Send map is what saves it to the base map.
Thanks for following, untamed. I did some messing around with the software this AM and I think I have it figured out.
Get Map gets the whole map with all tables from the PCV and puts a copy on your laptop. Now you can mess with that all you want without changing the real map in the PCV.
Send Map sends the whole map you have on your lap top to the PCV and overwrites the entire map that was there.
Get Table gets whatever table you have opened on the laptop from the PCV. The table from the PCV overwrites the table that was opened on the laptop.
Send Table Sends ONLY the table that is currently opened on the laptop to the PCV and overwrites the table that was in the PCV.
SO what I was doing was, Trims>Get Table>Map Tools>AutoTune Tables>Accept All Trims>OK>Send Table.....thinking sending the trims table would complete the permanent adjustment. After all, the trims table is open, I did just click Accept All Trims and OKed it and the trims were applied according to the message box (probably status bar too). So why would I send the whole map? Just send table, right? NO, no, no. After accepting trims and OKing, the fuel table on the laptop is adjusted. If you recall this zeros out the trims table on the laptop. By clicking Send Table, I was sending a zeroed out trims table to the PCV which essentially has no effect on anything. If i would have had the fuel table open after accepting trims and OKing and then clicked send table, the adjusted fuel table would have been sent to the PCV and the tuning process would have proceeded as it should. Tried it out with a manual adjustment this morn and that's how it works.
Based on this, I'd say you could accept trims after each run you do so the fuel table in the laptop carries the net adjustment of all. As long as you save a copy of this on the desktop you could send the whole map or just the fuel table to adjust the map in the PCV at a later time if you want. Once you shut the computer off though, the whole map therein is discarded so Save Map or Send Map or Send Table with fuel table open before shutting down.
Moral of the story is, Send the whole map or if you want to just send the fuel table, make sure that is what you have open when sending.
I'm at a loss as to how I ended up with negligible trims by accepting trims to the fuel table on the laptop and sending zeroed out trims to the PCV. There must have been something more happening but I'm not going to worry about it now that I have the right way understood.
