MEFIburn
MEFIburn
allows you to move your tuning definitions between the MEFI controller
and your PC or Laptop computer.
There are 2 main functions
in the program, Uploading (sending a tune from the PC to the MEFI
controller) and Downloading (retrieving a tune from your MEFI controller
to your PC).
Before doing either of
these functions, you need to tell the system what type of controller you
are using and what COM port on the PC to use. The Preferences selection
allows you to do that (on the menu under File->Preferences, or by
clicking on one of the MEFI or COM buttons on the Upload or Download
Pages).
The preferences allow you
to select COM1 through COM8 for communications. The MEFI Scan & Tune
cable is a USB cable, but it installs as a virtual COM port on your PC.
You can also select your controller type. The MEFIburn program can work
with MEFI1, MEFI2, MEFI3, and MEFI4 controllers, as well as several
variations of each. The Preferences box specifies the part numbers of
each controller type to aid in the MEFI type selection.
Once the preferences have
been set, Downloading can begin.
Browse to specify the name
of a file to save your tune. Tune files can be saved as:
 |
Binary (the default type) |
|
PTP (a Motorola S-Record format)
|
|
CAL (an IngeniusPro file format) |
Once the file name has been
specified, click "Download Now" to save the file to your PC.
Sometimes, the MEFI
controller has been programmed with a password to protect a proprietary
tune. The tune will not download properly in this case until the MEFI
controller has been unlocked. This is only applicable to MEFI4, MEFI-4A
and MEFI-4B. If this is the case, under Tools->Unlock Controller, you
can enter a password
Once the controller has
been unlocked, it will allow free communications until the ignition has
been turned off. After that, the controller must be unlocked again. If
the password is not available or has been forgotten, there is another
more drastic option - you can clear out the controller.
This will completely erase
any tune in the controller along with any password lock. You can then
start with a stock tune and modify it to suit your needs. Of course any
password-locked custom tune already in the controller will be lost.
After editing the tune, the
next step is uploading the tune back into the controller.
Just as with the download
function, browse to select the tune on your PC (BIN, PTP, or CAL types)
and click "Upload Now".
Sometimes you may need to
convert a file from one type to another, so we have provided a handy
file conversion tool to allow you to move files between BIN, PTP amd CAL
types
