Application

Vehicle definitions are identified by the information contained
on the Application tab-page. This information is not used by EFILive, it is
simply a way to categorise different vehicle definitions. If a large enough
database of definitions is collected this information would serve as search
criteria to help locate specific vehicle definitions.
Code
Each vehicle definition is identified by its unique code.
If a filename of the form <code>.bmp exists in the current directory
then that bitmap image will be displayed in the area provided. Usually the
bitmap image will be a picture of the type of vehicle on which this definition
may be used.
The code is also used as a default prefix on log files that are saved. This
helps to identify which log files belong to which vehicle definitions.
