    Default highlighting tables in SCAN & TUNE simultaneously

    Was wondering if one of you kind folks could guide me through how I can do this. Should be simple enough. Read this in a "Corvette Fever" article off the main site:

    "When you open a stored data log and move the cursor to a position within the recorded chart, the "coordinates" of that point are highlighted on the relevant calibration data table and/or graph within the tuning program. As an example, if you move the cursor along a recorded data graph to a position where spark knock is indicated and then click over to the spark map in the tuning program, the cell that corresponds to the engine rpm and engine load, when the knock occurred, will be highlighted. The contents of that cell can then be changed to a lower value that will not precipitate spark knock.

    Similarly, if you move the cursor to a position where excessive fuel trim is indicated, or where the wide-band O2 sensor indicates the actual and commanded AFR are off a good amount, the appropriate cell in the VE map is highlighted. It's also possible to "click and drag" across a data chart to highlight a range of data points. When you switch from the scanning to the tuning program, all the cells that relate to the data points on the graph are highlighted. This capability eliminates guess work as to which calibration values relate to actual operating conditions and greatly simplifies tuning."


    THANKS! (I know the article pretty much describes what to do, just want to confirm that I need to have both programs open separately or there is a way to access TUNE from SCAN.)

    In the tunetool, go Edit->Properties->Scanner->PID data links and checkmark both items.

    I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I hope I can help in the future too, to ease the load on you guys that really know the inner workings of this black art of EFI tuning. Cheers!

    Joe told me about this last year sometime, made it super nice to drive down the highway and see exactly what cells I was hitting!

    OK, checked both items. So I guess READ the calibration, then connect through SCAN and click back over to the TUNE window??

    Save the calibration to a file.

    Or open a log file, open the calibration (order doesn't matter)... look at table in tunetool...

    You have to log the very same pids as mentioned on the calibration table axes...

    and in the scantool PIDs tab you have to set the pid units to match the units used by the tunetool for that pid (on the axis) on that table.

    This is not working again. I got it to work once on a Tahoe and it was so nice. But now I am in an '06 HHR 2.4 with an E67. I saved the cal, and checked both items under edit/properties/scanner. I am connected and validated in the Scan Tool. Even tried opening a log file, and closing and re-opening the tune tool. It is not highlighting. What am I doing wrong, it must be something I am overlooking? Thanks!

    Check that the pids on the scantool Data tab have the same units as the tunetool table axis.

    Also, make sure that the logged pids are identical to the link pids mentioned on the tunetool table axis.

    Post some screenshots of:
    - scantool Data tab,
    - tunetool table.

    Probably need to go into the C:\Program Files\EFILive\V7.5\Configuration and open the cal_link.txt file. You will need to add the proper cal linking tables, I went through and did it for the P10 PCM.
