[restless@westnet.com.au]

hi last week i up graded all my v7.5 and v8 software and v2 firmware from the efilive site
then i but my car on the dyno and proceed to log the tune all good ( so far )
till i got home and sent the LOGS to my tuner who says logs are unreadable ?? all hatched up you need the latest firmware go here ,so he gives me a link to latest firmware , the firmware he links me to is 2.07.79 the firmware i got from the efilive site was 2.07.64
NOW I CANT play my logs ether as they are all hatched up , what is the fix for this ???
logs attached 180611806218063
(not going to pay for dyno AGAIN firmware might change while im on there )
thanks for any help

Those logs show the symptom of some the config files not matching, they would be mashed up anyway.

I'll ask Paul if those can be recovered...

Hi Bob,

Looking at the logs now.

I've "fixed" the log files but that required deleting the PID GM.KRCYL from each log and replacing it with SAE.AIR_STAT. The value of the GM.KRCYL PID was not captured correctly during data logging and can't be recovered. The GM.AIR_STAT PID that I added to the log file is just a place holder to fool the current software into thinking the log file is ok, it does not contain any useful data, please just ignore that PID in these three files.

thanks very much Paul
i appreciate it , the GM KRCYL PID did work ok before the firm ware up grade but it was not important to me in the attached logs
WERE should i save it to ? so im able view them in 5.7 scan tool
thanks again Bob

Hi Bob,

Usually log files go into \My Documents\EFILive\V7.5\Logged Data. However, you can save the files anywhere on your PC so long as you remember where you saved them and that you go to that same place when attempting to open them in V7.5.

The original problem was caused by mismatched firmware/software/config files being used to record the log v's being used to view the log. If your firmware and software are up to date (and you tuner's firmware and software are too) then you and he should be able to black box log and view your files in V7.5 without any further problems.

Hey Bob,

When you download/install latest software, make sure to install both V7 and V8...

( then makre sure V2 is plugged into PC )

then start V8 S&T and click Check Firmware and click the button to update the firmware (wait for it to finish writing);

then click the button to update the config files (wait for it to finish).

hi Joe i did that several times ,and yes both v7.5 and v8 as i understand they are linked together
the problem was the firmware off the efilive site was ver 2.07.64 that i got ,the firmware my tuner is using was 2.07.79
