Default '99 Vette Predator computer interface question

I've got the 7198 version for the '99 c5, and I've loaded all applicable software and downloaded everything from the diablosport website that I can find, but I don't see any way to interact with my PC or view files. I've uploaded several .crg files from my tuner, but I can't view them on my pc.

Is this supported? Am I missing something? I saw software downloads for the other versions of the tuner, but nothing for my 7198. Is there any PC interaction ability with my Predator and the tunes stored in it at all?

thanks

Like you have been to the diablosport website but did not find any applicable updates for my vehicle, a 2001. In talking to Diablo they sell Ticks, what in the world those are (options I guess) then they issue a password for the programmer during the downloads, so just downloading the data is not readable without the password.

Did you get a chance to read the article in Vette or Corvette magazine about changing the air fuel mixture -5% which allegedly gives you 12 hp at the rear wheels? I know Vettes run rich, but what is safe without burning valves.

yeah, I've been messing with it for years, and I bought an LM-1 wideband to monitor the a/f. I just would like to see the tables that were altered and so forth. I guess I'll give them a call.
