If you have activated Expert mode at least once while using WinKFPT, you have the option before
exiting WinKFPT of saving the current settings you have made in Expert mode so that you can call them
up again the next time you start the program (see “ Configuration for Expert Mode”).
As WinKFPT is terminated, the last window size and window position of the application are saved as
the entry WindowPosition in the WINKFPT.INI file.

Export Submenu
This submenu option in turn activates a pull-down menu that contains the following options:
You export a "configuration" of assembly line data by selecting the menu option Import/Export à
Export à Configuration - assembly line data.
When you select this menu option, the following dialog window appears:
file:///C:/Users/sgtma/AppData/Local/Temp/~hh7A5C.htm 2/4/2020
WinKFPT's Main Menu Page 22 of 43
This dialog window displays the export base directory currently set, e.g. <root>\NFS-Backup", and two
input fields ("Type series" and "I-Level") for the names of the two subdirectories.
A list box displays all the valid assembly line data sets (ECU families) available for selection for export.
You can select either no data set at all, one, several or all of the assembly line data sets.
If no valid assembly line data exists, the list box is empty and all you can do is export the tool-relevant
data by activating the corresponding check box.
With each export, the KMM data from the working directory "<root>\KMM\" is exported implicitly,
provided a KMM directory exists.
Before the actual copying process begins, the data to be exported is compared with the corresponding
data last exported and located in the highest-order index directory.
file:///C:/Users/sgtma/AppData/Local/Temp/~hh7A5C.htm 2/4/2020
WinKFPT's Main Menu Page 23 of 43
Excluded from comparison are the COMMON files because those to be exported cannot as a rule be
identical with those previously exported.
This basically results in the following two sequences for the export of assembly line data:
1. No new directories are created, i.e. the index directory is not increased. This is the case if the files to
be exported, either all or just some of them, are not yet present in the highest-order index
directory, and if all or some of the files present are identical with those to be exported.
All files are deleted from their respective export directory before copying begins.
2. New directories are created, i.e. the index directory is increased automatically. This is the case if one
and just one file to be exported is not identical with the corresponding file in the highest-order
index directory.
Every export of assembly line data is documented in the export log file "BACKUPEXPORT.LOG" in
the <root>\<NFS-Backup>\<typeseries>\<I-Level>\<index>\ directory.
The following pieces of information are entered in a log file for each export procedure:
· Type series
· I-Level
· Index
· ECU family

· Hardware interface
· Diagnosis protocol
The menu option "HW interface" enables you to switch dynamically between HW interfaces (EDIC,
ADS, etc.).
The "HW interface" menu option is only active if HW interfaces are entered in the configuration file
WINKFPT.INI (see “ Configuration in WINKFPT.INI”).
The menu option "Diagnosis protocol" enables you to choose dynamically between the diagnosis
protocols that are supported by a selected control unit (BMW-Fast, KWP2000, etc.).
The "Diagnosis protocol" menu option is only active if a selected control unit supports more than one
diagnosis protocol.
A control unit is selected by selecting an integration position (Comfort Mode) or by selecting a PABD
and P-SGBD (Expert Mode).

The "HW interface" menu option is only active if HW interfaces are entered in the configuration file
WINKFPT.INI.
All HW interface entries from WINKFPT.INI (see “ Configuration in WINKFPT.INI”) are presented in a
list for selection.
The HW interface unit is required by EDIABAS to enable it to distinguish between interfaces if several
HW interfaces of the same type are integrated (installed) in one computer.
To choose a HW interface:
If only one interface of this type is integrated in the computer, you must select "_" (= default).

When WinKFPT is started, the HW interface defined in "EDIABAS.INI" is activated and displayed by
default (see “ Configuration in EDIABAS.INI”).

You can, however, select a different setting straight away when starting a further WinKFPT instance
with the aid of the calling parameters -INTERFACE=<HW interface> and -UNIT=<Unit identifier>.
The "Diagnosis protocol" menu option is only active if a selected control unit supports more than one
diagnosis protocol.
A control unit is selected by selecting an integration position (Comfort mode) or by selecting a PABD
and P-SGBD (Expert mode).
Once you have chosen a control unit, WinKFPT automatically tries to call the job
"DIAGNOSEPROTOKOLL_LESEN" from the corresponding P-SGBD.
If the job is present, the diagnosis protocols specified in it are displayed in a list for selection.
If you do not make an explicit selection, the first diagnosis protocol from the list is activated by default.

If you close the dialog window by clicking "OK" and the settings in the window differ from those in the
Ini file, you are asked whether you would like to save your changes permanently to the Ini file. Even if
you reject this option now, the settings you have entered remain valid for the duration of the WinKFPT
session, and you are given another chance to save this configuration to the Ini file when you end the
session.
If you change the PABD format and a PABD has already been selected, you must then explicitly select a
new PABD in Expert mode or implicitly select a new PABD in Comfort mode by selecting an assembly
identification number (ZB number). Message boxes prompt you to do this.
