Have you alerted Blacky to this problem... a little hard to cut and paste and multiply hehe....

I am aware of the right-click-menu problem. It was reported by Delco earlier this week. I have corrected the problem. I'll upload the corrected version and post a link to it. Mr Prick, I've also updated GM.MANVAC and a couple of other inHg PIDs.

you can copy with hot key.(ctrl + c)
you never could copy and fill with hot keys.

Blacky,
is there a standard for imperial settings across the board? (inHg or PSI)

I've got the latest software, but at Carlisle this week, I noticed that I could not Right click/copy and I was still having some connectivity issues......

Serial wideband works nice with LM2.:cucumber: (thanks Andy!)

Otherwise, working pretty good....

I haven't posted the update yet - still waiting other issues to be fixed.
You can still use the Edit-> menu at the top of the window to copy and copy with labels.

You should find it in the "C:\Program Files\EFILive\V8.1\Programs" folder. I think it was moved there during the last update so as not to overwrite anyone's custom "options.ini" file. :angel_innocent:

Unfortunately, it (and other files) will move again in the next release.

EFILive V8's design, which was made before Vista was released, called for the entire software application, data and config files to be stored in a single folder. Which meant it would be easy to backup or even transfer your entire setup to another PC.

It seems Windows Vista security model does not like applications "saving/updating" files in the Program Files folder. So rather than fight Vista's security model which will cause grief for many customers we are currently investigating moving the application data files to:

On Vista it will probably be:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\EFILive\V8\...

On Windows XP it will most likely be:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\EFILive\V8\...

Also EFILive V8 does not store config data in the registry. All config data will be stored in *.ini files that can be easily backed up or transfered to a different PC along with the other application data files.

Thanks Ninety8c5 .
I saw that file but did not dawn on me it was the .ini file , though it was a text file , because the extension was not displayed .
Even opened it and read the header , thanks for the heads up on the next new moves of the options.ini file Blacky .
On Vista it will probably be:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\EFILive\V8\...

On Windows XP it will most likely be:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\EFILive\V8\...

I cannot seem to find the options.ini file to format my V2. I've searched my entire computer for the file but it doesnt show up anywhere. I've tried unistalling and reinstalling 8.1.1 multiple times but still nothing, and I have all the current firmware and bootblock.

I think that .ini files are normally hidden file types. Maybe you need to modify your windows folders settings to display all file types under Tools | Folder Options |View Tab

C:\Program Files\EFILive\V8.1\Programs , It is , there but looks like a text file .
It is just "OPTIONS" and no .ini , that is what fooled me it does drag and drop into the V2 .

Okay thanks i found it, and formatted it to the V2 but when i try to select PIDs my flashscan says Options.ini not found.

You did have EFILive Explorer open , V2 connected and drilled down to the file using drive tree on the left side of Explorer window ?
Once there in EFILIve Explorer you opened "Config Files" tab in Explorer and drug and dropped the Option file ?
It should have wound up in Alphabetical order in the "Config Files" section in Explorer .
That is what worked for me any ways .

Okay i got it i was just formatting it instead of just dragging and dropping them in there. But now when i try to select a tune the V2 says tune switching is not supported in controllers callibration.

Shane,

How are you getting the log off the V2 box into the scan tool? I'm having a blond moment and can't work that bit out???

Thanks

You need to have the appropriate files in the [Config] folder. Use EFILive_Explorer to manually setup the files or use EFILive_ScanAndTune->Black Box Logging to setup the files.

Then you need to select the correct controller type using the F1 option on FlashScan.

Then you can select the switchable tune.
