In EFI Explorer you want to drag and drop the options.txt file and the file for the particular ECM you are wanting to log

 

[SSchmi5519]

under the "config files" tab

where do i find this "options.txt " at?
also what is said file?

all i understand is i pull said pid file that i use when i have 7.5 open logging via the pc.. and that hasnt worked

 

[malibu795]

i beliver i found said "options.txt" i can get various pid file names e35a e35b e60 etc pulled up on the V2... when i select said pid file mainle the E35a i get no file or folder found

 

[SSchmi5519]

For the LBZ ecm it is the E35A

yes i know that, and it still says file not found $0185 even after i selected all theses it wont recogenize it either hooked to the truck or the pc.... what am i missing?!? the "DMAX LMM-LBZ NEED TO KNOW.pid" is what i use to log data via the pc

oh go in the config folder and try using the one with the .pmm extension

 

[SSchmi5519]

wait are you trying to BBx log? If so you just go into V8, click the BBx box, scan tab, then check your ecm and uncheck the rest, and program.

i want to be able to do what i posted up in the first post.. ie fuel, air, as i understand its a live feed.. and much safer looking it while going down the road then trying to look at my screen bouncing on the passenger seat while weaving through truck traffic on a grade.
where is the BBx box at?

 

[SSchmi5519]

the BBx box is in the left column in the V8 software.

What version of v8 are you using? there should be a slew of .pmm files in that config folder

found those .pmm files where do i get the PIDs from? or are they already in the .pmm file?

It is soooo much easier if you just use the Scan and Tune software. Drag and drop. :thumb:

Yeah that's what I use is the V8

 

[SSchmi5519]

they are in the pmm

 

[malibu795]

got the .pmm file v2 hooked it to the truck, state the EFI_PIDS ECM=MAIN1Q_M was selected and un supported and de-select...
open scan n tune.. deselect said pid.... and find out all pids are metric..... how do i swap to sae?
