    Default Setting up a FSV2 from scratch...

    Install the latest V7 and V8 (both) software builds from here: Software-Updates-and-Installation-Help

    Flash the latest bootblock/firmware into your V2:
    - start V8 Scan & Tune (S&T),
    - click Check Firmware,
    - if the firmware needs updating you will see a button Update Firmware, click it,
    - if the V2 BBx configuration needs updating you will see a button to Refresh it, click it (see Note below),
    - click Ok to exit the firmware update dialog box.

    Note: If you had already configured V2 BBx as shown below, then click the button you see to Refresh the V2 BBx config (see pic below), wait until the refresh is finished, and now you're done.


    Note: if you have not yet configured V2 BBx config then continue here:

    Insert an SD card into your FSV2 (and leave it in your FSV2 from now on).

    Configure BBx for your PCM or ECM/TCM:
    - start V8 Scan & Tune (S&T),
    - goto F6: Devices,
    - set File System to SD Card,
    - save to file Settings.dat,
    - click Program,
    - click Close,
    - goto F5: BBX,
    - click Format Config File System (accessed via downarrow next to Program button),
    - goto Scan page (see Note below),
    - in the blue pane delete pidlists for ECM's other than yours,
    - in the blue pane you can add new pidlists for your ECM,
    - each pidlist in the blue pane can have a number of pids as shown in the green pane (to which you can add pids from the yellow pane),
    - at the bottom of the green pane is a bargraph showing pid usage, do not let this turn red (too many pids selected),
    - goto Tune page,
    - delete any ECM's other than yours,
    - if not already present, add entries for your ECM type(s),
    - goto DTC page,
    - checkmark the DTC descriptions you want to see,
    - save to file Options.txt,
    - click Program All (accessed via downarrow next to Program button), wait for it to finish,
    - click Close,
    - goto F8:Tools (if you have any .tun files to conver to .ctz),
    - in the upper box, browse to your .tun files, and click Convert Now,
    - click Close,
    - exit V8 S&T.

    Note: on the Scan page, the right-hand pane is yellow, the upper-left pane is blue, and the lower-left pane is green.
