Default question about downloading a tune

I just got a new race tune from Bama chips today. I downloaded the tune, the SCT software and loaded the tune according to the instructions in the email. How do I know if I actually loaded the tune onto the SCT itself. When I plugged the SCT into the computer the device turned on just fine, but when the progress bar was moving on the computer, there was nothing different on the screen of the SCT. Nothing in the options on the tuner are different, so how can I be sure it loaded?

With the Diablo software, the tune is named. Mine is HPtuners91pump.final. My other tune is 100octane.final. When I look at the screen prior to choosing the tune it gives me the choice between the two.

You should try loading it onto your car and see what it says. The same tune name that you loaded on your tuner from your computer should appear when you go to load it onto your car.

Just start up live load with you xcal connected to your computer and see if the tune is in one the 3 slots. I use specific names to make sure .
