Power Vision PV Log Tuner Basic/Pro Instructions and tuning tips

1. Check for Firmware update connect your Power Vision unit to your computer, open the update client and make sure you have the latest firmware. PV Log tuner requires firmware version 1.0.3-723 or later. Also make sure you have the latest PV Log Tuner software

2. 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. You will need to switch the software user level to Pro by going to Setup/Options/User Level in WinPv

3. Mount the Power Vision on your bike, go to Datalog/Assign Signals and configure your Power Vision to datalog the following channels: 

MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure)
TP (Throttle Position)
Engine Temp
Engine Speed (RPM)
Accel Enrichment
Desired/Set AFR (if you have an AFR based fuel table) OR
Desired/Set Lambda (if you have a Lambda based fuel table)
Warmup AFR (for AFR calibrations) OR
Warmup Lambda (for Lambda calibrations)
Front Spark Knock Retard
Rear Spark Knock Retard 
VE New Front
VE New Rear

Note:
Log only these specific channels

If you are using the Auto Tune Module/Auto Tune Pro you will also log:
Lambda 1 (Dynojet Channel)
Lambda 2 (Dynojet Channel)

**OPTIONAL LOG TUNING METHOD** As an alternative to logging the channels noted above you can also use the following procedure on your Power Vision unit. Go to Settings/Enter Code and enter the PIN number 319245 which will bring up a mini tuning screen which will not only allow you to monitor your hits in real time with a tracer cell, it also automatically logs the correct channels required for your calibration. You can start and stop logs right from this screen as well.

4. Datalog with the Power Vision. Start the bike go to Datalog/Gauges and press “start log”. Ride the bike as normal, trying to vary the load and RPM as much as possible. It may be helpful to use the PV to display helpful channels for visual reference such as MAP, Engine temp, Throttle position, and Knock retard, make sure to press “end log” before you shut the motor off 

5. Retrieve Logs that were created from the Power Vision. Connect the unit to the USB, open the WinPV software, go to “Get Log” and retrieve your log(s) and save them to your computer 

6. Configure PV Log Tuner Software. Open PV Log Tuner software and go to “Options” and set the following parameters:

Stoich Value 14.6

Minimum Hit Count  50

Minimum Engine Temp 185

Maximum Engine Temp 288

For Auto Tune Basic check the box “HD OEM O2 sensors for correction”
For Auto Tune Pro with the AT Module check the box "Use Auto Tune for correction"

Note 1: If you have a 2011-2012 Softail or 2012 Dyna model you must turn on HD-CAN enabled tuning by hitting the Contol-E keys in the log tuner software

Note 2: If you have your original factory O2 sensors installed as well as the Auto Tune sensors at the same time you can check the boxes for both the OEM sensors and Auto Tune and Log Tuner will use data from the factory sensors during normal closed loop operation and data from the AT sensors in the open loop areas of your calibration. This works very well 

7. Import Value File  go to “Open PVV” and load the value file that was created in Step 1 

8. Import Logs go to “Open Logs” and  load the log files that were created in Step 4. You can load a single or multiple logs  

9. Calculate Tune  click  “Calc Tune” which will calculate corrected VE values and Spark Tables for the conditions and events that were datalogged. You can click on the tree view to see each calculated table 

10. Apply Tune click “Apply Tune” which will apply the new calculated VE/Spark values to the original Power Vision value file that was loaded in Step 7 

11. Save PVV click “Apply PVV” which will create a new Value File with your corrected tables, you will name this file and save it to your computer 

12. Import Value File Using WinPV open your original calibration and import the value file created from Step 11. Make sure your use the same calibration that was used while datalogging in step 4. To import the Value File open your Power Vision calibration, go to File/Load All Values and select the PVV that you created and saved in step 11.  
13. Reflash ECM now that you have an updated calibration, save this calibration with WinPv, send it to your Tune manager and flash your ECM. Make sure that when you flash your updated calibration that you reset the fuel trims

 

Tips/Advanced options 

Keep log sessions to 15-30 minute session, this keeps the logs a reasonable size and is generally ideal for collecting and sorting data 

You must have a closed loop calibration to use Log Tuner Basic. To enable closed loop, Lambda values must be between .98 and 1.02 for Lambda based calibrations, AFR based calibrations must be set to 14.6

PV Log Tuner uses only certain data and also has specific filters, however for the quickest results it is recommended that you disable Accelerator Enrichment, Decel Enleanment, and PE Fuel during the log tuning process. To disable AE and DE you can go right to the AE/DE Multipliers and change them to 0, and for PE set the PE Enable RPM above 6200

Log Tuner Basic will populate approx 2/3 of the normal operating range of the VE tables using the standard Lambda/AFR table in most Fuel Moto closed loop calibrations, and in most cases higher RPM/Load areas should be well within reasonable tune for a given combinaion. However more advanced users may choose to increase the area that PV Log Tuner Basic will populate by enlarging the closed loop area of the AFR/Lambda table. This is done by extending the Lambda/AFR values up to approx 4000 RPM and 80Kpa. I recommend first doing some PV Log Tuner corrections with our standard AFR/Lambda table and then if necessary extending the tables which will allow you to gather additional data. Note if you extend the closed loop area it is also critical to monitor engine temp and spark knock if you are setting up the table for closed loop operation in higher load areas. As a general guideline I would also recommend removing approx 4 degrees of spark timing as well. Also note if you are extending the closed loop range that when you are done logging and create your tune that you return your AFR/Lambda table to the original desired settings to ensure a proper mixture.

When using Log Tuner Pro with the Auto Tune we find it generally works best if you set the Fuel table to a single value when tuning, this works especially well for visual reference when tuning. We generally set this to 13.0 AFR/.89 Lambda, when your tune is developed you can set the Fuel Table to your preference
