How to make simulation file on PIWIS 3<\/a> from own car and used it later to simulate coding before real coding done on car.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Step 1: Connect and Start Recording<\/p>\n

Connect your diagnostic tool to the car.<\/p>\n

Go to the Overview Menu.<\/p>\n

Ideally, do this before identifying all modules.<\/p>\n

Select All modules in the menu.<\/p>\n

Press F10 (Logs) \u2192 Select Simulation Data.<\/p>\n

Choose Start Recording \u2192 Execute.<\/p>\n

A red dot will appear in the top right corner, indicating that recording has started.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Read Control Modules<\/p>\n

Go back and select the Audio Module (as an example).<\/p>\n

Press F12 to initiate communication with the car\u2019s control modules.<\/p>\n

Once modules are identified, the data will populate.<\/p>\n

Continue pulling more data by clicking through each tab (one after another).<\/p>\n

You may select all to capture complete data from your car.<\/p>\n

\u26a0\ufe0f If not connected to a car, no data will appear (simulation mode only).<\/p>\n

\"\"
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 3: Access Coding Values<\/p>\n

Open another tab (e.g., Coding).<\/p>\n

Select All, then continue forward.<\/p>\n

You will now see your car\u2019s coding values.<\/p>\n

After finishing this process:<\/p>\n

Press F10 \u2192 Simulation Data \u2192 Stop Recording \u2192 Execute.<\/p>\n

Step 4: Save the Simulation File<\/p>\n

Once recording stops, you\u2019ll be prompted to save the file.<\/p>\n

Rename it as you wish, then click Save.<\/p>\n

The simulation file will be stored at:<\/p>\n

E:\\PV\\User Data\\PIDT\\Simulation Data<\/p>\n

You can:<\/p>\n

Send the file directly.<\/p>\n

Compress it into a .zip file for easier sharing.<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 5: Use the Simulation File in Your Project<\/p>\n

Place the saved file into your 992 project folder.<\/p>\n

Rename it if needed (e.g., MyCarFIN).<\/p>\n

Update your Default Simulation INI to reference this file:<\/p>\n

Change the existing entry to match your new file name.<\/p>\n

If you want multiple selectable simulations, create additional groups in the INI file.<\/p>\n

Example:<\/p>\n

[DefaultSimulation]
\nName=MyCarFIN
\nFile=MyCarFIN_Simulation.xml<\/p>\n

Save changes. Now you\u2019ll have multiple simulation options available.<\/p>\n

Final Notes<\/p>\n

Always ensure you\u2019re connected to the car before recording (otherwise no data will be collected).<\/p>\n

Keep backups of your simulation files.<\/p>\n

For convenience, use .zip format when sharing.<\/p>\n
