Can't Find PV Log Files To Open In Excel
I know I'm going to get a good bashing for asking this but this what's happening: I follow the instructions for "Get Log From PV"
To Get a Log from the Power Vision
1 Select PowerVision >Get Log from PV or click the Get Log button .
2 Select the log file you wish to get from the Power Vision.
3 Click OK.
4 Browse to the location ( C:\Program Files\Power Vision\Log Files is what I use) you wish to save your log file and click OK.
5 Click OK.
The log file is now ready to be opened with Excel.
When I go and search these folders to open the files up, the file folders show as empty
One thing I have noticed is that when I'm saving files from the PV through the WinPV software there is a lock icon to the left of a file name of previous files saved from the PV. When I go back to the file folder through windows explorer or the open function in excel none of the files with the lock icon are displayed.

You could search using a "wild card" such as "*.xls"

This is the symbol, sorry but the iPhone doesn't focus well up close
I know the files are there, this is the view I get through the WinPV open dialog. I do have to change the the file type to all files instead of .pvt to see them in the folder. When I try to re-save them from the PV I get the message "that this file allready exists, would I like to replace it"
Here is the exact same file in window's explorer
Here it is when I try to use the open function in excel
Has anyone seen this before?

Those are PVV (Power Vision Value) files and are almost useless for viewing the data in any sort of logical way. There is a setting to change from that data format to creating a CSV file. Most of the people posting usable graphs around here and on other sites are using software designed for viewing engine logs. Excel makes this stuff way more difficult.

Got them to show and then open by hitting "Compatibility Files" at the top of the page in Window's explorer.
