Known issues with May 01, 2015 Public Release

Did you do the battery thing?

Yes, pulled both negatives off the two batteries.

Ok, I see Paul has sent you some stuff to try.

I got a new set of files from Paul for v8 that allowed the v8 program to wait long enough to recover the ECM. Thank you!

Guess I'll see if I can go back to the old version that was working for me.

I just downloaded / installed the updates (V8.2.2.276)

I seem to be having two issues:

- When playing back any of my logged data files (LS1B), if I hit the stop button the following error message appears:

No device connected.

Please connect a FlashScan or AutoCal USB device.

If a device is connected, ensure it is not being used by another application such as the EFILive V7.5 Scan or Tune Software.

Happens in Data, Charts, or Gauges.

- Second is with EOPS. This is the thread where you found there was an issue and had me changed GM.EOPS in the data file to XX.EOPS (https://forum.efilive.com/showthread.php?24500-Eops). I had not updated the software since then as that fix worked. Now that I've updated, GM.EOPS seems to be working but for some reason my calc pid to convert that voltage to a pressure stopped working.

To diagnose I tried a calc pid to just read EOPS: return pid("EOPS"); and even that just returns zero.

Thanks

Hi Rob,

Sorry for the lack of reply, for some reason I had not noticed your post.

I seem to be having two issues:

That is a confirmed bug. The software is incorrectly attempting to stop data logging on the vehicle even when no vehicle is connected. An update is planned for mid next week.

- Second is with EOPS. This is the thread where you found there was an issue and had me changed GM.EOPS in the data file to XX.EOPS (https://forum.efilive.com/showthread.php?24500-Eops).

Can you please send a log file that contains the EOP PID so that I can try and replicate the same issue here.

Here's a log file: LS1B_0052.efi

I played with it some more.

- open log file
- added my calc pid to selected list
- go to data view and start playback
= calc pid sits at 0 even though EOPS has varying voltage

- edit calc pid
- don't make any changes
- click ok
= calc pid now works

If I open the same log file, add the same calc pid, it doesn't work again and I need to do the same open / save of the calc pid.

I don't know where the calc pids are stored but if you let me know I'll attach it as well.

Thanks!

Rob

In V8 user defined calculated PIDs are stored here:
\My Documents\EFILive\V8\UserCalculatedPids.ini

In V7 user defined calculated PIDs are stored here:
\My Documents\EFILive\V7.5\User Configuration\calc_pids.txt

If you can send me the appropriate calculated PIDs file and athe log file that you are using I'll see if I can see why its not working.
Send to paul@efilive.com

More info:

It looks like the issue happens to whichever of my calc pids is added last to the Selected Pids. So its not one specific pid.

I found user calc pids in slightly different location: My Documents\EFILive\V8\Config\UserCalculatedPids.ini

I don't seem to be able to attach the calc pid file with the .ini extension so I changed it to .txt.
