Powervision question.
Just installed a Powervision on my dyna that I got from fuel moto, flashed the custom tune they loaded and started the bike. Is there anywhere on the Powervision I can look to verify the tune that’s on it ?

In the power vision you can "save current tune" to power vision. It will ask what slot to save it. Pick one. it should read the same as the one the FM gave you. Also, you can remove the PV from the bike after the save. Fire up your computer, and if you didn't already ,download the software from Dynojet.( Power Vision Software 64-Bit Version PowerVisionSoftwareInstaller) You can pull the tune from the PV and and display all the parameters in the software. You can also open 2 tunes at the same time ( the one you were sent, and the one you pulled off the bike) and compare them.
My guess is, if you loaded it and it told to cycle the ignition, it was loaded. .

Doesn’t look like PV or WinPV will be getting any more updates ☹️

A Dyna is up to 2017, the power vision still works on these , It doesn't work on the 23.5 and up center-cooled.And who said anything about log files, he just want to check what tune is installed.

As mentioned, you can read a copy of current and compare that in WinPV or C3. That's probably the most thorough way to tell, although some of the EEPROM items might not match in that case. But all the non-EEPROM items should.
Alternatively:
1) You could pull the log from the device using WinPV (Get ECM Data, grab DiagnosticsHistory.txt and save it off to your PC), take a look at the last entry for a tune write. If it says success, it loaded, and that's the last tune on there, assuming you haven't touched the bike with any other flash tools since..
2) Or, if you have the tune they sent you and you look at the tune in WinPV or C3, check out its CalID item. Do [Tools}>{Vehicle Info] while connected to the bike and if the CalID matches what the tune showed, pretty good chance that's what is loaded.
EDIT: On second thought, if you have a tune built off your STK and the CalID wasn't changed, then option 2 above would be useless. Guess I didn't think of that.
EDIT2: On third thought, option 1 might be bad too...? IIRC it maybe logs the "current" CalID when writing a tune (i.e. what was in the ECM before the tune write), so that's probably a bad idea too. My bad!
