Check the "What's Next" posts, back at #5, I think. The answer is yes to the exact same question I asked back in October. Now I need to find out what the CS-01 is and how to wire it. Shouldn't be too hard.

"I'm in the planning stage for my panel and would appreciate some kind of time frame estimate for the second amp meter. I would use it to monitor amperage to my e-bus in addition to the standard main bus meter.
Thanks

We slip-streamed multiple AMPS monitoring capability into SkyView recently by adding support of the GRT CS-01 Hall Effect Current Sensor which connects to one of the three enhanced general purpose inputs - Pins 8, 22, or 31. A (one, or more) CS-01 can be displayed on the EMS page in addition to the AMPS Shunt.
Of course, you can also display AMPS on the EMS page that is being generated by the optional VP-X.

The CS-01 is a hall effect current sensor that GRT Avionics sells. Connection and configuration instructions are in the latest SkyView Installation Guide on our site.
When adding a DP switch to "switch" the signal between two power generating sources (what is your second source? a B&C 8AMP?) what shunt do your use? I don't see any small amp rated devices, can you use a 50A shunt? Where did you tie into the second source?
