performance out of modern electronic controlled engines such as cars, truck, bikes, boats, any engine that are 4

controlled via a ECU. It’s the ideal tool for starters, because of the support provided by the “maps”, “special maps” 5 and “super map files” add-on modules that recognize maps inside the ECU. It’s also tool for experienced and skilled 6

chiptuners because of extended automatically maps detection(Bosch, Siemens, Delphi, Temic) and map managers 7

Swiftec modules 14

15

Conversion module 16

Currently module supports few types of independent conversions algorithms: 17

1. Bosch EDC16 coding/decoding 18

2. Bosch M155 coding/decoding 19

3. Siemens F200 coding/decoding 20

4. Siemens 2001 coding/decoding 21 5. Motorola HEX coding/decoding 22

6. Intel HEX coding/decoding 1

7. EPROM splitting 16Bit project 2

8. EPROM joining two 8Bit files to one 16Bit project 3

9. Project duplication: 4

5

Import/export module 6

This module based on conversion module, with some additional features like import Bdm To Go, ZIP, RAR files. 7 Imported files can be increased or reduced to new size with different directions: start, end, offset. Emprty areas will be 8

automatically filled by FF hexadecimal. With exporting, by default, old file size shown in size field and can be easy used 9

to remember imported one size. One more feature is automatically detection format of imported files, so You only 10

need click “OK” button: 11

12

Search/Replace module 13

Can be invoked from 2D or HEX mode. It can be use for search and replace 8,16,32 bits values decimal or hexadecimal 14

and text values, also can be used mask “?”. 15

1

Properties module 2

This module can be invoked anytime with working Swiftec by “Ctrl+I”. 3

4

With importing files its automatically detects checksums and ECU information, checksum 8 bit. All detected information 5

automatically gets filled by Swiftec, so only You need it’s put Customer name and License plate and car’s information 6

like Brand, Model, Engine. Comment can be updated, if some more information was detected and can be easy edited 7

by user to save some important information about project. 8

Success result checksum detection will be shown by message: 9

1

Anytime you can change checksum by invoke project properties and click on “Checksum settings": 2

3

ECU information can be updated by “Detect ECU Info” button. If some information was found it will shows message: 4

5

Automatically checksum detection module 6 This module detects licensed one checksum for use, and detects/test/correct checksum after modifying files. Checksum 7

can be setting over Properties module or by saving user maps. Manual checksum settings can be done to: 8

- No calculation 9

- 8/16 bit checksum 10

- Complem. checksum 11

- Partial checksum 12

- Family checksums 13

1

When load before created projects it’s compare information about checksum in project database and warning user 2

about different checksum settings: 3

4

Automatically ECU information detection module 5

Currently supports Bosch, Siemens, Marelli, Temic, Delphi, Delco ECUs. It’s automatically detects where’s possible ECU 6

producer and type, software and hardware numbers, also some more different information. 7

This module automatically using by Swiftec when import files to project database and can be anytime invoked from 8

Properties module. 9

Automatically maps detection module 10

Currently supports Bosch, Siemens, Delphi, Temic ECUs. It’s automatically detects where’s possible maps by 11

VCPowerTeam private algorithm gives bestest results on market. 12

ASAP2 import module 13

Supports all available format ASAP2 specification, include newest ones. 14

Project database module 15

All files imported and modified saving to projects database and can be opened anytime. Using database have a lot 16 information fields: customer name, car brand, model, engine, ECU, ECU SW and HW, imported size, checksum 8 bit, 17

date and time of creating, checksum used, count of modified versions, amount of maps in project and user map name. 18

All projects can be filtered and sorted by clicking on columns. Any of files can be exported from database to selected 19

conversion format and saved to disk. 20

1

By double clicking mouse on some project opens modified versions of project. Same functions possible for modified 2

versions as for originals: 3

4

Map manager module 1

This module features is possibly the most important one any user can create own maps with own formulas, names, 2

offsets, conversion values. Normally accessing to map manager via 2D mode by context or main menu: 3

4

For determining start address of MAP and Axis using Mark1, Mark3, Mark4(using of it described above). After selection 5

finished click to “New MAP” to invoke Map manager module: 6

7

This is the main Map manager window were all information must be filled, please notice that the start address is 1

already filled by the information from Mark 1 address and on the X axis also start address is already filled from Mark 3 2

information and Y axis start address is already filled from Mark 4. 3

Inside Map Manager window there are many available options for Map, for X axis and for Y axis. This information must 4

be filled with knowledge of the user in order to get right conversion values, names, etc.. 5

Swiftec already provides some standard formulas used by Bosch on their cars: 6

7

By using this direct formulas Swiftec will automatically fill information on factor and offset and convert given values: 8

- BAR- convertion given values into milibar 9

- C- convertion given values into values 10

- %- convertion given values into a percentage 11

- 1- standard look no formula given 12

13

The above button allows user to create own factors and offsets by the use of formulas as shown here: 14

15

It’s possible to choose from any of the 3 formulas in order to get correct Offset and Factor for the given values. 16

After all values are filled according to users choice: 17

1

A new map gets created when clicking in “Save”. 2

If user wants to save the newly created map to disk, just have to click save map in Map manager menu, and a UMAP 3

file (user map file) is created. It will be also automatically saved to database. Next time load this project saved user 4

map will be automatically loaded: 5

6

With saving user map to disk Swiftec will ask about checksum settings for this map. 7
