ECU Template
The following is highly recommended to be done only by experienced PC users.
When creating a new ECU, CAT automatically uses the settings of the ECU template as default values
for the new ECU. Frames and Signal Definitions are linked to the ECU as well as Diagnostic relevant
Data. But the original delivery software of CAT contains no or only a minimum of default settings
cause these are mostly company and vehicle specific data.
To create the own ECU template do the following steps:
- Create a new vehicle in a database of the choice.
- Setup an ECU corresponding to the general diagnostic needs of the vehicles:
- define DPIDs and DPID signals,
- setup DIDs,
- define special DTCs,
- setup the FSA List,
- and define CPIDs.
- Create Frames linked to the ECU that shall be defined as default.
- Create Signals linked to the Frames that shall be defined as default.
- Look for the Db# and V# in brackets that are written in the title bar behind the names given to the database
and vehicle.
Note: All Database related data are stored in Database folders named Db# (Db1, Db2, ...). These
folders are located in the folder "CAT_Destination_Folder"\Data\(CAT_Destination_Folder is the
folder that has been chosen when installing CAT. These folder again contain V# folder storing vehicle
related data and contain also ECU# data.
- Copy the content of the ECU1 folder located in "CAT_Destination_Folder"\Data\Db#\V# (# corresponding
to the entries in the title bar) into the folder ...\Data\Temp_ecu, especially the folders Diagnost and
Standard.
Use the standard file managing programs (like Explorer or File Manager) to copy these folders.
The next time, when creating an ECU the done settings will be the default values.
