I guess I just needed to talk out loud about this. After the post I thought about it and realized I didn't re-format the internal memory. Then I re-installed the firmware update. It worked after that. One thing is I re-formatted both the SD card and internal memory but the config files were still there. I thought they should have gotten erased. Anyway thanks for listening.
Where you type in the filename is the default text "*.wav", change that text to *.* and all files will show up.Originally Posted by Kevin Doe

There are two internal memory file systems: "Config" and "Data".
You can only format the "Data" filesys from FLashScan's menu.
You can only format the "Config" filesys from EFILive_Explorer's [Config] tab page.
On tab pages: Scan, Tune and Config, is a button called [Properties]. That shows you the space on each of the file systems.
Note: Scan and Tune refer to the same file system (Data) and so will always be the same.
We made the config file system non-formatable without a PC because there is no point formatting it unless you can replace the config files and that requires a PC. It just stops you accidentally erasing the config file system while out in the field. While still allowing you to format the data file system if required.

Config space: formated from EE (under Config Files tab) as Paul said.
Data space:
- Internal: formated from V2 (first select internal option),
- External: formated from V2 (first select SD option).
LS1B_A connected to V2...
On V2:
- System readiness tests show readiness states, looks to be correct.
- Mode 6 says "Mode $06 not retrieved" (or similar), I take it it's not there yet.
Key off, no laptop: V2 detects 1 PCM.
Key off, laptop: V2 detects 2 PCM's (but there's only 1 PCM).
BTW: in system readiness tests, what is CCM (is this EVAP)...?

I think I might have the same problem as before with BBL cutting off early with my E38. Morning trip was about 40 minutes and only got 5 minutes of logged data. Afternoon trip was probably 60 minutes and only got about 20 minutes of data.
I will investigate a little further tomorrow morning and post up more details. I wasn't thinking this morning/afternoon and did not get a trace file.
Not implemented for VPW vehicles yet - only CAN so far.
I have seen that and am trying to fix it...
MIS "Misfire Monitoring"
FUEL "Fuel System Monitoring"
CCM "Comprehensive Component Monitoring"
CAT "Catalyst"
HCAT "Heated Catalyst"
EVAP "Evaporative Purge System"
AIR "Secondary Air System"
ACRF "A/C System Refrigerant"
O2S "Oxygen Sensor"
HTR "Oxygen sensor Heater"
EGR "EGR System"
CCM: is a "catch all" for electronic systems not covered by the other 10 tests that can affect emissions. On most vehicles I've seen it is either not supported or always ready.

Would it be possible to save active DTCs for a vehicle on the SD/internal memory?
Yes, try this:
F2 Scan Tool -> F2 Diagnostics -> F4 Record All Diags.
That will create a text file called DTCxxxxx that you can copy to your PC and open/view with Notepad.

X2.
I have a few logs that seem to just end mid stream.
I've also had times when the V2 will log fine, then other times it appears to go into "pause" mode ( left hand green LED flashing slowly ) but you can't take it out of pause mode. Sometimes the displayed data also seems to freeze when this occurs, but not always. Pressing the <cancel> key will terminate the logging session and save the file. When I check the log files in ScanTool, the file is only 2KB in size and only the meta-data appears in the log.
Simon.
