 'installed' this into its 'configured files'. The standard VE.Configure splash is launched and checks for updates. Select the 'fake target from file' option (not the Com port). Navigate to the downloads and select the 6... rvsc file. VE.Configure opens and it appears at first glance that these are the current settings of the MultiPlus 24/5000 on board.

Print these settings... select to print and then try to close that window without necessarily printing the file. You are then prompted with an option to 'save' these settings - select yes and then ensure that you know where you save the file. This is not obvious because Crossover creates an entire 'environment' under /Users/Crossover/.... so it took a while to understand that the initial prompt to save to 'Desktop' was not my normal desktop but the '/crossover/desktop'.

You can then open the file using any text editor.

All loaded fine for me

Also I had one problem when exiting as it wanted to save the file and the file was marked Read only so I had to change the security on that file to RW otherwise it would not save and a error occured
