Most of all areas same as 2D mode, except Working area. Moving mouse cursor to cell shows information about value of cell: original and modified value, absolute and percentage difference. HEX mode working area Selection area for modification can be done by mouse with hit mouse button 1.

All modified data shows different color settings by Color dialog, independent of 2D mode colors:

MAP mode window

To open MAP mode Swiftec need have maps loaded, or automatically detect, or created by user. After select one of map, on main window title, shows more map information. MAP mode window description Selected MAP mode window have few part: Menu Toolbar Working area MAP list window Information about loaded original, modified and map files.

Most of all areas same as HEX mode, except MAP list window. Depends of maps settings Axis values can be modified also. All changes shows different colors, settings by Color dialog, similar HEX mode. Moving mouse cursor to cell shows information about value of cell: original and modified value, absolute and percentage difference. Context menu have few more new functions:

Swap axis current map can be swapped using this function Copy val to similar MAPs automatically detects similar maps and copy there new value of selected area Copy % to similar MAPs automatically detects similar maps and change there percentage between original and modified values of selected area View mode view maps. It can be normal view when grid shows modified values, difference view shows in grid difference between original and modified values, % view - shows in grid percentage difference between original and modified values. Map Manager invoke Map manager module functions: create, edit ,copy, delete, save maps. MAP list window

Theres 3 types of maps: My Maps(user created maps), Loaded maps(downloaded from VCPowerTeam website), Automatically detected maps, imported ASAP2 maps. Each of them can be edited or copied. User maps gets automatically saved when close Swiftec or close project. Any changes immediate gets map names bold.

Swiftec modules
Conversion module Currently module supports few types of independent conversions algorithms: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Bosch EDC16 coding/decoding Bosch M155 coding/decoding Siemens F200 coding/decoding Siemens 2001 coding/decoding Motorola HEX coding/decoding

6. 7. 8. 9.

Intel HEX coding/decoding EPROM splitting 16Bit project EPROM joining two 8Bit files to one 16Bit project Project duplication:

Import/export module This module based on conversion module, with some additional features like import Bdm To Go, ZIP, RAR files. Imported files can be increased or reduced to new size with different directions: start, end, offset. Emprty areas will be automatically filled by FF hexadecimal. With exporting, by default, old file size shown in size field and can be easy used to remember imported one size. One more feature is automatically detection format of imported files, so You only need click OK button:

Search/Replace module Can be invoked from 2D or HEX mode. It can be use for search and replace 8,16,32 bits values decimal or hexadecimal and text values, also can be used mask ?.

Properties module This module can be invoked anytime with working Swiftec by Ctrl+I.

With importing files its automatically detects checksums and ECU information, checksum 8 bit. All detected information automatically gets filled by Swiftec, so only You need its put Customer name and License plate and cars information like Brand, Model, Engine. Comment can be updated, if some more information was detected and can be easy edited by user to save some important information about project. Success result checksum detection will be shown by message:

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

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

Automatically checksum detection module This module detects licensed one checksum for use, and detects/test/correct checksum after modifying files. Checksum can be setting over Properties module or by saving user maps. Manual checksum settings can be done to: No calculation 8/16 bit checksum Complem. checksum Partial checksum Family checksums

When load before created projects its compare information about checksum in project database and warning user about different checksum settings:

Automatically ECU information detection module Currently supports Bosch, Siemens, Marelli, Temic, Delphi, Delco ECUs. Its automatically detects wheres possible ECU producer and type, software and hardware numbers, also some more different information. This module automatically using by Swiftec when import files to project database and can be anytime invoked from Properties module. Automatically maps detection module Currently supports Bosch, Siemens, Delphi, Temic ECUs. Its automatically detects wheres possible maps by VCPowerTeam private algorithm gives bestest results on market. ASAP2 import module Supports all available format ASAP2 specification, include newest ones. Project database module All files imported and modified saving to projects database and can be opened anytime. Using database have a lot information fields: customer name, car brand, model, engine, ECU, ECU SW and HW, imported size, checksum 8 bit, date and time of creating, checksum used, count of modified versions, amount of maps in project and user map name. All projects can be filtered and sorted by clicking on columns. Any of files can be exported from database to selected conversion format and saved to disk.

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

Map manager module This module features is possibly the most important one any user can create own maps with own formulas, names, offsets, conversion values. Normally accessing to map manager via 2D mode by context or main menu:

For determining start address of MAP and Axis using Mark1, Mark3, Mark4(using of it described above). After selection finished click to New MAP to invoke Map manager module:

This is the main Map manager window were all information must be filled, please notice that the start address is already filled by the information from Mark 1 address and on the X axis also start address is already filled from Mark 3 information and Y axis start address is already filled from Mark 4. Inside Map Manager window there are many available options for Map, for X axis and for Y axis. This information must be filled with knowledge of the user in order to get right conversion values, names, etc.. Swiftec already provides some standard formulas used by Bosch on their cars:

By using this direct formulas Swiftec will automatically fill information on factor and offset and convert given values: BAR- convertion given values into milibar C- convertion given values into values %- convertion given values into a percentage 1- standard look no formula given

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

Its possible to choose from any of the 3 formulas in order to get correct Offset and Factor for the given values. After all values are filled according to users choice:

A new map gets created when clicking in Save. If user wants to save the newly created map to disk, just have to click save map in Map manager menu, and a UMAP file (user map file) is created. It will be also automatically saved to database. Next time load this project saved user map will be automatically loaded:

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