EFILive Version 8 (Black Box Logging) is now available

I think we may have missed signals...that thread looks like the hardware is missing. My thread was about the software itself... in the parameters of options.txt there is nothing. for temp2 and temp1
Sorry if i mis-lead you!

I understand. However, I see the TEMP1 and TEMP2 PIDs in the Options.txt after using the BBL software to select them.
Which controller are you trying to select them for?

Anyway, back to the reason I linked to this thread...
http://forum.efilive.com/showthread....5334#post95334

While trying to reproduce the problems with AD2, I saw an anomaly with the TempX PIDs. Temp1 appears to remain static at 3degC while TEMP2 appears to contain one of the AD values - that's what I am working on at the moment.

It won't work that way and i don't know how to manually do it... it just puts in the temp1 in options.txt but I don't see it on the flashscan and it logs nothing.
I see the other PIDS have 'variables" or other options to them... This one does not.

THe external PIDs should have a dash for the controller type.
i.e.
-,TEMP1
instead of just
TEMP1

When you save the PID selections from the BB logging setup window it should create the Options.txt file correctly with the dashes.

Make sure you are using the latest V8.1 release because an older version of the software had a problem that caused it to leave off the dash.

The latest version V8.1.2 is available here:

Did you get anything on this? I'm having the same problem and wondered if there was a work around so I could log my EGT, please?

If you go into the Options.txt file and add the - that is missing that's the work around.

I went ahead and deleted both of the temp PID's and then saved. I then reselected them and saved it again - Here's what I came up with:

Thank you both!! I'll do that!

Are you sure you're not using an older version of the software?
Check the version you are using on the very first screen when EFILive Scan and Tune is first started. It should show V8.1.2 Build 55 or higher.

[Jasondt2001]

Yeah Paul, I'm using V8.1.2 build 55 actually.

Once I put in the slash like above it works, but it thinks the temp probe 1 shows on both temp 1 and 2 probe. So another words it says temp2 is listed as temp1 if that makes sense.

Paul,

I can't verify if the LB7 external PID works.
I noticed that when saving the file in S/T. PCM is added for the node not the - and a description for the PID is added on the LB7. The LMM and LBZ is missing that information when setting up the Custom settings to use the two Temp PIDs.
The Options txt file has the - added for the LB7 and LLY when saving S/T. Could the problem be that the set-up information for the LMM and LBZ in custom properties is missing. If that is added I think it would work.
