Let's start with the basics:

Do you have the xdf file to go with the bin file?
The XDF is what TP uses to map out what is in the bin file and translates it into somethat that is easily interpreted as coherant numbers and graphs.

For datalogging do you have the correct ADS file for youe ECM. This is another file that interprets the data coming on the ALDL, and converts it to what is shown on your screen as recognizable numbers and flags.

First you most have the number off your ecm a number thats on the ecmbox in your car (ex: 1227747=$42) and your can bin (ex:angl).
Then you can find the xdf or ecu to your car and tunerpro.
Open tunerpro /xdf/select xdf
if its a ecu you import it from xdf/import /from ecu and save it as xdf.
Then you can open the bin thats for your ecm.

For the aldl you need ads fore your ecm number (ex:1227747 have $42).
Open tunerpro rt/tools/aldl/data logging/setup on the datastream definition klick on browse mark the ads for your ecm open.
if you going to rec you need to enter a name to save it.

If you have the ecm number and bin file i can try to help you find it.
