Can't Find sae_generic.txt file

Just downloaded version 7.3 and can't find the sae_generic.txt file referred to. I was having the same problem with the version (7.2) I loaded when I got my EFI software. I looked in the user config file where there are other .txt files but it isn't there. Please help.

Thanks :oops:

Did you get V7.3.0 from here:

http://www.efilive.com/downloads/downloads_7.html

or are you using one of the pre-releases?

If you go there and scroll down a bit you'll see a link to a fixed sae_generic.txt. I haven't looked at it to see whether or not it differs from what came with the last pre-release I installed.

I believe the sae_generic must match the gm.._prn file. As they share info.
You cant use a prerelease sae_generic with the 7.3 release version.
So you need to get the new sae_generic to match.

Yes, That's where I downloaded it from. I scrolled down to the link for the sae_generic.txt file fix and followed the instructions. The 7.2 version I had was missing the sae_generic.txt file. Would this be why I was having a problem with a calc_pid I created? It wouldn't appear in the PID tab in scan tool even after I had closed scan and reopened it. Is there anything else I should check?

Thanks :)

Be aware that the sae_generic.txt file does not live in the same folder as the calc_pids.txt file.

Most user editable files (including calc_pids.txt) live in "My Documents"
\My Documents\EFILive\V7\User Configuration

Most non user editable files (including sae_generic.txt) live in "Program Files"
\Program Files\EFILive\V7\Configuration

Make sure you put the sae_generic.txt file in the correct folder.

To see your calculated PIDs you may need to uncheck the "Supported" check button on the [PIDs (F8)] tab page.
If you calc PID shows up as unsupported, then right click on it and select "More info..." to find out why.

Paul, thanks once again for helping me out. I downloaded the new 7.3 version and by mistake (not reading closely enough) had saved the new sae_generic.txt file to the User Configuration file instead of the Configuration file. :oops: I guess the new file did fix whatever was wrong before because I now was able to create a new calc_pid to calculate the Base AirFlow Numerator (BAFN) in the calc_pid.txt file and it does appear in the PID tab of Scan Tool. I know I made the right choice when I bought EFILive. Your support is numero uno!

Sincerely,
Tony :D
