Ammeter Questions

Hello again -

I have two independent electrical systems: VP-X on one side, and circuit breakers on the other--each with its own alternator.

I would like to have an ammeter on each alternator, with identical "AMPS" gauges on the Engine page of SV.

Here's what I'm wondering:
[olist][*]Can SV display the Amps reading from the VP-X on the engine page, or do I have to look at the VP-X page to see it?
[*]If I use a GRT CS-01 hall effect ammeter, what type of input pin does it require?  I've referenced their datasheet, but it doesn't say if it's a 0-5V sensor or otherwise.
[*]Per this post from Dynon Support, it looks like SV has a bug where it wouldn't log data from a special function (like amps) on a GP pin.  Has that bug been fixed?[/olist]
Thanks for your time!

1) The ammeter on the normal SV page shows the shunt-based readings (or other sensors on GP inputs if you have them installed). The breakout detail is only available on the VP-X page
2) It's a type C input, so any of D37 pins 8,22,23, 31. Note that there's a section for the GRT hall effect sensor in our manual (page 7-46 of rev P of the install guide)
3) That's still true.

Thanks!

Of course, I somehow missed the whole, detailed, and obvious section in the Dynon manual.  Sorry about that!  Here's a direct link in case anyone else is looking for it.

I'll search better next time, I promise.
