Help-EXT. PIDS Always Appear

[joecar]

Paul,

Log file attached; it was saved from the BB, but same thing happens even if it was previously saved from scan tool (i.e. non-BB)...

when I open the file, theOS reverts to N/A and the Trans. to Manual (my correct values should be 12212156 and Auto)...

also, note the following:

a. when the OS/Trans are not correct, the PIDs tab shows the PIDs in the log file as being valid (without red X's) and the Data tab shows correct value/min/max/avg... and then (see b)...

b. then if I enter the correct OS/Trans, the PIDs tab now shows all those PIDs with red X's, and the Data tab now shows N/A for value/min/max/avg.

While researching this problem, I have just uncovered a problem with off-line PID validation. I am working on a solution for the next release.

Its to do with *.vpl files that include the _10, _11 and _18 PCM ID in the file name. If there is no conenction to a vehicle then the PCM ID is not known (i.e. zero) and so the correct *.vpl files are not used.

When multiple *.vpl files exist for a single VIN, I am adding the option to select which *.vpl file should be used.

YES!!!

Guess what worked.... select 12 or more channels and RPM logs fine. Thanks for the feedback, guys.

I was confused as to the amount of channels that I could log and was only logging 6 or less at a time. I feel like a fool....

Did I inadvertantly uncover another issue? Feel free to take this post in any direction necessary to help others.

Yes, this one is a related issue:

It's all fixed now. A new release will be available this weekend.

Note: the selecting less than 12 channels problem with BB logging cannot be fixed. Its an issue in FlashScan's firmware.
