What is WinOLS?

You can tune anything with WinOLS, right?

WinOLS is a binary editor that allows us to take raw data from our ECU and structure it in a way that allows us to make calibration, or tuning, changes. The skills required to do this are very different from those required for tuning, and they include a heavy reliance on pattern recognition the application of which will vary between ECU brands and series.

I cant believe I've had to wait five years for this course, now ill have to dig up my old project. Excellent guys really grateful I thought no one cared about these legacy ECUs

Just watched the podcast about winols. Very exited to watch this vid

Intriguing. I've been aware of what WinOLS is and what it does for at least 10 years at this point. Never tried it because I can't envision how a regular enthusiast could do anything useful with it. I could certainly be wrong...

...but I've done ECU calibration for two major automobile manufacturers. I'm intimately familiar with the binary, the hexadecimal, the binary (.s19) and the "damos" (.A2L) file that come together during a flash to provide the actual calibration. When I left my last calibration job in 2015, our ECU had over 150, 000 calibrateables. Parsing through all that junk, theorizing what is what, and then testing changes to confirm/deny those theories seems like an untenable and highly daunting task - it was hard enough to tune everything to work right when I *HAD* the definition file and a department full of other calibration engineers to ask questions. Maybe I'm just dumb...

...but also, I lost count of how many times aftermarket tuners tried to bribe me into sharing the intellectual property that are the .A2L/damos/definition files that hold the keys to the kingdom. My point is that if WinOLS was a reasonably easy thing to use to unlock the kingdom - why were so many tuners offering me so much money to steal it from my employer and sell to them?

Not poo-pooing WinOLS - perhaps it's just (way, way, way) beyond my pay grade.

I use OLS to tune my 2 liter 8 valve vw. Motronic 5.9

The question I have is if it is worth learning and using WinOLS today? By the level of complexity and the way the new ECU is going and the other option to tune an ECU in the market.

WinOLS is amazing, but you must have a Damos file for whatever ECU you are making changes too.

What are the possibilities of using some of the new ai technologies that have become popular and accessible to help search for maps. In my case I’d like to create a definition for an automatic transmission ecu which are quite hard to come by, but the standard transmission variant has several defined xmls available online. I wonder if I can feed the ai the defined xmls to then search for undefined ones? I’m aware this software does this but what are the differences between something like chatgpt and regular pattern recognition

Looking to make tunes for caterpillar 420f backhoe, trying to simply buy a tune brought me this deep. Buying Cat ET comm 3 this program and heading towards doing my own tuning. Anyone been down this journey id love to hear ur success
