    *.blx is the file extension for V7.5 read/flash trace files.

    *.bix is the file extension for V8 read/flash boot loader files.

    The V8 equivalent of *.blx is *.htx.
    *.htx files can be found in the folder: \My Documents\EFILive\V8\Trace

    The errors $0502 and $050B reported in this thread are not being worked on by me or anyone. Those errors are almost certainly caused by incorrect AutoCal setups.

    $0502 is "Script file not found". That simply means the *.obj file required to flash the selected controller has not been downloaded to the AutoCal device.
    You can use the EFILive Scan And Tune software to automatically update your AutoCal or you can download the appropriate file(s) manually.
    I'll describe the manual process, because if you have a good understanding of the process and what is required you will be able to easily solve any future occurrences.

    For FlashScan or AutoCal to flash a controller in standalone mode it needs at least three files to be copied onto it:
    1. A script file (*.obj) which contains all the instructions required to reprogram a controller. These script file are not to be confused with the scripts that you may use to apply changes to your tunes in the PC based V7.5 software.
    2. A bootloader file (*.blx) which contains the software required to reprogram the flash memory chip(s) in the controller. Note: not all controllers require bootloader files. LBZ, LMM, CMB and CMC controllers do not require boot loaders.
    3. A tune file (*.ctz) which contains your calibration changes.

    Script files are named like this: XXX_T.obj where
    - XXX is the controller code such as LBZ or CMB,
    - T is the type of script and is one of: R for reading, W for cal flashing and F for full flashing.
    So if you were attempting to full-flash a Cummins 5.7 controller the script file would be CMB_F.obj

    The bootloader files are named like this: XXX_T.blx where
    - XXX is the controller code such as LBZ or CMB,
    - T is the type of script and is one of: R for reading, W for cal flashing and F for full flashing.
    So if you were attempting to cal-flash an E38 controller the script file would be E38_W.blx

    The *.obj and *.blx files can be found on your PC in the folder:
    \Program Files\EFILive\V8\Config (for WinXP and Win2K)
    or
    \Program Files (x86)\EFILive\V8\Config (for Vista and Win7)

    You can copy them to FlashScan or AutoCal using EFILive Explorer. They must be copied into the [F9: Config] tab page.
    Attachment 12615

    The tune file is named whatever you like but should be short enough to be displayed in AutoCal's display (i.e. 8 or less characters).
    Note: there is currently a bug that causes extremely short file names (1 or 2 characters) to not show up on FlashScan's screen - that bug is being worked on).
    Tune file names should also be less than 63 characters in total, including the \EFILive\Tune path prefix.
    Tune files should be copied onto FlashScan/AutoCal in the [F3: Data Files] tab page to the folder: \EFILive\Tune


    Error $050B means the script file is the wrong version for the firmware in the FlashScan or AutoCal device.
    Make sure your software is up to date and the the FlashScan/AutoCal firmware is up to date prior to copying any *.obj files to FlashScan or AutoCal.

    If anyone is absolutely certain they have copied the correct files to their FlashScan/AutoCal devices and they are still getting $0502 or $050B errors, please post more details in this thread and I will investigate.

    Regards
    Paul

    The config files should be installed when the V8 software is installed. If you install the V8 software again any missing files will be installed.
    Also, for setting up AutoCals, you should now be using use the V8 option: [F5: BBX]->[F6: Quick Setup].
