HPTuners VCM Suite
I've roughed out the framework for a companion program for HPTuners that will read exported histos and allow tuning tables to be trended in various directions and limited in certain ways using calculations across multiple tables and give a snapshot of the expected result of the retune. The 'Load' button loads data into a spreadsheet. (working) The 'Show/Hide...' button allows the user to view and directly change loaded data. (working) 'Recalc' would reread the data from the spreadsheet and update the Snapshot in the main window. The power buttons would trend tables upward or downward. The % would represent the max move of data for any range that will allow a 100% move in data. (based on powerband) 'Commit...' would write changes to the histo files. 'Auto-limit' would prevent certain parameters from incrementing beyond a certain point. Obviously, there will be other things to add. If there is interest in this and I feel like I am having success with it, I'll open a new thread for it.

Thank you for the kind feedback. Certainly, I should hope that it would give some idea of what to expect after flashing the car. Not sure how specific I can get with that at this stage. I'm aiming for a sort of code editor type of application. It could show visually when certain parameters are being/have been pushed out of proportion. It could give warnings/tips like 'Calibration is not for 2.5Bar' or 'Commanded boost is outside range of sensors' or 'Setting has reached maximum and is effectively limited vs other tables' or 'You'll blow your d@mn car up with those settings'. The powerband calculation could be made a configuration file so tuners could customize it to their specs or specific gearing.
I could personalize it for you for when you use HPTuners, LOL. "foolmoon_design, you may experience an unscheduled, abrupt engine disassembly with current settings!". Kind of like the robot in the I, Robot movie, "You are experiencing a car accident".
