Hi,
Does someone have comments on using boB's varimax in beta firmware?
Any input greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Here is a Video I did on it. Mind you I had less than 2 hours to play with it but I think it explains it well?

Mike, did you also upgrade your MNGP Remote before doing the VMM ??

[MikeJ]

Bob  Yes I upgraded both then did a powerdown and restart that is when the "OCP! Off" showed up then after reading here did the "VMM"
and it was gone till the next day did the "VMM" it it went away and now its back.

Thanks Mike

boB, I've the same problem as Mike with this update on my Classic 200, same message OCP IS OFF!
What's that? What does that mean?
Mike, what is VMM?
Thanks

EriK, VMM is Vulcan Mind Meld (Star Trek saying ) done by Mr Spock...

Eric,
You're going to laugh but I've never seen Star Treck movies 
It should be sunny today (at this time we have one sunny day for a week), so rather than doing VMM, I have preferred to re-install the 1043 FW waiting for boB to translate us this error message.

Try powering off the classic and MNGP and turn it back on again and see if it retained that setting.
Maybe it isn't saving ??

What mode are you running ?  Solar, wind or hydro ??

[MikeJ]

Running on "Solar" So far it has not came back. We will see when it wakes up in an hour or so   Thats when it can back the last 2 times

Same issue here "OCP OFF" message, all was fine with update for over a week until today, l I turned on EQ (1st time with beta software) then turned off my loads on battery bank to assist EQ, classic alarmed...reset power to classic, alarm not beeping now but error message OCP OFF won't go away, tried power cycling unit twice...no luck getting error to clear. VMM was not set yet, I now tried setting VMM after 1st re-set of classic, that didn't clear error.
what is OCP error? PS: running in "SOLAR" and panels are in partial shade at the moment. also only classic gives error, the local remote software does not show an alert.

No alarm today had a cloudy day and never seen over 30 amps not sure if that has anything to do with it.
