7. Settings files
7.1. Save, load, share and manage settings
This feature allows you to save product settings to a file so that they can be loaded onto the Victron product you are connected to …or another product, at a later time.
Save settings
Connect your phone to the Victron product, go to the 'Settings' page, and click on the floppy disc icon 
.
Load settings
Connect your phone to the Victron product, go to the 'Settings' page, and click on the load icon 
, and then select a file from the list.
When the file is loaded, the changes are not immediately applied to make it possible to review them first. The differences between the product's current settings, and the new settings contained in the loaded file, will be marked-up in orange.
Once you have reviewed them, click 'Apply' …or you may choose to 'Discard' them.
Share settings
The 'Share settings' feature allows you to share the current product settings with other products, using your phone. Also, settings you have already saved using VictronConnect are stored in a settings file and can be shared with other products through the 'Settings file manager'.
Settings file manager
The Settings file manager is located in the main menu, and shows all stored settings:

From here files can be opened, shared or removed:

7.2. Settings files and the demo library
The demo library can be a great tool for an installer to create a set of settings, and then share it to a customer whom can then apply it to their product.
Note that whilst saving settings from the demo library is possible, loading settings from within the demo library is not possible.
7.3. Limitation when opening older settings files
There are two ways to open a previously saved settings file:
Via the Settings File Manager
As shown in the screenshot above, this option lets you view the settings without being connected to the product. A full snapshot of all settings — as well as voltage readings, history data, and other information — will be loaded and available for inspection.
Via the Product Settings Pages
This option is only available when you are connected to the product.
Important
The first method only works if the settings file was created with the exact same software version you are using now.
If the file was created with an older software version, use the second method instead: connect to the same product and then load the settings file.
