EFILive V8 Software

V8.3.25

· Added option to allow non-supported operating system numbers to be recognized by the V8 software for scanning.

· Standardized keyboard Tab sequences in Edit->Properties window.

· Fixed E47 part number display in the [F4: OBD] window. The part numbers were off by one segment.

· Added ability to un-dock some of the tab pages in the scan tool so that multiple tab pages can be viewed at the same time. Very useful when you have multiple monitors with plenty of screen real-estate.

· Updated Lua scripting engine from 5.3.5 to 5.4.2.

· Fixed checksum failure on A40 operating system 7IE.

· Fixed [Clear DTCs] option to clear both emissions related trouble codes and manufacturer enhanced trouble codes.

· Fixed interpolated gradient tool so that it will work when the axis labels are non-numeric. In such a case the axis labels are considered to be numerically incrementing from 0, irrespective of the actual text on the labels.

V8.3.24

· Fixed VIN change option on the CM2450B (CMF) controller - which was failing with error $0101 "No data received." if the "Clear DTCs before changing VIN" checkbox was checked (even when it was disabled)".

· When unlocking controllers via the [F3: Tune]->[F2: Read]->[Lock/Unlock] option with the "Try Common Alternate Keys" method selected, the ECM would not allow itself to be unlocked even when the correct alternate unlock key was computed and used.

· Fixed justification of Y-axis on the right end of each chart. They were right justified, should have been left justified.

V8.3.23

· Added two new serial-based, wide-band, BEN factor PIDs: BENLAM_1 and BENLAM_2, based on commanded v's actual lambda.

· Added visual/color alarms for dashboard gauges.

· Added right-click option to manually reset min/max, tell-tale values on dashboard gauges (or hotkey Ctrl+R).

· Fixed selection bug when moving gauges up/down in the gauge list of the dashboard editor.

· Fixed "Item not found" error when deleting a gauge while it was expanded, with its details visible.

· Fixed bug that allowed non-calculated PIDs to be added to an existing data log. Only calculated PIDs may be added to an existing data log.

· Fixed "integer overflow" error when loading user defined PIDs that have one or more DMA operating systems defined but zero DMA PIDs defined.

FlashScan/AutoCal V3 Firmware

V3.00.093

· Increased brightness of some display items to make them easier to see in bright, daylight conditions.

· Updated Lua scripting engine from 5.3.5 to 5.4.2.

· Added Lua scripting support for adding custom features/options to FlashScan/AutoCal V3 user defined menus.

for more info and examples.

V3.00.092

· When black box logging an external CAN based wide-band data, the PIDs were being incorrectly renamed from "GPM.pidname" to "WO2.pidname". That meant those PIDs would not be displayed correctly when the BBX log file was displayed in the V8 scan tool.

V3.00.091

· When flashing a tune file via an AutoCal device, verify that the AutoCal is linked to a FlashScan device before checking if the tune file is linked to the AutoCal. That way an un-linked AutoCal will report that it is unlinked instead of the more confusing error of "the tune file is not linked to the AutoCal".

FlashScan/AutoCal V2 Firmware

V2.08.190

· When flashing a tune file via an AutoCal device, verify that the AutoCal is linked to a FlashScan device before checking if the tune file is linked to the AutoCal. That way an un-linked AutoCal will report that it is unlinked instead of the more confusing error of "the tune file is not linked to the AutoCal".

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.
