can't log knocksum...

I have done some logging using evoscan before and I have always been able to log knock but only recently it stopped working. I do not have any CELs on. The only thing is when I try to log load, afr, etc I cannot see any knocksum. I looked up the definition for it and it is only listed as "x" Am I missing come sort of calculation of some sort? thanks

Do you have "Knock Sum" checked inside EvoScan so that it's logged? Does Knock Sum show any values in EvoScan when it's logging? Cause if its not logging in EvoScan's interface it won't be logged to file.

Is the request number 26? Also, is it not showing any values at all or it only shows zero?

If you had a bad sensor I'd imagine you'd be throwing a code. But, at this point it seems like the only logical solution. Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling EvoScan and the FTDI USB drivers for the Tactrix cable? Also, what version of EvoScan are you using?
