Sep 2015: EFILive Public Pre-Release

[IdahoRob]

Any time line on when this will become the public release? Thank you,

[GMPX]

I'm not sure as I don't know what feedback has come in via support, but I recently had to make a change to accommodate the 2016 LML so that will need to be included in the final release to save everyone having to update again. Paul might jump in and give a more precise time frame.

The plan is before end of October.

Is the chart full screen view (F10) in V8 implemented yet? I get two different types of failures depending on what laptop I use. Windows XP has a black screen & only shows the chart as I move the cursor, Windows 10 sticks in a loop tracing the charts then goes to a black screen, touching any key restarts the loop.

It is a bit dodgy on some platforms. It has been reworked for the next update due out end of this week.

after a refresh it now shows all files are updated.... all good

i keep getting this error when updating the config files

It may not be "all good" just yet. Error $0194 usually means that the internal memory is full. So it may be one config file did not get completely updated. The update option may show files as "up to date" even if they did not copy across correctly. That is because it uses the date/time stamp of the file to determine if it is the latest version of the file. It does not check the contents of each file.

If an error $0194 occurs during the update process, I strongly recommend removing one or more controllers (that you don't need to work with) from the list of supported controllers that get loaded onto your FlashScan. You can do that using the [F5: BBX]->[F2: Scan] and [F3: Tune] options. Either delete the controller's entry completely, or just uncheck the entry. Then click the [Program] button at the bottom of the screen.

Say you wanted to use a 50% modifier to only apply half the weight of the clipboard correction data (i.e. X=50). What we are really asking for is to reduce the calibration value by 50% of the 0.9 error correction value that is on the clipboard. Remember 0.9 on the clipboard is an error correction of negative 10%. In other words what we are ultimately asking for is a reduction of 5% of the value in that cell.

Using the Paste and multiply way: [cell value]*[clipboard value]*X/100
123.45*0.9*50/100 = 55.55 (which is not a 5% reduction).

Using the Paste error correction way: [cell value]*(1.0+(([clipboard]-1.0)*X/100)).
123.45*(1.0+((0.9-1.0)*50/100))
123.45*(1.0+(-0.1*50/100))
123.45*(1.0+ -0.05)
123.45 * 0.95 = 117.28 (which is a drop of 5% from the original value).
Notice how in the above example the error correction of 0.9 (i.e. negative 10%) was effectively halved to 0.95 (negative 5%) because the requested percentage weight was 50%.

Note:
The "Paste error correction" options ignore any values coming from the clipboard that are not in the range 0..2, the corresponding cell in the calibration is not modified.

I tried to beak the habit of paste and multiply...

When you are close to your target, paste and muiltiply works good.

When you are trying to apply a ben factor of approx 10% or more, the multiply function

overshoots the target and it wastes tons of time. (ie: Wideband is only accurate when close to your target)

When a wideband says you're 10+% lean or rich, that applied correction overshoots the target every time.

When using the multiply with 50% weight it makes for a more accurate adjustment and ultimately less re-tuning time.

I really like to use that feature lately.

Paul, is the update release still on target for this week?
