Completely new to the game. Need a little guidance.

So im pretty confused on using the tunerpro rt with my usb aldl cable. Mainly what files i need for my truck. I have a bone stock 1994 chevy k1500 with 4l60e trans. My ecm is the 16197427 BJLF. There are so many files i find on threads thats its confusing which ones i need. According to the excel sheet my mask is $OD. What confuses me is the .xdf and the .adx im not sure which is which. Should i be using the (A218 Trans2 $0D TP5 v250.adx) and the (Advanced $0D TP5 v251.xdf)? Whats the diference between Trans1 and Trans2? What does the tp5 stand for? And finally is the v250 the version?
And is it safe to assume i need to use this .bin (BJLF 94 C-K Truck 5.7TBI 4l60e with 3.08 or 3.42 gears.bin) since i have a 3.42?

The ADX files are Data Aquition files. TP4 and TP5 are versions of tunerpro.
You should have the latest version of tunerpro , which is Version 5 (TP5).
Download and use A217 $0D TP5 v250.adx from this thread http://www.gearhead-efi.com/Fuel-Inj...Information-0D
For the xdf file, which is the bin definition file, use the Advanced $0D TP5 v251.xdf
Use the BJLF bin file which matches your current vehicle, hopefully your good to go.

Hopefully this link may help also, lots of information to read.

The XDF file, is the file you need to be able to view a Bin file in easy to read format. If you cant pull the bin from your own pcm in your truck, pick a $OD bin file that is the closest match to your truck. EX- Motor size, Trans, and gear ratio. And make sure if you dont live in Cali, to only use one that does not say California emissions in label.

Ok awesome. Thanks for clarifying for me.
