WinOLS Mastery: Map Identification & Editing: Step 2: Create New Project
Step 2: Create New Project

00:00 | - Now that we have the raw binary file read from the ECU, we'll want to create a new project in WinOLS so that we can begin working with it. |
00:07 | This process is detailed in the practical skills section of the course so we won't repeat everything here but there are a few key aspects worth reiterating. |
00:15 | When we select new project, there are a variety of options to bring the binary file into OLS. |
00:21 | If you're using a third party tool for reading and writing then you'll be selecting file as the data source and we can simply select the file that we've just read and saved in the last step. |
00:31 | This is why good file management practices are important as it makes it very easy to find the specific file that you need. |
00:38 | Once the file is imported, you'll need to also populate the project properties information. |
00:42 | It's worth taking the time here to fill in as much information about the vehicle, ECU and engine as you can so that you'll have an accurate record of the entire project if you're referring back to it at a later time. |
00:55 | This lets you keep track of your files and becomes increasingly important as your library of files grows or you may want to start selling these files to other tuners. |
01:05 | Once we've populated the data, we can click OK and OLS will perform an initial search through the binary file to find what it thinks are maps. |
01:13 | As we've already discussed, this process is usually of limited value but now that we've got our file into OLS, we can of course do this manually. |
01:22 | With our project created, we can move onto the next step of our process. |
