Are Multiplus voltage sense cables still required when using a BMV?

Just trying to work out.. I have a 24v Multiplus, a BMV600S and a CCGX, DVCC is enabled. My understanding is the BMV is now the main source of voltage and SOC, current draw etc. But I think the system would benefit from the voltage sense cables on the multi since the BMS could still experience voltage drop if I'm not mistaken..? But if I connect the voltage sense pins will the system ignore them and still use the BMV for voltage measurement? Thanks

Have a look at the CCGX manual. Re Shared Voltage Sense.

It will use the best method.. I understand, but also says it will use the BMV.. so would I be right in assuming the BMV voltage measurement would override the multi's voltage sense measurement?

I am unsure if the BMV600 has an VE direct port on the back of the display to connect to the GGCX.
