How do I choose between FlashScan V3 and AutoCal, and what tune file format does EFI Live use?
Here is what the documentation says. Each point links to its source; tables and names vary by computer, operating system and tuning software.
- AutoCal V3 is compatible with FlashScan V3, FlashScan V2, and FlashScan HD hardware. (EFILive)
- An AutoCal cannot create, edit, or save tune files; a FlashScan must prepare the tunes, the AutoCal must be linked to that FlashScan, and tunes must be saved with the 'Save Tune files for AutoCal' option. (EFILive)
