EFILive V8 Software

V8.3.19

· Added editing support for E80, E81, E82 and E84.

· Fixed A40 operating system segment checksum calculations.

· Added *.xcal conversion for CM2450A files.

· Added option to configure the CAN ID (or VPW ID) used by OBDII based wide band controllers for pass-through logging.

· Fixed "Integer Overflow" error in scan tool when displaying +/-Infinite PID values (i.e. calculated or external values that contain a "divide by zero" operation).

· Fixed E86B JTAG/KTAG import file checksum failures.

· Changed E86A and E86B checksum display to show the full 32 bit value not just the low 16 bits.

· Updated the search option to also search through row labels if/when calibrations have text based row labels. Note: Column labels are not searched.

· Fixed problem when saving a tune file that contains comments. The software does not "remember" that the file has been saved and keeps prompting the user to save the file.

· Added blank *.cam files to allow users to construct *.cax8 calibration mappings for E01, E41, E88, E90, E93, E99 and T87A controllers. WARNING: EFILive does not manage nor update the torque checksums if/when any of those controllers' files are edited using user defined *.cax8 files. Do not modify torque calibrations via *.cax8 definitions.

· Fixed calibration search failing to find floating point values.

· Added calibration search range option, use the "><" prefix to search for a range of values. I.e. use ><500:1000 as the search term to search for values in the range 500..1000.

V8.3.18

· Added virtual torque modelling for E92.

· Fixed "Abstract Error" when adding a new calculated PID in the Scan window when a Tune window is open in the background.

· Removed PID validation requirement when pass-thru data logging for wide band controllers using the OBDII CAN interface to transmit wideband data.

· Fixed problem where meta data segments that were too large were causing the AutoCal V2 firmware to mis-read the Remote AutoCal License number which meant the file was incorrectly rejected for flashing (error $0536) even though the file was linked to the correct AutoCal. To apply the fix (which reduced the size of the meta data segments), the tune file must be opened in the V8 software and re-saved.

V8.3.17

· Fixed fault that caused encrypted *.cax8 files to fail to load.

· Added option to convert single V7 cax definitions to V8 cax8 definitions.

· Added more descriptive error messages (based on the new, unique return codes from the firmware) when license conversion-codes fail in [F7: Licenses]->[F5: Convert].

V8.3.16

· Added EFI_ScriptName intrinsic variable to *.Lua script so that a script can "know" its own name.

· Added Oil Life Reset option to [F4: OBD] window.

· Fixed EFILive Explorer not accepting user's first device selection when multiple devices were connected.

· Fixed display of ALT calibration when comparing 2 calibration tables when the axis labels are decrementing rather than incrementing.

· Generic PID $0013 "O2 Sensor Location" was displaying sensor locations backwards - i.e. "Yes=Sensor not Present" and "No=Sensor Present". That has now been changed to "Yes=Sensor Present" and "No=Sensor not Present".

EFILive V7 Software

V7.5.46

· Version synchronization.

V7.5.45

· Version synchronization.

FlashScan/AutoCal V3 Firmware

V3.00.089

· Boot block (V3.00.006) updated with more comprehensive SDRAM error checking at startup.

· Added option to configure the CAN ID (or VPW ID) used by OBDII based wide band controllers for black box logging and pass-thru logging.

V3.00.088

· Removed PID validation requirement when pass-thru data logging for wide band controllers using the OBDII CAN interface to transmit wideband data.

V3.00.087

· Implemented external PID transmission via F, S and V frames so that third party data loggers can log PID data.

V3.00.086

· Added unique return codes when license conversion-codes fail.

V3.00.085

· Fixed problem where black box logging Cummins light duty controllers would cause V3 devices to display all PIDs as "N/A" and then freeze.

FlashScan/AutoCal V2 Firmware

V2.08.187

· Added option to configure the CAN ID (or VPW ID) used by OBDII based wide band controllers for pass-thru logging only.

V2.08.186

· Added unique return codes when license conversion-codes fail.

Known Issues

· Issue #1: When logging DMA PIDs (i.e., PIDs whose names end with "_M" or "_DMA"), if the ignition is switched off for an extended period while data logging but data logging is not terminated, then when the ignition is switched on again the data log automatically continues. However, the DMA PIDs may no longer return valid data.
Workaround: EFILive recommends stopping the data log and restarting the data log when switching off the ignition for extended periods.
