Tank number if, for example, you have more than 1 equal tank (2 drinking water tanks)

Hello, I have a question about the tank sensors of the Cerbo Gx. I have 4 tanks to measure. namely 2 x a water tank, a waste water tank and a diesel tank. I also want to be able to read all 4 of these via NMEA2000. This works except for the 2 drinking water tanks. Where can I enter the tank number in the Cerbo GX?

I mean the "NMEA 2000 data instance (tank number or pressure instance)"

Sorry I found it myself

It is documented in:

Marine MFD integration by NMEA2000


Tank level data

Supported. Tank levels measured by the GX Device are transmitted using PGN 127505 Fluid Level. The Device instance as well as the Data instance, for this PGN called the Fluid instance, are both automatically numbered for each tank reading. The first tank is assigned number 0, the second tank is assigned number 1, and so forth.


And it works fine
