Ok I watched the video and read the specs.. so I'm trying to understand why the use of a USB drive?? and why didn't you just make the memory internal to the device? FAT32 has a 2Gb or 4Gb storage limit which in my mind is not a lot. Now I"m not familiar yet as to the size of a flash file for ECU, TCU, or the amount of data logging you can do with that storage limitation. I didn't see in the video how you choose between the 4 files stored on the USB jump drive. Another question would be what if you usb stick became corrupt, lost or non functioning? Since you already purchased the tunes I'm assuming you have a way to get them loaded onto another usb jump drive? So does that make the tune customizable by GIAC or tuner?
Thanks
We decided on a USB drive due to the fact that we wanted to allow customers to be able to customize the files to their liking. Meaning being to setup their USB drive how they want to. It also allows the user to share files with others and data log very easily where if all this was stored in the device, then another interface would have had to be implemented in the device itself and not all computers would have been able to read the device.
As far as storage capacity goes you can all 4 folders within the USB drive and have additional files store on it and it only takes up about 90MB. The files are not very large at all. As far as data logging it creates an excel file that is almost like a spread sheet within the USB drive which the vehicle can data log for about 2 hours non stop and it would take about 2MB of disk space if not less than that.
The way you choose the files is by a toggle switch on the side of the device. It has 4 switch positions. Each position has a folder within the USB drive to correspond with it. For instance there is a folder on the USB drive labeled "2". So you move the switch to position 2 and plug the device in and it will then flash the file within that folder.
If the files or the USB drive gets corrupt, you can easily use another USB drive to handle these files or simply call/email GIAC to obtain your files again.
