Standard Exchange Format

Would really like to see HPTuners come out with some
means of cross-platform (but same powerplant) .bin
sharing. Because we can't read different-year, model
.bins there is a real impediment to tune-sharing. If the
data were exported to a "standard cal database" form
and importable from same, something divorced from
the lower-level details of PCM organization / segmenting
or whatever, that would really be spiffy. And if this
database happened to be Excel based, one worksheet
per editor tab or whatever, that would be spiffy with
extra cheese. But some sort of cal-data-only meta-file
that would let the 'Vette guys "talk to" the F-body guys,
etc.

Seems like this would be doable and a real bonus to the
user community. The import/export would be unique to
vehicle type or group but I reckon you guys have the
map already and it's mostly the grunt detail work of
export and import "macros" after defining the superset
database.

I agree. This would help tremendously.

While I agree it would be cool to be able to read other bin files, does LS1Edit let you read bin files other than your own? If not, at least we have the ability to share tunes across a whole model year instead of being locked to our own bin file. We have it so much better than the Edit people it's sick.
