EFILive Release Notes

Aug 13, 2015

Version Numbers

     V7.5 Software: V7.5.7, Build 291

     V8 Software: V8.2.2, Build 284

     FlashScan/AutoCal Firmware: V2.07.89 (Aug 13, 2015)

     FlashScan/AutoCal Boot Block: V2.07.07 (Feb 07, 2014)

IMPORTANT

     The Auto-Lock implementation for E39, E92 and E98 controllers requires that tuners and customers upgrade their AutoCal and FlashScan firmware to V2.07.86 or later. The upgrade is required to prevent *.ctz and *.coz tune files created using this pre-release (or later) from being used with older software or firmware.

Tuners: If you update your software and firmware and attempt to deliver new tune files to your customers, then your customers must also update to this same version or they will not be able to flash those new tune files.

Existing tune files will continue to work normally with the new software.

EFILive V7.5

Calibration Updates:

·         Added support for T87 transmission controller.

·         Added support for E98 diesel controller.

·         Added E92 OS 12670745.

Enhancements:

     Added Auto-Locking support for E39 and E98 controllers.

     *.cax files may now be placed in \My Documents\EFILive\V7.5\User Configuration\.

Bug Fixes:

     Updated E92 fuel pressure tables.

     Added missing diesel injector PIDs.

EFILive V8

Known Issues:

     When Black Box Logging PIDs from an ECM and TCM simultaneously and a PID is selected from the transmission controller (TCM) that has an identically named PID in the engine controller (ECM), (i.e. RPM) then when the log file is opened in the V8 software for viewing, the TCM PID will be displayed as if it originated from the ECM. The PID's data will have correctly been logged from the TCM, only its name will appear to indicate that it was logged from the ECM.
Workaround: None. It is a restriction of the *.efi (V7.5 log file format). That restriction will be removed and the TCM PIDs will display their true origin once the V8 scan tool software is available.

Enhancements:

     Added Auto-Locking support for E39 and E98 controllers.

     Added filename to error messages during bulk *.ctz->*.coz file conversions to easily identify which files could not be converted.

     Added error code/description lookup option in the [F8: Tools] window.

     When setting security options in the Quick Setup window, FlashScan is queried silently for license information without disturbing any existing AutoCal connection.

     Removed the [Ok] prompt when adding a remote AutoCal license to a Quick Setup file.

     Added a calculated PID function compareFloat(v1,v2,epsilon) to compare two floating point values. Returns true if v1 and v2 differ by less than epsilon otherwise returns false.

Bug Fixes:

     PIDs containing sub-PIDs were not displaying correctly in the chart display nor in the data display during log file playback.

     Black Box Custom units and alarm user configurations were not being loaded from the Black Box options text files.

     Frame counter on data display was not being updated correctly during log file playback.

     Channel allocation meters for PID selections in [F2: Scan] and [F5: BBX] windows are now more accurate.

     On the [F5: BBX]->[F6: Quick Setup] tab page, when attempting to add or remove an AutoCal Remote License to one or more files (that support the EFILocker COS Patch) and the “When Saving Tune Files for AutoCal”->“Automatically set the Auto-Lock security restriction” property is active, a warning is displayed explaining that Auto-Lock is not supported or is only supported via the V7 EFILocker COS Patch.

     Fixed Access Violation that may occur when deleting “Scan Controller” items from the [F5: BBX] tab page.

     Fixed E98 serial number displaying incorrectly.

     The most recently used BBX setup file is now being loaded when the [F5: BBX] window is opened.

     Fixed bug that mishandled negative values for some PIDs when displaying log files.

FlashScan/AutoCal

Enhancements:

     Added E92 OS 12663390 to OS compatibility matrix.

Bug Fixes:

     Black Box Logging would fail if unsupported DMA PIDs were selected. Now the unsupported PIDs show as “N/A”.

     If too many PIDs were selected, resulting in more than 7 dynamic packets of PID channel data (approx. 49 channels) then the BBL would stall and not log any data.
