Maybe someone has not entered it in the mask/XDF? What mask/XDF? You can also change it in hex if we knew what bin/BCC/chip.

What XDF are you using?
The man who says something is impossible, is usually interrupted by the man doing it.
Is there somewhere I can educate myself about what your talking about? I don't even know what a mask is, why you have one or what it does. I dont even know what you are asking me. I need someone to speak english. I do understand the the xdf defines the binary and I think I understand thats what the software uses to edit the binary. I understand that binarys are 1's and 0's or ons and offs. I do not have an electronics degree nor am I a computer programmer so I can't comunicate in computer programmer language. I understand completly what fuel injectors and ignition timing does and there affect on horsepower, economy, driveability etc when they are in perfect tune. I understand inputs and outputs and what the computers do with them to alter the end results but I am lost when it comes to understanding what is happening inside the box. I don't understand i/c chips and I have no idea how or what software does to control them. Maybe if I could understand some of these things I could understand what and why you are asking me. I do not like things to be hidden from me when it comes to learning. I feel as though I am reaching into a bag hoping to pull out the lucky answers which is not the answer. I am very disappointed of the limited software help section thats available. There has got to be a better way when it comes to learning software programs for tuning, these things like masks etc are far to difficult than they could be if it were more user friendly. Usally there is description and operation that explains in advance how and what the software does. and when you do a keyword search for something embedded into the software for settings you can find it if you type it in the help search. I am sorry but this is not the case for me anyways. Nothing comes up in the help for mask ID settings that I can find.
I am using $DA3-16159278.xdf please tell me why you are asking these questions why does it make any difference which one I am using? why do you keep hiding these things? I dont understand.

The question is how do I find the mask ID I know what xdf I am using cause I loaded it. That don't tell me what mask I am using. As I said earlier the check box is nowhere to be found in the software, in this case it is tuner pro 5. I have looked through the menus and I can't find the place to adjust the mask ID.

dont you guys remember in school when the the teacher taught you to use complete sentences?
We are, but you have not completed your english assignment in EFI!
Yes it matters! If you use the wrong one it won't work or get wrong data.Originally Posted by carcaperI am using $DA3-16159278.xdf please tell me why you are asking these questions why does it make any difference which one I am using? why do you keep hiding these things? I dont understand.
Your obviously confused if you think we are hiding anything, we just thought you were up to speed with tuning termanoligy. Your not, when you don't understand a term read here or ask.

This will explain the mask ID.

This will help you look up your car. Or you could tell us year, make and model with engine size and if you know the engine RPO code?
http://www.gearhead-efi.com/Fuel-Inj...our-files-here
This will tell you what the RPO codes are, start looking at "L" if your using $DA3 your motor should be a 1993 RPO Engine Code LT1 which uses mask ID $DA3.
Pretty much all out in the open, still think we are hiding something?

Thank you Mark, this is what I needed to understand. I will read this stuff and see what I can do next. Maybe I will find it now.
ok i read about the mask but someone said to change something to "AA" in the mask ID. Where do I do this?
I don't have my laptop with me, but I am sure someone will open that .xdf and see where the location for Mask ID is for you.

You can change it with the hex editor if you know the location, but there should be parameter under the constants tab in the parameter tree on the left.

cannot find the constants tab or the parameter tree i tried right clicking left clicking menus wow I must not have the same version of tuner pro 5 you have
He's right, it's not there?
Yes but I added it to an improved XDF I made for a customer. It is the first paremeter in scalers.
I will also include the updated ADX. They work together for data tracing. Load of dashboards, not all defined, right click and choose what you want. Seperate item lists. Three monitors. History tables and all the tricks I put into these files when I work on them.
EDIT: If you downloaded the XDF before reading this, delete it or overwrite it with the XDF attached. It had Mask ID displayed as calculated value, not hex... sorry...
