EFILive Version 8 (Black Box Logging) is now available

The EFILive version 8 software, supporting Black Box logging for FlashScan and AutoCal is now available.

Download here:
http://www.efilive.com/index.php?opt...=48&Itemid=133
Please download and install BOTH V7.5 and V8.1

There is a fault with the V2.06.08 firmware, please read the "Known Issues" here:
http://www.efilive.com/index.php?opt...tes&Itemid=134

The version 8 software contains three major new features:
1. Black Box Logging configuration software.
2. FlashScan/AutoCal Settings editor.
3. FlashScan/AutoCal firmware version V2.06.07

There are only two functioning modules in the EFILive_ScanAndTune.exe program:
1. F3: Black Box Logging.
2. F6: Device Settings.
The other options have not been released yet.

The EFILive V8 Errors.txt file has been replaced with a pdf document: EFILive Error Codes.pdf with extra error descriptions and actions to be taken.

While not strictly necessary, if you uninstall your existing V8 install and delete the two folders below before installing the new V8 software, then your new V8 install will be cleaner and there will be no "old" files hanging around to confuse you later...

On XP:
\Program Files\EFILive\V8
\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\EFILive\V8

On Vista (you may need to set "show hidden files" to see ProgramData)
\Program Files\EFILive\V8
\ProgramData\EFILive\V8

The Channel allocation looks nice. :cucumber:

Still have the problem with TEMP2 not displaying. Still need to go into the Options txt and add -, for controller.

Didn't see the change from kpa to Mpa for FRP_C.

When viewing F/S or AC in Custom. The PIDs set up as custom, the information is correct. I'm finding the logged data is in metric for these PIDs.

MAP2, No default and units in pka.
BOOST2_DMA, Default was metric, changed to Imperial.
DESTCBOST, No default and units in pka.

Works ok here, are you sure you're using build 52?

The logged data is not stored in any units. It is displayed in the Scan Tool as whatever units you have set up in the charts and/or [Data F9] tab page.

Not sure what you mean by listing those PIDs? Can you elaborate please?

Paul,

Couldn't get the TEMP1 or TEMP2 to work with build 51 or 52. When using EFI S&T, adding TEMP2 External Temperature to the Selected PID list, changing the properties to custom. Default ID Properties: Node: is empty!
Custom ID Properties: Quick set is empty, should have °F or °K ? Had to change the Factor, Offset, and Units. Click OK. Saved the PID and programed to F/S with S&T. The selected PID will not view or record. If I go and Edit the Options txt file and change ( ) to (-,) for the controller and save the file. View it in EFI S&T for that selected PID and check the properties the Node: has - and is not empty. Program the changed Options txt to F/S. It will view in °F and play back in °F. WHY does it work this way and not the other way?

The 3 PIDs should have logged in IMPERIAL from the Options txt setting.
The PIDs that are listed are from F8 in the log and from the customized PID list that can be viewed in Imperial from F/S or A/C. The log has them as metric. F/S can't change 2 of the PIDs to IMPERIAL because the UNITS are set by default to metric. Its just like FRP_C. F/S has the UNITS set to PSI, Default Metric or Imperial. The recorded log will only play back in PSI never metric. Until it's changed in F/S.

When I program the settings to my FS unit, i get a pop up on the PC that says

Error: $010A: Received data message contained unknown command action.

And in the FS unit the settings are all out of whack.

After this recent update also I have been unable to BBL saying that the PMM is not valid with this firmware???

I have firmware 2.06.07 apr 08/09

Paul,

Nevermind.. I did an update to the firmware, didn't realize it had the SAME version but a different date and i know now why it was.

Been here for a while and sometimes get a little bit.... THIS DOESN't WORK let me post.. jeje..

Thanks :)

FYI for those using W7 beta or RC1 you need to run V8 setup under compatibility mode for Vista SP1/SP2 or XP SP3 otherwise it will terminate program setup saying it is incompatible with Win NT/x. Works perfectly so far.

Yap Yap... Been using efilive with W7 since 7000 and the only issue i had was minor that the arrow keys seemed to be "stuck" but after a reinstall... everything flawless!

Scan&Tune last night came up with "Cannot access clipboard, Access denied" or words to that effect. It came back almost as fast as I could click ok. If I was quick enough I could get in and click the action I needed.
Seemed ok today.
Build 52 and FW 0705
I exited and went back in same error.
