WinOLS is an application, which is written especially to modify the memory contents of ECUs.
It makes it easier to search and find maps, which can be named, displayed in several ways and be modified. All data and maps are stored in project files. These project files contain all information, which are gathered during the modification of the ECU. Additional data like customer name, license plate and pictures can be added.
Modifications of maps can be stored as ‘versions’ and can be commented. Up to 200 versions of one original file are possible.
All modified projects are shown in a list, which can be filtered and sorted. So it is easy to find an already modified project again.
Overview:
The display of raw data takes place in 2D graphic or hex/decimal dump. Automatic processor detection to decide between code and data areas.
Functions to search for maps and to put them down on the map list makes efficient working a lot easier.
A 3D preview window makes it easier to find maps
Maps can be shown as 3D/2D chart or as a table.
Automatic search of ECU and software numbers.
You can select either English or German as the interface language and switch between these.
The concept of the integrated checksum correction has been kept up. By using DLL files the algorithms were moved out of the main program and thus are independent of the version used.
Import and export of binary files, Intel and Motorola-Hexfiles. All types can be zipped, coded and have swapped lines or be sent directly by mail.
WinOLS5; What's new:
More speed, more RAM and dark mode:
If you have many / large projects, WinOLS 5 is considerably faster. In the project list, when connecting and generally when working with maps.
WinOLS 5 brings true 64-bit, so there is always enough RAM available.
WinOLS 5 now supports a dark mode for the user interface.
New features:
Edit > Smooth values
Window > Command line (dockable dialog)
Window > Window List (dockable dialog)
In the Project Open dialog you can use the Options button to assign background colors depending on the project icon
Data type Float 64
A map database for the automatic naming of maps: Youtube
Improvements:
A preview when importing .kp files
Differences dialog: New option key with new functions
Map axis profiles now support groups, so you can assign Map+x+y in one go
Project properties > Some ECU popup menus contain links to the online dealer locator
New update policy:
There is a lot of development work in WinOLS 5 and we are planning many great features for the future. Therefore, after 20 years of delivering updates and features for free, we have to introduce an annual update fee from now on.
The price of the update to WinOLS 5 includes updates and new features for 1 year. Customers who have purchased WinOLS in the last 6 months will receive the update to WinOLS 5 free of charge.
Compatibility:
WinOLS 5 requires Windows 10, 64 bit.
WinOLS 5 supports current EVC hardware like UCM100, BDM100, BSL100, OLS300. Megaprommer MP2240P and OLS16 are no longer supported.
WinOLS 5 can be installed and used in parallel with WinOLS 4 and uses the same license, i.e. you do not need another license for a WinOLS 5 installation on a computer where WinOLS 4 is already installed. Also the .ols file format remains the same.
Further development:
WinOLS 4 will continue to be maintained for 2 years, i.e. bugs will be corrected, but no new features will be added.
All checksums will be updated further, in parallel as 32-bit WinOLS 4 as well as 64-bit WinOLS 5 version.
