Default Gm uses microsoft

I just figured out that the operating system that gm uses in the ls series is a microsoft operating system. Try it out. from any scanner, select an entire table and hit control c on your keypad, you will then be able to post the whole table into a microsoft excel spread sheet (control v). You can also post an entire excel worksheet into the scanner the same way. I wonder if there were a way to wire the gm computer into a port on my computer and pull up the tables in on excel on my computer. This has got to be what the aftermarket tune tool guys are doing. Then they are using visual basic to make a program around the embedded spreadsheets.

Its control v and c on your computer, not in your car.

Most scanners out there have nothing to do with GM.
If an app runs under Windows, it probably just conforms
to the norms of cut, copy & paste behavior as good
policy.

Anything beyond that, is something you imagine.

This must be a joke. Either that or we now have a new candidate for most computer illiterate tuner in the world.

I assure you that there is no excel or embedded spreadsheets for a factory OS.

As a hint, you will want to learn to read data like this...
U..?Uk..}fZ.T..>}ebx@...T..>N..

And visual basic, I don't know of a single tuning software written in that language...
