INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Set Default Folders

First, configure the default folders for NCSExpert, WinKFP, and EDIABAS in the tool.

Step 2: Update SP-Daten

1. Select the SP-Daten Source Folder:

   • Click on the “Select SP-source” button.

   • Choose the folder containing the new SP-Daten files.

   • For example, start with the earliest model (E36).

   The path should resemble something like this:...\SP-DATEN-Exx

2. Update SP-Daten:

   • Click the “Update SP-Daten” button.

   • The tool will copy all newer files 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

   Additionally, it will update files in:

   • ...\NCSEXPER\DATEN

   Files that are updated will display update →. while files that remain unchanged will display remain →.

   Note: In cases where all files are already updated, they will display remain.

Step 3: Update WinKFP

1. Select the Update WinKFP Button:

   • Click the “Update WinKFP” button.

   • The tool will copy and replace all relevant files from:

     • ...\SP-DATEN-Exx\DATA → ...\EC-APPS\NFS\DATA

   • Adjust the SGIDC.AS2 File:

     • Updates will also include adjustments to the SGIDC.AS2 file in:

       • ...\EC-APPS\NFS\DATA\GDATEN

     • This ensures proper handling of "long lines."

Step 4: Backup Folders

Backups of all updated folders will be saved with timestamps in the format:...\[name_date_time]

Step 5: Repeat for All Models

Repeat the above steps for all base models, starting from E36 and continuing up to E89.

SUCCESS

Once you’ve followed all the steps, your NCSExpert and WinKFP installations will be successfully updated with the latest SP-Daten files.
