    Default Cax file problems

    Doesn't seem like EFI Live is loading up my Cax files

    I have the appropriate file for my OS in the calibrations folder but it doesn't seem like the application is reading it or seeing it..

    Help!

    Make sure your *.cax file is in the folder:

    \Program Files\EFILive\V7.5\Calibrations (for WinXP and Win2000)
    or
    \Program Files (x86)\EFILive\V7.5\Calibrations (for Vista and Win7)

    The cax filename MUST be the same as the operating system number. So if your *.tun file's OS number is 12345678, then your cax file MUST be called 1234567.cax



    You can get additional trace info by adding a /l (space, forward slash and lowercase L) to the V7 Tune Tool shortcut. Right click the shortcut and select properties and add it to the Target setting).
    The trace info will be saved in the file:
    \Program Files\EFILive\V7.5\Startuplog.txt (for WinXP and Win2000)
    or
    \Program Files (x86)\EFILive\V7.5\Startuplog.txt (for Vista and Win7)

    Don't forget to remove the /l from the shortcut after you have finished with the trace info.

    For example this is part of the trace that gets created on a test system here, i.e. I don't have a cax file so it shows up as not found in the trace:

    13:53:46.963|5512|Opening user cal file "C:\Program Files (x86)\EFILive\V7.5\Calibrations\12604138.cax"
    13:53:46.964|5512|User cal file not found, not loaded.

    +1 for this thread, helped me fix my caxb(12212156) addition to my tune. gonna try out lean cruise after doing a full OS/CAL reflash. Gotta compare a Holden tune to see what it suggests for LC settings.
