Trying to learn how to tune.
I see people post "attached files", but every time I click on to one, all I see are a million little boxes. LOL.
I'm old school and not computer savy.

Download the attachment to your computer to a known location, Desktop might be the simplest location to start off.

If it's an .hpl file, open it with the HPTuners VCM Scanner software but you won't see much without the proper .cfg file (scanner configuration) for the log you downloaded.

If it's an .hpt file, open it with the HPTuners VCM Editor software.
