BB Logging beta update: April 07, 2008

When you send a new time to FlashScan, if that new time differs from FlashScan's time by more than 1 second it will update the flash memory with the new time.

When you attempted to update the date.time did the blue LED come on? (i.e. indicating that it was updating the flash with the new time)
If it did, it may be that it took longer than 5 seconds to write the new time to the flash memory (although I can't think why it would take that long).

Paul,

- The time difference is about 12+ hours.
- The blue LED comes on for about 5+ seconds (it is on 99% of that time... it goes off for a very brief moment in the middle of that time).

Cheers,

It should be ok, what operating system is your E38 controller running?

Do we need to copy all the .pmm files to the Config tab, or can we just copy the one(s) that pertain to 1 vehicle (e.g. LS1B_A.pmm)...?

Edit: see my Options.ini file in my next post #40...

You only need to include the *.pmm files that are referenced in the *VEHICLES section.
And even then you only need to include the *.pmm files that you actually attempt to select.

Paul,

On the V2 menu, instead of saying "Select Vehicle" it should say "Select PID List".

For example, in my Options.ini you will see that I have different pid lists for the same vehicle:

Hmm, I have thought about that as well.

For new users, selecting a "vehicle" makes more sense. For experienced users with customized Options.ini file it makes more sense to say "Select PID list".

No reason why there can't be an extra entry in the *VEHICLES section that allows that select message to be customized.

Looks like the file system is requesting two sectors be updated. I will increase the timeout to 10 seconds.

Hi Paul,

I just tried some logging on the E38 using the DMA Pids. As soon as I try to log data or display data I get the following message...

Node: ECM
PID: APCYL_M
is not supported,
please de-select it.


Did the DMA PID's change names again? I checked the PID description file and it seems to be correct.

Simon

I'll be testing it today to figure out what the problem is.
Meanwhile, after you get that message, please save a trace file and sent it to me. F2->F3->F1.

In Options.ini can I have multiple PCU sections (e.g. PCU_A, PCU_B)...?
