Default Cylinder balance test

So I have the efi live v2 ($800 version) that I bought from a friend. I have started kinda watching and fooling with the scan tool.

I wanted to try to cylinder balance test since it intrigued me but I cannot find it. Judging by the manual it should be located in the drop down menu with change vin and all that but its not. I found the box to set the idle, turn injectors on/off, and all that but not to run this test. The crank relearn is there but that's it.

Any ideas?

i think it is in the bidirectional contorls of the scantool. I was playing around a while back and saw that and many other useful tests they have.

so all I have under the bidirectional tab are:

DVT
Change VIN
Oil life reset

In DVT all that's there related to engine are:

Fuel trim reset
Crank angle relearn
Evap service test

Do you have a recent version? Mine is under the bi-directional controls. For some reason I can't seem to get it to work right however.

It is the newest version as far as I know. All the stuff about it is in the manual but its not in any of my menus.

I just updated today just to be sure.

Also mine doesn't say "LS1/LS6 controller" or "Allison controller" is just says "DVT". Weird and frustrating.
