So this is the sites official AE thread?
I just updated my software and not sure what is what anymore.
I did a power balance test and clicked on a tab and it showed each injector in a number form instead of a bar graph. What do those #'s mean? Also why can I not block the auto smoothing of the injectors during the test?

I have found AE has different options and tests for 7.3 and 6.0
Makes sense I guess. I didn't know what to do with the power balance test, either, since I was expecting a CCT
BTW, I think it was on a 2005 6.0, so it was full OBDII, too

I've seen PERDELs from a Power Balance Test, so I surmise the PBT(?) is a rebranded CCT. Saying that, I haven't personally hooked AE up to a 6.0L yet... but I have access to one. Now... if I could just find where I left that extra time lying about - I've looked everywhere.

Yes running it on a 6.0L !
The 7.3 Excursions I found were 15k higher then the one owner, no maintenance done to it, 2 small dents and 1 scratch in the door 6.0L I found for 12k.
So I bought someones neglected POS(my wife's opinion) and have built a love and hate relationship with the beast as we call her. The Excursion not my wife. I hated the wife after the vows!

I'm not a fan of Giotto, but with this new v13.3 - I am curious if they have solved some serious issues. The lack of the ability to save sessions is a huge check mark against the big G. Their math on a few key sensors was really screwy on earlier versions - like MAP falling under heavy acceleration.

I just got the same email. The generic update link shows dongles, vci, etc. No way to know for sure what you might need to update the software...
My AE is out on loan, won't see it until Monday eve. It might come home, it might stay, depending on what progress we make Monday, so I can't be the guinea pig...yet
