When you code your car with NCS Expert, you have to follow several steps after reading the ecu:
You have to open the WORK folder, open FSW_PSW.TRC in notepad, make the changes in this file, save it as FSW_PSW.MAN, copy the FSW_PSW.TRC and rename to have a backup.
These steps can be done with this program, just to make it a bit easier...
Short description:
Button "Load TRC-file"
file loaded is ...\NCSEXPER\WORK\FSW_PSW.TRC
Select the line with the value you want to change
--> change the value in the popup screen
or choose Show values for all possible values and select one
Button "Save MAN-file"
modified file is saved as ...\NCSEXPER\WORK\FSW_PSW.MAN
--> enter a name for the backup file of the original trc and man-file
Also updating of new SP-daten files is a lot of copy, paste and adjusting files. Manual and/or with Total Commander.
These steps can also be done with this program... with 1 button...
Short description:
Button "Select SP-source"
Select the folder with the new SP daten
Button "Update SP-daten"
Only all NEWER files will be copied from:
...\SP-DATEN-Exx\ECU --> ...\EDIABAS\ECU
...\SP-DATEN-Exx\SGDAT --> ...\EC-APPS\NFS\SGDAT
...\SP-DATEN-Exx\SGDAT --> ...\NCSEXPER\SGDAT
...\SP-DATEN-Exx\DATEN --> ...\NCSEXPER\DATEN\Exx
also update of files in ...\NCSEXPER\DATEN
Button "Update WinKFP"
All folders will be copied and replaced from:
...\SP-DATEN-Exx\DATA --> ...\EC-APPS\NFS\DATA
also update of SGIDC.AS2 in ...\EC-APPS\NFS\DATA\GDATEN to adjust the "long lines"
backup's of all folders are saved as ...\name_date_time
** NEW VERSION **
Updates version 2.1.0
Extra option to show all possible values of all functions in the TRC-file. You first have to select your chassis and module. After that just select one value to change.
(The popup screen to change directly without showing all values is still there...)
Extra option to show English translation. The program is compatible with the file Translations.csv of NCS Dummy. Thanks to revtor.
(Translations.csv must be in the same path as BMW Coding Tool.exe)
Extra coding log. When you save the MAN-file the changes you made will be saved in Codinglog.txt.
Extra options in File menu:
- Load non-default TRC-file (for example a backup-file)
- Save the default TRC-file (without loading or changing)
- Empty the MAN-file
The program window is now full resizable (for low-res netbooks). Update SP-daten is possible now without the DATA folder (v45?). Improved search function.
Updates version 2.2.0
Backup both trc and man file is possible now.
The clean install of SP-daten bug is fixed.
The open work dialog default directory is fixed.

Extra option in File menu:
- Compare files: select file 1 and file 2 to trace differences

Fixed the startup positioning bug and some other things.
