Default PowerVision LogTuner Basic Help - recording values

Hi Guys
need your help on using the Basic Log Tuner for power vision if you don't mind
I have a 2010 Vrscaw with K&N and Screamin Eagle slip-on Muffler.
In PowerVision preconfigured tunes there's not this configuration available so I've been contacting Dyno Tech support; they told me to start using a configuration pretty close to mine (CaryFaas Slip-on) and then using the log tuner option for optimizing 100% the tune on my bike's setup and or riding style. I've been following step-by step the guideline, creating logtuner value .pvv and .pvt files starting from the suggested tune; created the signal list (from vehicle) on PowerVision, customized gauges (from vehicle list), flashed the ECM and collected a 25minutes log driving.

The problem is that when I calculate the tune on PVLogTuner, there's no delta becasue in my log there's no records about
AccEnr
TP
SPARK Knock F
SPARK Knock R

But I have those items in my signal list and in Gauges...could you help me to understand why are no recorded? any advise?
Thank you guys
Dani

Instead of creating a signal list do this:

With the PV connected to your bike and ignition and run switch on, from the main menu screen, select "Settings", then "Enter Code". On that screen enter pin 319245 and select Save. Once the screen comes up, you can press start log just like you do on the gauges screen to begin datalogging. This will setup all the signals you need and write to the log. Just remember to start and stop the log.

Odd question, but did you marry the PV to your bike in the initial setup?

Did you open up the log file in excel to see what is being recorded?
Did you follow the creating a value file exactly? I would delete the one you made and do it over again.

Create a Value File. Open your calibration in the WinPV software and create a Power Vision value file under File/Save Selected Values that has the following tables: VE front, VE rear, AFR or Lambda fuel table, and Front and Rear Spark tables. Select the tables by clicking the check box beside each table as below and then go to File – Save Selected Values. Name the file and save under the value file subdirectory. I suggest naming your calibration, value files, etc with a sequential number on the end to make it easier to keep up with the current version. For example, save the Value file as 08-JKPT-001.pvv

Follow these steps to the letter and you should be fine. Remember to use the same PV tune to datalog and create the pvv with. Even if you make the pvv after datalogging it won't make a difference since the .pvv only comes into play at home using PV logtuner

I knew there was a later version to the one I had but couldn't find it. These directions are outstanding.
