The table I posted was the result when I select all cells and set them to 14.8. There's 4 areas with different max amounts they will go to. I was trying to do a manual log tune run and I couldn't set the whole map to 1.

There are step by step directions for Log Tuner on the Fuel Moto web site at:
http://www.fuelmotousa.com/site/pvlogtuner.html
Follow the directions one step at a time until you are comfortable with the process. It's not difficult.

You are correct, I did mean Log Tuner..I've read those instructions several times, for some reason I can't follow thru with them.. I'm going to click my heals together three times while repeating "It's not difficult"

I made some notes to the procedure to try to clarify things. See if this helps.

New question: can the power vision display actual fuel used as a gauge (gallons or litres)?

I see that it can display fuel economy (mpg or l/100km) and distance, therefore it must know what the actual fuel usage is.

Yes it can. The signal is trip A or B fuel used. You need to reset the trip meters when you fuel up for this to be accurate.

Thanks nhrider1

It might take me a day or two to get another change to do another datalog but I'll use your notes next time I give Log Tuner a go.
I get this message when I hit Calc Tune Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Just throwing this up for anyone needing an inexpensive mount for their PV. I have this and it works great on my 883 handle bars:

It looks like there is something wrong with the value file created in step 2.

The first time you use log tuner you have to create a value file. This file is only a template, but it sets up the tables needed to process your log files.

The file is created in WinPV. Make sure you're in Pro level or you won't be able to see the tables (GO to: Setup/Options/User Level in WinPV to select Pro)

I just went back and looked at the error again. There is a problem with the log file (log0014.csv) on the VE channel.

Check to see if you assigned all the signals in step 3.
