June 2020, Beta Release - Release 4

[GMPX]

**Edit** New software now available, please see the updated post in the Software Updates and Installation Help forum
ATTENTION - BETA SOFTWARE RELEASE

We strongly recommend that you do not install the beta software over the top of your production systems. It is possible that the beta test software may fail and your production system may not be recoverable. lf you conduct a tuning business, please take the necessary precautions to protect your business. EFILive recommends beta testers use a separate FlashScan V3/V2 device (when installing the latest beta firmware) and only install the EFILive beta test software on a separate PC, laptop or virtual machine.

For users dealing with the V3 AutoCal products you must use this release and ensure that all devices have the firmware updated to the version in this release prior to being used on vehicles.

The current public release is available here.

Fix Summary:

Changes to V8 software

• The "Clear DTCs" procedure at the end of the read/flash operation has been updated.
• When an AutoCal configured to self-sign reads either an E54 (LB7) or an E60 (LLY) controller, the tune file is now self-signed with the correct serial numbers.
• Save/Save As are now enabled by default in the [F6: Devices] tab page after reading the device settings from a FlashScan or AutoCal device.
• Cummins HD pass-thru data logging would log corrupt data if invalid PIDs were selected.
• Cummins HD pass-thru data logging would always fail to start with "no controllers detected" error.

Changes to V2 firmware (V2.07.163)

• No changes since last update.

Changes to V3 firmware (V3.00.044)

• Fixed "Clear DTC" option not working on VPW based controllers.
• When CVN Data or CVN History is not successfully retrieved from the controller a more user-friendly message is now displayed - instead of error $0281 "No data retrieved".
• Word wrapping for different font sizes is now handled correctly so that some letters at the start and/or end of lines are not truncated.
