grandMA3 User Manual » Remote In and Out » MVR-xchange
Version 2.0

The MVR menu offers a platform to exchange and manage MVR files via a network connection instead of using a USB drive. 

The MVR-xchange is specified in the DIN SPEC 15801:2023-12. For more information, see the external link https://www.beuth.de/en/technical-rule/din-spec-15801/373968511.

The general idea behind the MVR menu is to send MVR files from a station into a defined network and share the files with other stations. For more information about the appropriate keyword, see SendMVR Keyword.

To open the MVR menu:

  1. Press Menu. The menu opens.
  2. Tap In & Out. 
  3. Tap MVR. The MVR menu opens.

The three elements on top of the menu are described as follows:

  • Group: The standard group name is Default. The group name can be edited. Stations with identical group names share the same exchange group.
  • Interface: Defines the network interface.
    Hint:
    To share data between different devices, the devices need to be in the same network.
Hint:
To share data between different devices, a network connection has to be established. For more information, see Enabling or Disabling the Network Connection.
  • Enable: To be able to exchange MVR files, make sure to activate Enable. For more information about station and session communication, see Station Control.

The main area of the MVR is separated into three tabs: Local, Services, and Files. Selecting a tab changes the grid below it accordingly and the font color of the selected tab changes to yellow.

Local

  • Local: Shows all MVR files that have been locally committed into an exchange group. Files can be deleted or Oopsed in the menu, too.
