Default Trouble DataLogging

Went to datalog my MPT tune tonight and couldnt get it to log anything besides ambient temp which obviosuly wouldnt show Mpt anything. I plug in sct to obd2 and usb to laptop. Check comms in livewire and load the config file supplied. Start truck and begin logging, all of the parameters fail to log besides the amb temp. I also tried starting the log then starting truck but to no avail. As far as i know my sct is up to date as i just updated it in the last month to load preloaded sct and this mpt tune.

Any insight on what im doing wrong?

Lots of views but no replies. Guess nobody has run into this. You have the GenII on your laptop? Hopefully you can call MPT or SCT and they can solve it. Don't forget to let us know what it was.

It would be nice to have a list of PIDs required for data logging a tune. I believe you can data log with just the SF3 (just one log) and transfer to a laptop afterward, but you would have to select the PIDS during the set up. Dealing with all that equipment while driving is cumbersome. But I need to get past that and log the MPT tunes so I have something to send for a revision on the high knock retard counts I am seeing with Torque Pro.
Edit: CoreyMS was good enough to post a SF3 only config file on the SSI forum and there may be one here also.
Yes, there is a sticky from Corey at the top of this page.

After making this thread i found his sticky and found one step he does that may solve my issue. I'll be trying it out tonight.

MPT sends you the config file with all PIDs they look for so no issue there.

Get Mike to remote connect with your lap top and he can trouble shoot it.

How is this possible when youre driving around with no internet access? Or do you not need internet? No clue when it comes to that

Step by step with a config file that will set your pids via an import. Hey, if I could follow it and get a successful save log, anyone can!
