I am trying to data log with my tuner and for some reason the data capture option isn't working. Is there a file that I need to be able to use this feature on my tuner? I'm pretty sure all of the firmware is up to date.

When I do it I just plug my tuner in connect it to my laptop open live link and open the configuration my tuner sent me. I believe if you don't have a configuration you go to one of the menus and select what PIDS you want (this is all done in live link). I do nothing with my programmer other than hook it up.

I've found that it helps to hook up items in a proper order.
1. plug in the xcal to the laptop and bring up the xcal software
2. plug in the sct to the obd port
3. select/start datalogging; it will require the key to be turned on while it reads the pids and stuff. (or, once you get a set of values set up, save it as a configuration, and then you only have to Open Configuration to get all the items selected that you want).

I got it, had to close out the live link and bring it back up and it worked. Thanks all!
