BMV-712 terminology and understanding the data

It would be much better if the manual included some definitions of the terminology and how to interpret the data. Also, indicating calculated versus measured values.

Further, the last status data should be retained in the display along with some recent history and trends data so that it's possible to study the information offline.

Have you read the online manual for it? There are very extensive descriptions of how it works, the calculations that are performed, the settings and what they do, and etc. in the manual - they're in the printed version too, but it's easier to search the online manual and click through all the various links to other associated information.

There is also an absolute wealth of information in Victron's free book "Wiring Unlimited" if you needed a bit of a refresher course in electrical calculations, terminology, and the like!
