Hello all,  
Is it possible to connect energy meter with impulz measurement to Cerbo Mk2?

On old Cerbo this is not possible, I just hope that on new version of Cerbo this is possible.  
I just would like to have measurements in the VRM as temperature or other information, so just small tiles.

Thanks

You can also use the digital inputs as pulse inputs … but the available ‘evaluation’ currently only works as a flow rate.  
I would also like to add other values as ‘freely definable’ but unfortunately this feature is not yet available.  
For example, I would like to display water meters or other pulse values …

You’d think in this day an age someone would of done this on Victron Tank140, we can only hope soon

Do you think the Tank140 could be used?  
It has the capability to read pulse

Usually energy meters have 1000pulses/1kWh. Is it possible to use this formula on Digital inputs?

I don’t just need the evaluation … that’s not a problem … but the evaluation in the graphical user interface. Victron could simply add a **user-definable text field** here … to display more than just the flow rate.
