Dude, you really NEED to read the manual. A PID is a Parameter IDentification (TPS, RPM, VSS, stuff like that).

BTW, the yellow button won't show the grafts on dash B, it will only show the readings on the gauges on dash A. You have to be logging (red button) for info to show on dash B. I don't think you can go from monitoring (yellow button) to logging (red button). You have to stop monitoring and then start logging.
