Jamie has posted that IN this thread. and keep in mind this thread is a mix of all different years of bikes.

Like I mentioned in a prior post, Autotune is used to set VEs, once your VEs are set you can fatten up the fuel and start riding the bike like you normally would. Data logging is only used to show you where to make adjustments to fix any concerns.
At least that's how I do it using autotune basic, maybe someone with a better method will chime in.

When running a data log ride the bike and try to duplicate the concern that you want to address.
In my case I've had to deal with pinging under load, so I would ride my bike up a steep grade while logging.
The bike would ping, I'd capture the data and load the log file on to my computer and make any adjustments in the tune manually.

When I view the data log using Excel on my computer I get these parameters.

Time
IAT
Kpa
RPMs
Knock Retard Rear
Head temp
Knock Retard Front
AFR
Spark adv F
Spark adv R
Throttle pos.
Vehicle speed

I'm sure I could change those if I wanted.

My question is will the ecm change anything on the maps by itself? I loaded a map a few days ago and the map that I loaded is now different than before. There are subtle changes to the map and I did not run autotune on it yet. I did do a VERY short datalog but that was it.
Under Airflow the Throttle Blade Control changed from 3.0 in the 2.5 column to 2.5;
the front and rear VE tables changed slightl.

I didn't think that the ecm would make changes to these things (or maybe I missed something.

Thank you for the reply. But, how do I set up my gauges. Every time I go into that area while riding it doesn't show me anything active. I can see the different gauges but there isn't any changing data in those windows except for my trip ones. I have never set up any of the gauges because I have no idea how to I just thought they would work. It auto tunes fine but no active gauges

An Example would be my rear cylinder, the ecm will pull -5 degrees of timing at 58kpa 2800 rpm so that's the area that I hit (50kpa 2750rpm). I'll blend the surrounding areas by a few degrees just for a smooth transition.

Looking at your deltas you seem to be blanketing whole entire areas.

If you go back a few pages you can download the tune I'm working with, not to use (unless you want to) but to give you an idea on what I did with the timing.

Here's the current tune I'm using now https://www.dropbox.com/s/kkosgfpjbt...91514.pvt?dl=0
I still have some adjustments to make but it's just about finished.
