I have a VP-X Pro talking to my G3X panel. I also wired an ammeter shunt between the alternator and the main power bus. The purpose of this is so the G3X can tell me how many amps are going through the VP-X and how many are coming off the alternator. The difference is the current flow to or from the battery.
At first, I wired the GEA 24's "shunt 1" pins for my ammeter shunt. In trying to configure the display, though, it seems that the VP-X current meter can only be selected as Main Bus on shunt 1 and Aux Bus on shunt 2. So today I moved the pins on the GEA 24 over to shunt 2.
Unfortunately, I can't get the configuration to work. I can select the VP-X as the shunt 1 data source and I can call shunt 2 my Alternator Amps. But each time I configure one of these, the other one is reset to blank.
Is there a configuration option I am overlooking or getting wrong to be able to display both the VP-X and shunt amps?
