BB Logging beta update: March 26, 2008

[Lennart]

Did not read the entire thread but here hare my observations from today (using the March 0326 FW and the latest build) :
- TCM flashing works
- Logging in passthrough works, but selecting the controller was a little odd, had to select with ignition on!
- Clearing DTCs works for all controllers from PC but I was unable to clear B1025 and a Cxxxx DTC standalone.
- BBL did not work, got the message that PID TP was unknown.


Tests were all performed on my 05 LLY Duramax truck.

FRPACT appears to be missing from the LLY PMM file as well... Just FYI.

This is probably old news by now, but I had no problems with either pass-through or bb logging a 99+ LS1 PCM. Things seem to run a little quicker than they used to. I'll try a few other processors and let you know the results.

Build 46 scantool seems to only do one level of calc pids in calc_pids.txt...

i.e. it displays only the calc_pids that do not depend on other calc pids.

If I open a log file captured prior to BBL update, then on the PIDs tab I see my calc pids from my calc_pids.txt file.

But, If I open a BBL captured log file, I don't see all my calc pids... I see only the ones that do not depend on other calc pids.

Compare the attached calc.pids.txt file to the attached image of PIDs tab sorted by last column...
the PIDs tab is missing the following pids from the calc_pids.txt file:
CALC.AFR
CALC.EQ
CALC.EQ_WB1
CALC.EQ_WB2
CALC.BEN_WB1
CALC.BEN_WB2

and all of the predefined wideband BEN calc pids are missing also.

All the calc pids that show up in the pids tab do not depend on other calc pids...

CALC.AFR_WB1 and CALC.AFR_WB2 showed up (they depend only on EXT.AD1 and EXT.AD2).

[joecar]

The above was with the March 26 update.

So I then did this (in the sequence shown):
1. copied the March 20 update,
2. copied the March 26 update,

Now it seems that all the valid calc pids from calc_pids.txt show up, but I still don't see the invalid calc pids nor the predefined wideband calc pids.

Oh, I saw your post about collating pids.

Oh, I saw your post about collating pids.

I think this issue might have a different cause, I've got it on the list of things to investigate... Thanks for the detailed info.
