    Rolly,
    The bin Dave posted is a $31 Mask. You need to load the $31 XDF. Different mask will show different values because the parameters are in different locations within the bin file.
    Hope this helps,
    Brian

    I've attached the $31 .xdf and $31 .adx files you need for TunerPro RT.

    Yes! Maybe this helps explain some things.

    Rolly, the different chip ID's you see, $31, $0E, and $0D, are identifiers for where the specific variables are arranged within the calibration. When you load an XDF, Tunerpro is instructed to treat each variable in each defined location a certain way. There will be a variable (or table) name and a conversion factor so the binary value represents a number we understand. If a .bin with the wrong mask ID is loaded then Tunerpro does not do any sanity checking. It will treat the variables as it has been instructed, giving each the predefined name and displaying the value according to the conversion formula. It could treat temperature as timing, throttle values as O2 parameters, or fuel injector size as rpm. For many this issue never comes up but unfortunately the 7427 and sister pcm's share three commonly used mask files.

    Man, cannot thank you enough for your education on chip ID's and XDF files. Did not give this aspect any thought. Now it is burned in my memory. Must keep in mind that XDF files decode the binary values. Is the mask ID available in the .bin even if the .bin and XDF files are not properly associated? Any other tips like this that can be passed on would be greatly appreciated.

    Dave: Now I have confidence with the binary file and attached XDF and ADX files. Many thanks to you and the other fellows that chimed in. Attached is a graphic of the Injector Fuel Flow Scalars. The values look VERY reasonable. Thanks again.

    Yes, mostly. You can view it in the $31 XDF that Dave W uploaded and in the other XDF's with the filename beginning Advanced..." With the .bin loaded look at Scalars -> Mask ID. There are some exceptions but if you stick to known files and confirm the correct mask each time, you should have no problems.

    Hey Guys, need help in modifying XDF file for $31. Would like to expand columns from 11 to 16. See attached image file. Also made a test drive to record BLMs. See attached .xls file. Rick in some spots, lean in others. I can modify the VE fuel map to make these spots closer to 128. Any help with XDF file would be greatly appreciated.

    Hmmm....

    You can tell the XDF that there are 16 columns and that will make TunerPro display 16 columns. But just like using the wrong definition, if there are only 11 columns in the .bin then changing the definition will only display other values incorrectly. It is possible to change the code in the chip so there are more values but it usually isn't a trivial task.

    Thanks much for the reply. Don't want to mess with the chip except when using TunerPro.

    Dave: Thanks again. The 1994 Suburban with big block 489 cuin Edelbrock MPFI conversion is running very well. It needs a little tweaking for some of the rich and lean conditions yet they are not that bad. Thanks to all of you fellows for all your help.
