Very new to D.I.Y computer tuning
I just received everything I need to program my own chips today from Moates. Currently I am working with the burn2 and tunerproRT. I am just trying to read the stock prom that originally came on my camaro, as well as a spare/faulty level 5 prom from TPIS (my current engine would not start on this prom because it would not produce fuel injector pulse). Anyways, I am just trying to figure out how to get some data up on tunerpro from these chips and try to start getting comfortable with tunerpro.
I believe I have read both chips properly with the burn 2 because it said that it was sucessful, I have saved these files. To my understanding, I need to go to tunerpro.net and download the bin and datastream definitions. I wanted to grab the 32b and the 6e files. Well, it said that I just needed to right click those files and save them. My problem is that I dont get a "save" option when I right click these files. Has anyone else run into this problem before?

Re: Very new to D.I.Y computer tuning
If you read both chips, and save them as bins on your pc, can you reload them in F&B and hit "Verify Chip w/ Buffer" and what does it say? If it went right, and the chip matches the bin you've loaded, you should get a success message.
The only thing you need to start getting up and datalogging is your .adx file which is your datastream definition.
.bin - the file that is on the PROM or chip which runs the engine
.xdf - the 'mask' that enables you to manipulate the .bin in a program like TunerPro
.adx or .ads - the datastream definition that enables you to log data

I went and looked at the files of the chips I read and noticed they are being stored as a vlc file. Could this be part of my problem?

Re: Very new to D.I.Y computer tuning
No that shouldn't matter. For whatever reason those files are being associated as media content thus the VLC thing. Right click on one of those bins and click properties, then you'll see "opens with" and a change button next to it. You can click change and then select TunerPro in order to make those files associated with TunerPro instead of VLC or whatever program is defaulting to open those files.
