    Am I doing something incorrectly?

    No I did not.
    I was uncertain of where to put it and did not want to "experiment" for fear of bricking my autocal.

    I know how to get to the BBX section. What do I do from there?

    Save your file in the following location:

    \My Documents\EFILive\V8\Config

    Then with your AutoCal connected to your PC, open the V8 software, select BBX, then from the F2 Scan menu (you should default to that page anyway)

    Select Open (from the buttons at the bottom of the screen)
    Select your file and click open (The pop up will land you where you saved your file)
    Select the Program drop down and select Program Selections Only. This step will ensure any tune files or log files you have on your device will not be replaced during the programming process.

    If in doubt, back those files up first using EFI Explorer and save them to your PC.

    Cheers
    Cindy

    Ok I think there are two issues here.

    1. You are pausing the log, not stopping it. This will truncate the log file and can result in only the file header info being saved (2Kb in size). Normally this only occurs in sort logs though, with longer logs resulting in the last few minutes being truncated. It also flags an error on the SD card that requires a "disk check" to fix. This process can also truncate the file. To stop the log, press <cancel> and the Autocal should drop back to the menu after saving the file.
    2. the "settings" file is a list of parameters to record data from. If the Autocal is in its 'vanilla' state, it will have nothing configured to log. So the log files won't contain any data. Once you have uploaded the parameters (as per Cindy's post) it should work better.

    Cindy's instructions definitely fixed my issue.

    But I will say, I left out a few steps when I described how I save my logs.
    When stopping my data log, I hit "Ok" button on the Autocal, I then hit the "Previous" button and "EXIT" will show on the display. I then hit "Ok" once more, then it says..."Saving Log"(or something to that effect). Then I disconnect.

    Much thanks to all of you, for all your help. It is GREATLY appreciated!

    Thanks to you all, I'm back up and running...errrr...recording
