BB Logging beta update: May 19, 2008

[Aint Skeered]

WHere do I find the latest update? my may 19th update is not allowing pass through or when Viewing my file on scantool, my wide band serial is not showing. I dont have serial Calc Ben 1 pids. and not able to look at my wideband on scantool while replaying logs from bbl.

I forwarded JoeCarr my log and he was able to see my air fuel ratio on his computer.

What am I missing?

At the moment you can do either of passthru or BBL but not both at the same time.

I can view your log just fine on my two laptops... I can see your serial AFR and BEN.

There must be something missing on your setup... I pm'd Tech Support.

I will try it again in pass though. SHould it work with the wideband hooked up in serial to the v2 and show on the laptop in pass though?

Don't have FlashScan displaying the wideband O2 screen or BBL logging when trying to log data in passthrough from the PC. Those three tasks are mutually exclusive. (I may need to force FlashScan to cancel BB logging and/or WO2 display when passthrough logging is started).

Just leave FlashScan displaying a menu (not logging or displaying any data) when you want to log passthrough data.

You can log serial wideband in passthrough mode simply by having the wide band serial plugged into FlashScan.

As long as the left orange LED is on or flashing, then serial data is being received by FlashScan. The PC will automatically retrieve that serial data from FlashScan when you have the EXT.WO2AFR1 and/or EXT.WO2AFR2 PIDs selected.

How stable is the BB Logging, I have been waiting to try

[SOMhaveit]

OK. So I followed the directions in the Read Me file and put the latest version of V7.5 on my computer. I downloaded the files and they were not unzipped into a folder named \Program Files, they were unloaded into a temporary IE file. I tried several times and it always opened in a temporary file. So I went ahead and upgraded boot block and now I'm in dead poll mode. So how do I get out of dead poll mode?

[Duramax 6.6L]

you must install the firmware now.

[SOMhaveit]

I would, but you can't install the firmware in dead poll mode can you? I get a $0024 error or something like that which plasters across my screen and ad infinatum. What am I missing?

To update the firmware the unit must be in dead poll

FlashScan and AutoCal are designed to be field upgradeable and have been configured with two
distinct software modules:
1. The boot block.
2. The firmware.
The boot block is a small, simple program that only has enough power to communicate with the
host PC, to perform various “power on self tests” (POSTs) and to erase and reprogram the
firmware. The boot block cannot erase or reprogram itself.
The firmware is the main program that controls the keypad, the screen and performs various data
logging and diagnostic scan tool duties. The firmware cannot erase or reprogram itself.
How to tell which mode is executing:
• When FlashScan is in dead poll mode, i.e. under boot block control, the two orange LEDs
will flash alternately.
• When AutoCal is in dead poll mode, i.e. under boot block control, the LCD backlight will
flash.
• When FlashScan or AutoCal are operating normally, i.e. under firmware control, the LCD
screen will display the normal menu options.
To be able to program new firmware into FlashScan or AutoCal, it MUST be in dead poll mode.
When you click the [Program] button in EFILive_Explorer, dead poll mode will be requested prior
to beginning the firmware update.
You may select dead poll mode manually by holding down the Ctrl key on FlashScan’s keypad or
the Ok key on AutoCal’s keypad while connecting the USB cable from the PC to the FlashScan or
AutoCal device.
To be able to program a new boot block into FlashScan or AutoCal, it MUST be operating
normally under firmware control. When you click the [Program] button in EFILive_Explorer, the
boot block will be updated, and then the first sector of the firmware will be deliberately erased.
The deliberate erasure forces FlashScan or AutoCal into dead poll mode until new firmware is
programmed. So after a successful boot block upgrade, FlashScan or AutoCal will enter and stay
in dead poll mode until new firmware is programmed into it.
Attempting to program the boot block when in dead poll mode DOES NOT WORK. Even
though FlashScan or AutoCal may indicate that the boot block has been successfully
updated.
