Version 2.4

The MVR menu provides a way to exchange and manage MVR files over a network connection instead of using a USB drive. For more information about MVR files in general, see My Virtual Rig (MVR).

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 idea behind the MVR menu is to send MVR files from a station to a defined network and share them 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 devices, they need to be on the same network.
Hint:
To share data between devices, a network connection must be established. For more information, see Enabling or Disabling the Network Connection.
  • Enable: To exchange MVR files, make sure it is activated. 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 updates the grid below it, and the selected tab's font color 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.
