EvoScan: Errors were found in the original data.xml (Mac)

I'm simply trying to edit JDM MAP to log boost but I'm getting, "Sorry, Errors were found in the original data.xml, you can not save the xml file until all errors are corrected first."

Search yields no results

I'm on a MacBook Pro running Parallels and EvoScan v2.9.0023. I have uninstalled and reinstalled with no luck.

Anyone experience this?

**** SOLUTION ****

You need to edit the XML file. I have a 2006 Evo 9 so my xml file is Mitsubishi MUTII EFI.xml If you are unsure which file to use open EvoScan and look at the Select ECU setting to help you determine which xml file to open.

It can be found here in your EvoScan folder: / DataSettings / Mitsubishi MUTII EFI.xml

Open the xml file in textEdit or your text editor of your choice.

Search "JDM MAP"

Locate "Eval = 0.19347*x-14.5"

Change the eval to 0.2369*x-14.3 (14.3 is based on your atmospheric pressure where you live)

Change "GaugeMax" and "ChartMax" from 30 to 35

Save the file and open EvoScan and locate JDM MAP and compare the Function column to what you just added, should match.

In virtual dyno, if running 1.2.3, open options, go to tab columns and profiles, check boost and type in JDMMAP, save.

You can now show boost in VD.

Sounds like data.xml is corrupted. Get an unmolested data.xml from someone running the same version of EvoScan

Actually I just re-read what you wrote. If you install and don't edit you don't get any issues starting EvoScan right. It only happens after you edit the data.xml file?

Correct. Opens, runs, logs just fine. Only when I right click edit, edit a field and click OK I get the error. Could there be a permissions issue?

If you edit a field and change a number from say 2 to 3 and then save does it work or not? That would tell you if its permission issues or if its what you are trying to edit.

Yeah it's any field I try to edit I get that error. I haven't really dug around for the data.xml file yet but I didn't see it anywhere, you recall where exactly it is?

Thanks for helping!

I got the same error on a different computer running the same setup and mine after a new hard drive and fresh install. Changing the permissions doesn't help either. Thanks to Tom of tscomp I have a solution and I wanted to share with those few who may have the problem.

You need to edit the XML file. I have a 2006 Evo 9 so my xml file is Mitsubishi MUTII EFI.xml If you are unsure which file to use open EvoScan and look at the Select ECU setting to help you determine which xml file to open.

So I edited the xml file as described and it reflected the changes in evoscan. That still doesnt explain why I can't change/edit the files directly from the item/edit menu in evo scan.

You only get the error when you go to save right? Probably a design flaw with the program but it doesn't matter if you are getting this error there is an error in the data.xml file. If you open it in Internet Explorer it should tell you what line is wrong.

Yes, only get the error when trying to edit within evoscan. Otherwise it's good-to-go when logging. It's mainly just an annoyance and I was concerned it was a sign of a bigger underlying issue. I will try to find the error using IE. Thanks for the tip.

Heres the xml file if anyone cares to take a look and see if there is anything obviously wrong with it.

You sure this is the right file? From an xml POV it looks fine. What version of evoscan are you using and is this xml from the same version?
