Got my second shot at BBL Beta... It's come a long way in a short time I managed to get 7 logs and a DTC dump. This was purely a BBL test and no pass-thru attempts.
OS:
02020005
BBL FW:
FW: 12
AnomaliesFirmware Update:
1. None
BBL:
1. I don't recall if this feature is supposed to be available yet, but I attempted to clear the DTC's (P0102, P0103, & a Bxxxx [can't remember the number]) and I get a $0311.
EE:
1. While attempting to move my logs via EE, I opted to use Windoze Explorer to create a new folder: default\V7\Logged data\BBL Beta. EE's tree browser did not pick up the new folder, but the content browser did. Tried double clicking the folder in the content browser and the tree browser refused to acknowledge the existence of the new folder. Must close and respawn EE to get the new folder acknowledgement.
2. I thought I remembered reading that EE would now remember the last folder accessed upon respawning. No worky.
3. Something falls asleep... I let V2 and my laptop sit idle for about 30 minutes (no screen savers or low-power modes) while EE was viewing "Scan Files". I clicked "Tune Files", "Refresh (F5)" and got an $0101. I immediately clicked refresh again and got nothing (as anticipated).
4. F5 to refresh scan, tune, config, & firmware does not work
Suggestions
Firmware:
1. Updating the firmware tends to reset the splash screen and configured settings. Not sure if it's possible, but it would be nice for V2 to retain user-defined settings when new firmware is applied. Perhaps suck them out [UD settings] , apply new firmware, and then restore the settings.
Edit: Does not seem to be a problem with FW14... Thanks Paul
BBL:
1. Setting the PIN (F4-F3-F4) - I would have anticipated this option to appear under settings.
2. When starting a log, if no vehicle or PID's are selected, automagically navigate to the vehicle selection menu, then start logging
When attempting to write to an SD card that is not properly formatted (NTFS as opposed to one of the FATs), prompt user "SD card not formatted, do you wish to format?" then "Are you sure you're sure?"
3. At the moment, I'm not sure what could possibly be done about an accurate or meaningful file attribute time stamp, but it would be nice to have.
4. When the choice of PID's to be logged is available, the ability to choose which will be viewable.
EE:
1. When viewing V2 scan files, and assuming tune files will work similarly, an option should exist for you to select internal or SD memory. It should also have an intuitive indication that you are looking at SD or internal memory.
2. I'm thinking EE could use a connectivity window and message zone. See the first attachment. Hopefully the end product could look a lot better than my photochop
Honorable Mention
Firmware:
1. I like it a lot better than pre-BBL beta testing. The procedure is much more intuitive.
BBL:
1. I like the deletion of the pause option. When I first noticed it missing, it caused me to pause and recollect of a time that I ever needed to pause a pass thru log. Never done it.
2. Audibles kick ass. I chose to use the default TPS audible as my test, cranked up the box to about 103db, and WOT [straight pipes mind you], I could hear that TPS = 100%.
EE & Hapi:
1. I really like the autodetect in this release.
2. Diggin the status bar on EE
