If any one needs a PVI-Mon program that does dual inverter or single for the Conext TX and Zantrex GT inverters my son developed one that will display both at the same time with all of the logging etc, screen capture also. No need to run GT view in seperate windows, Conext view will not display dual inverters. PVI-Mon will do system total of inverters connected between them with Zanbus. Does not interfere with the ComBox operation on the Zanbus.
Managing attachments isn't working? Looks like Win8.1 IE Blocking me.

Attachment not found.

PM me and I can send PVI-Mon.exe file @ 676k or answer any other questions
Haven't tried it but will work on Fronius with the serial card, auto detects inverter type. Working on Fronius IG3000 with Serial Easy Card

    Nifty and awesome!

    I'm currently using my wet ware and keyboard, to intergrate every other day, the data from
    MS web server in a MPPT 60
    ComBox (XW-6048
    and soon, I'll be adding another array under the control of a Midnight 250 which will be another set of datapoints to remap.

    Any suggestions to automate 3 different data streams
    Powerfab top of pole PV mount | Listeroid 6/1 w/st5 gen head | XW6048 inverter/chgr | Iota 48V/15A charger | Morningstar 60A MPPT | 48V, 800A NiFe Battery (in series)| 15, Evergreen 205w "12V" PV array on pole | Midnight ePanel | Grundfos 10 SO5-9 with 3 wire Franklin Electric motor (1/2hp 240V 1ph ) on a timer for 3 hr noontime run - Runs off PV ||
    || Midnight Classic 200 | 10, Evergreen 200w in a 160VOC array ||
    || VEC1093 12V Charger | Maha C401 aa/aaa Charger | SureSine | Sunsaver MPPT 15A

    My son is the programmer, he has a full time job in IT at a banking company. Built program for me because of limits of SG-View not working with new Conext TX inverter (SG Needs a product code update to it by Solar Guppy) and Conext View can only run one occurrence on a pc and won't display multiple inverters and lacks ability to extract and log necessary information needed, like the watts hours output at each log interval. Schneider tech didn't seem to hold much hope for updates and improvements to there viewer.

    so he built me a better mouse trap so to speak. Has everything I needed plus lots more features. He is even working on adding real time graph display of selected parameters.
