GlobalTIS Guide
GlobalTIS is the backbone of Saab electronic diagnostics under the GM era. Acting as a local server (offline equivalent of TIS2Web), it is the only way to provide the 'Security Access' required by the Tech2 for sensitive operations like key pairing. It also hosts the SPS (Service Programming System) for flashing ECU firmware and calibrations. This guide details the full step-by-step installation.
