I must be retarded or something, I still cant get figure this out. I have 5 different icon for this thing when ever I try to open a file I have the chessy one that come with the software or it wants me to connect to the car. I cant look at the file that are on the V2 scanner.
Click on the EFILive Tune Tool icon. Click on File, then open. Select the tune file you want to view. Click on Engine Calibration. You should be able to see all of the calibrations in the tune file.
If you want to look at a log, you have to use the Scan Tool icon. Same thing. Open a file and then you can play it, look at the maps, and follow the values of the PID's.

I'm doing that stuff but what I'm missing is getting the file from my V2 scan tool to that location. I've been playing with it I have the tune file I can look at now but the data log looks like its a notebook file and not the correct format. Maybe it didnt save correctly when I logged it. I was doing the log then I just shut the car off and unplugged it. Is there another step to get the log file saved in the V2?
Thanks you for the help guys.

You got the log file and the tune file moved from your V2 to your PC...?
Now, open them using the V7 scantool/tunetool, you should see your tunetool highlight the cell that the scantool cursor is on... (for some pids you have to first set them to the same units as is shown in the tunetool, e.g. set MAP to Metric in the scantool, then in the tunetool on the VE table axis it follows the scantool cursor)
[ you also have to do this: in the tunetool, go Edit->Properties->Scanner and checkmark both items under Pid Data Links ]
