TunerPro issues
Trying to data log after burning a chip to send to my tuner. I’ve followed every set of directions I’ve come across online but miss XDF or DA2 files I get won’t open. And I also can’t seem to connect to the PCM. I have the correct ports and drivers, can verify the connection through TunerPro but still not getting anywhere.

You need to download the DA2.ads file and convert it to an adx file with the import definition from ads tool under the Acquisition tab.
You only need the adx file for logging so you can ignore the xdf file. The xdf file is only used for viewing/editing the contents of the bin file.

You have literally no clue what you're talking about.
DA2 has absolute garbage support on TunerPro (unfortunately). What you tried to do was load an editing definition for editing a BIN file (XDF) as a realtime datalogging definition (ADX). These are two completely and utterly different types of files.
As far as I know, DA2 only has an ADS (the older version of ADX used with ancient versions of TunerPro RT). This can be converted to ADX, but it also lacks the correct commands for Corvettes to silence the CCM and take over the bus as master (which is required for reliable datalogging). I've attached an ADX someone made that supposedly fixed these issues to my post. Enjoy.

So just to update, TunerPro somehow crashed my COM port on my PC. No disabling or reinstalling or re-downloading the drives would recover it. I actually had to factory reset the entire PC, but the COM port came back. My tuner suggested TunerCats, DataCat. Which I did end up using extremely easily. Of course its just a 10 day free trial before I have to pay but even at the price would still pay that's how easy it was to use. The tuner I'm using is from LT1pcmtuning.com. Dude has been super helpful with the setup and answering emails. He sent all the cables and a chip. I downloaded his base tune took it for a drive with data logging and sent him the data. He's adjusting it now and Ill repeat the steps till we're happy. He also offers 1 free tune after the initial.
