I recently installed dsmlink, and for the most part its working correctly, however I seem to be having an issue with logging, for some reason it is not logging the following values(and possibly others that I don't have it set to show on screen):
Throttle position
TPS volts
ISC position
MAF hz
STFT
LTFT Lo
LTFT Mid
Raw knock
Battery
This is frustrating me bc Idk the issue, and I can't even start tuning till I have some of these values, when I have the log on screen, it shows them in their respective boxes, but they are grayed out and display no values. Any help appreciated. Will attach a log as an example shortly.

I think you misunderstood my issue, it is SET to log those values already, I know how to add values to be logged, the issue is that it is not logging some of the values despite that.

They show up on the log display, but are grayed out and have no value. Pretty frustrating, I can't even verify my ISC stepper motor is set right...At least I was able to set the timing though.
 
I just thought of what might be the issue, when you set the items to be logged/captured, is that something that it stores in the ECU itself? If so, then that is most likely the issue, I replaced my battery terminals at about the same time and had some issues with them, the new ones sucked and couldn't carry any current, I had to put my old ones back on bc everytime I tried to start the car the electric went dead as if the battery(which is brand new) was out of juice. There is a very good chance the ECU lost juice after I initially set the values to be logged, and I guess the software on the laptop retained the values I wanted monitored-I'll have to doublecheck later-but I think this is what happened, makes sense anyways.
