 Maretron uses a term called "Unique Instance" where the N2KAnalyzer software tool automatically determines if a particular device uses device or data instances.
-WARNING: At Victron we do not understand what and how the Maretron software works with regards to this. We advise to use another tool, not Maretron, so that you know what you are doing, ie know what instance you are changing.
+WARNING: At Victron we do not understand what and how the Maretron software works with regards to this. We advise to use another tool, not Maretron, so that you know what you are doing, ie know what instance you are changing. So far, we have not been able to use Maretron software to change a data instance. And changing the other instance, the device instance can also be done straight from the Victron GX device its user interface. To change a data instance, for example to fix instance conflicts as reported by the Maretron software, we recommend to use Actisense. Not Maretron.
 Open N2KAnalyzer and make sure that the "Unique Instance" column is turned on (i.e. checked) using the Setup>Columns menu item.
