Review of VIN and template Files
A template is a separate file that captures and stores vehicle configuration changes that have been performed and applied to a vehicle configuration using the Diamond Logic® Builder software. A template can be saved for future use on additional vehicles. Configuration changes can be any of the following:
• Adding/Deleting 595XXX Features
• Changing Programmable Parameters
• Adding or Modifying Advanced Logic Blocks
Only VIN files may be programmed into a vehicle. Templates must be applied to a VIN file and then the updated VIN file may be programmed into the vehicle. Each vehicle or VIN may have one or more templates applied; however extreme caution must be taken when using multiple templates on the same vehicle. Using the same resources in two different templates and then program the templates on a vehicle will result in a resource conflict. Applying more than one template is not a recommended practice. If multiple templates are use, the user must ensure that resources are used only once per vehicle.
The vehicle program is made up of the following discrete software components: Base Kernel Program, a Configuration Program consisting of Features and Logic Blocks and a Programmable Parameter file. The version of these components is verified at load ensure that the latest version of each is installed in the vehicle. If the kernel program on the vehicle already contains the latest version available from International, then only the configuration file and programmable parameters would be loaded into the vehicle.
A vehicle may be re-programmed after at least one of the following conditions have been met:
• A newer version of the Kernel Program is available from International.
• A newer version of the Configuration Features is available from International.
• One or more features have been added or deleted from the vehicle.
• One or more programmable parameters have been modified.
• Advanced logic changed, added or deleted.
Once a template or VIN is saved it can be exported using the Export option in the File menu. Once exported to a desired directory it can be emailed, copied, etc. like any other data file. When exporting a VIN or template file it is recommended that the file be named the same as the template or the VIN number. Template and VIN files can be imported using Import option in the File menu.
