DSORDA Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Hey guys. Just been in the process of swapping ecus, from my old Link G4 Xtreme (Red) to my new G4+ Fury.My question is, is there an easy way to transfer over my current maps from the older G4 software, to the newer G4+ ? As the older .pcl files will not open in the newer G4+ software.Am I going to be limited to opening both PC Link versions side-by-side on my laptop, and transfer each setting/table manually? Or is there an easier way?CheersIan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Yes you can convert the map. You need the new ecu powered up and connected to PClink G4+, then it will allow you to open/load up your old map, it will convert automatically. Be sure to check all sensors and new tables are reading sensible. Especially tables like short pulse width adder. TechDave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSORDA Posted July 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 So as long as I'm online with the ecu, it should let me open the file?I was going to configure the settings offline, but I'm met with this error if I try and open the G4 map Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Yes go online and it should work. I haven't done it myself recently but it used to always work that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Adam is correct, this only works when online with the G4+ ECU.Scott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSORDA Posted July 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Right, got the new Fury installed, double checked all the pin-outs and no worries there.Powered up, unlocked and Firmware updated to the latest V5.6.2.Tried to upload my .pcl file while online, and was met with this error message, and still no file uploaded. Help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Hi, that's not a problem I've come across before. I'm guessing that it does it each time you attempt to load the G4 base-map file?Can you please upload the base-map or email to [email protected] with a link to this forum thread.Scott.

DSORDA Posted July 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Yeah, I was met with that prompt regardless which .pcl file I tried to upload. I have emailed a couple of pcl's through to your email. Thanks for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Thanks Ian, I'm also encountering the problem you are seeing. I have forwarded your base-maps onto our engineering team so they can diagnose and resolve the problem. I'll be in contact when I know more.Scott.

DSORDA Posted July 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Hey Scott, received your files back but was met with the exact same prompt when I tried to upload the pcl.So I went about the issue in a round-about way. Downgraded the firmware back to 5.7, which then let me open my old pcl file. Saved that file as "Map5.7". Then re-installed the latest firmware, and uploaded "Map5.7" which it then recognised, and was happy to play ball.Just going through the configuration now to check for any differences.Many thanks for the help!
